architecture and components
the main components of OpenRSM are the server, the agent and the user console. The console accepts input from users and conveys it to the server in the form of task objects. The server is responsible for the coordination of the subsystems and task dispatch. The agent is a passive component on managed stations that accepts commands from the server and executes them
