The UAS is the most flexible part of SISNeT.
The potential scope of SISNeT applications is extensive.
The process of developing SISNeT-powered software applications
is the following:
Developing a SISNeT-compliant client module,
implementing the DS2DC protocol. The component (called
DS2DC Client) shall respect all the requirements stated
in the SISNeT User Interface Document (UID). That
document provides all the necessary knowledge that shall
be taken into account when building SISNeT-compliant applications.
The UID is available in electronic format, and can be
downloaded from the SISNET section of the ESA website.
Developing one or several processing stages.
These stages are implemented by the developer without
any restriction, and provide the UAS with the desired
functionality.
Developing a user interface to get information
from the user and present the results.
ESA developed -- during the first half
of year 2001 -- the first implementation of the SISNeT UAS.
This software is continuously evolving. ESA has made
the UAS available for download from the SISNeT Website in
2006.
