Pajé trace file format

This report describes the PAJÉ trace file format, a self-defined, textual, and generic format to described the behavior of computer programs that are executed in parallel or distributed systems. A file in this format has three sections: event definition, type hierarchy declaration and timestamped events, complying with the event definitions, to be used to build visualizations according to the type hierarchy. See Section 6 for file revisions. Current maintainer: Lucas M.
