The SAP HANA Engines?

I posted the following questions on saphana.com but never received a response. Anyone care to take a look? http://www.saphana.com/message/4304#4304

From what I know there are three basic engines used to processes queries in SAP HANA. There is the Join Engine, the OLAP Engine and the Calculation Engine. What I am not clear on is under what scenario are these engines invoked? My basic understanding is as follows but more information would be appreciated:

1. Join Engine
   1. Used when querying an Attribute View
   2. Questions:
      1. What If I execute a standard ANSI92 SQL statement from a BI tool or in SAP HANA Studio. Does this also use the Join Engine
      2. If my Analytic View foundation is joined to attribute views, is both the OLAP and JOIN Engine used?
      3. Is this engine embedded in the indexserver?
      4. How does the optimizer play a role with this engine?
2. OLAP Engine
   1. Analytic Views (without derived columns) use the OLAP Engine
   2. Questions:
      1. Can this only be invoked from the column views is the _SYS_BIC schema that have the term "OLAP" in their name
      2. What syntax is used to create these column views?
      3. Can I create my own column views (outside of activating an information view)
      4. Is this engine embedded in the indexserver?
      5. How does the optimizer play a role with this engine?
3. Calculation Engine
   1. Calculation Views or Analytic Views with derived columns use this engine
   2. Questions:
      1. Can this only be invoked from the column views is the _SYS_BIC schema
      2. What syntax is used to create these column views?
      3. Can I create my own column views (outside of activating an information view)
      4. Is this engine embedded in the indexserver?
      5. How does the optimizer play a role with this engine?
