The COSMOS user interface is a web application, comprised of a set of COSMOS web components that allow users to manage, query, and locate data managers. A user can launch the COSMOS UI by opening http://localhost:8080/COSMOSUI with their browser. This assumes that the COSMOS UI web application is deployed on the localhost at port 8080. The initial page of the COSMOS Web User Interface displays three main panes. The left pane shows a list of data managers that are registered with the broker. The top right pane shows a detail view that is initially blank, while the bottom right pane shows a properties view that is also initially blank.
Additional capabilities may be added to the COSMOS User Interface by providing new web components that can be integrated and configured for the COSMOS User Interface. The COSMOS Uset Interface is built on a framework that provides a list of predefined re-usable components, like query dialog boxes, CMDBf repsponse viewers, etc. The list of web components is outline under the COSMOS Web Component Library.
