THE ESA USER APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Implementing the DS2DC protocol
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 plans to make the UAS available for download from the SISNeT Website in 2002.
