Service Nervous System (SNS)

We anticipate that different target groups are interested in different aspects of the Service Nervous System (SNS) and thus in different kinds of documentations. We thus try to split the SNS documentation accordingly.

This page provides an overview of the SNS documentation and provides links to the parts that already exist. Some of the SNS documentation is still being worked on and will be edited or added as the last SNS features are added, so please bare with us if it is not yet complete or a few parts do not yet work.
