The vf-OS Open Application Development Framework is a set of components for supporting the service developers with the functionalities needed to define, design, develop, and orchestrate manufacturing-related services, on the development of vApps.

This vf-OS Component is subdivided in lower-level modules:

• Software Development Kit (SDK) defines and develops the application development environment in which all vf-OS Applications can be developed. This includes SDK documentation;
• Studio which defines and configures the IDE to allow the easy development and integration of the different applications;
• Frontend Environment provides a framework which facilitates the composition of Application frontends;
• Process Enabler (Designer) provides the designer application that will allow the creation of the Process workflow definitions in vf-OS;
• Data Mapping defines the manufacturing maps that will allow the transformation and integration of data.

Additionally, this page includes a Tickets entry to handle specific issues regarding the SDK as a whole (which may include management, integration, new features, etc.).
