*
* \brief Abstract class for input/ouput system
*
* An input/output system is generally used to describe a sensor, an actuator or
*a filter. \n
* These systems can be linked (for exemple a sensor with a filter), when an
*IODevice
* is created with a parent of type IODevice.
* In this case, an update of the parent's data will call an update
* of the child's data (for exemple when a sensor gets new datas, a filter is
*automatically called). \n
* Output of this object can also be sent to a shared memory using the
*OutputToShMem method; in order to use it with an
* external program.
