3.2 SEA and the Director
SEA provides the Director with the ability to capture and interpret hardware events, either automatically or at the request of an outside process. The Director captures, translates, and analyzes the events, and routes messages for the SEA system. The Director is idle except for during the following circumstances:
- Events are received for processing
- Messages arrive from other WEBES processes on the same system
- Messages arrive from a Director on another system
- Another WEBES tool within the Director performs any task
SEA includes a web browser interface that interacts with the Director. Although only one Director can run on a system at any time, many web browser connections can be active simultaneously, all connected to a single Director.
