2. Why Web? What is TANGO WebApp?
● “the following characteristics for the SKA Graphical User Interface (GUI) have been identified: scalability,
integrated tools, extendability and completeness”
● “the TANGO WebApp proved itself not only fully compliant with the User Centered Design, but also flexible
enough to add functionalities in the form of properly developed plugins. These characteristics of the
TANGo WebApp, together with its unique feature to be integrated into TANGO, make it a good candidate
to be the SKA GUI platform”
