TANGO Architecture: Components
Control Application provides TANGO GUI
- Provides uniform application session and floor control for all TANGO applications
- Launches applications locally or remotely, creates and connects to existing sessions, exits applications, logs into the system, etc.
- Routes messages between applications on the same node
- Monitors integrity of the distributed system
- User interface to the control application auto-adjusts to the operating system
- CA communicates with the system via LD
- The communication between control application and local daemon is different than in the case of standard Java applets since control application can also generate system messages
