Description
The use of the graphical user interface in a control system is the challenge of every control room
and is often dominated by standalone applications. Web technologies allow us to overcome some
limitations of standalone applications, but also involve some obstacles. With Taranta we are dis-
covering a trend that prefers web technologies.
Taranta suite is a web-based toolset jointly developed by MAX IV Laboratory and the SKA that
allows the fast development of graphical user interfaces connected to TANGO devices, based on a
set of predefined widgets and a drag-and-drop mechanism and therefore without the need to write
any additional code.
During the presentation, it will be presented the Taranta general architecture and the main widgets
currently available, it will be described how the Taranta suite is deployed in the SKA integration
environment and explained the process used to collect feedback from the SKA community to define
the roadmap for the future development of the tool.
