Screenshot of the RIESGOS demonstrator
The RIESGOS demonstrator is based on a modular and scalable concept for multi-risk information. It consists of a series of independent, distributed webservices, and a user interface that accesses these services. The graphical user interface of the demonstrator can be accessed from a web browser. The main screen is divided into three main display areas: the central map window, the configuration wizard for the control of each web service to the left, and the results panel to the right. -
