     2= COSMOS work flow process
     3Typical work process on COSMOS is shown below. This is suggested as a reference for first-time users. '''Registration''' and '''setting up the ssh client''' are a one-time process after which the basic work flow cycle begins. This work flow is shown below in an event flow figure (upside down stick lollipop).

     5== Registration
     6In order to use the test bed you must register for an account. Registration can be done as an individual or an organization.
     7To register as an individual use the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/register new user registration form].
     8Otherwise to register as a group or organization use [https://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/register this form here].
     9
     10== Setting up SSH client
     11Access to the COSMOS resources is done via SSH. How the SSH client is set up depends on the type of OS you are using. Please see [wiki:tutorials/ssh Configuring SSH Keys] for specific details.
     12
     13== 1. Making a reservation
     14You'll need to allocated a set of nodes / resources at a specific date/time under your registered account name. This process is outlined here -  [wiki:Documentation/Short/CreateRes create a reservation].
     15
     16== 2. Log into testbed
     17[wiki:tutorials/login Log into the console] of your reserved domain. Once you're logged into the console you'll have access to all the resources under that domain.
     18
     19== 3. Configure node / resources
     20Now you're ready to check and load images (ie. linux operating system) onto the available resources - [wiki:Documentation/Short/LoadImage here].
     21
     22== 4. Work / develop using nodes / resources
     23At this point you'll be able to all your resources are accessible. You should be able to log into the resource and start development. As an example refer to the [wiki:tutorials/basic_usage basic usage tutorial] for this process.
     24
     25== 5. Save progress prior to reservation time ending
     26This is always optional :)
     27In the case when you have made additions to the loaded image, you may want to save it prior to your reservation time ending. The saving process is described [wiki:Documentation/Short/SaveImage here].  By saving the resource's image you can reload it at a later time and continue where you left off.
