## Platform Architecture
While the framework provides a more general architectural paradigm for
building application, the platform adds more specificity by defining
additional extension types and allowing for integration with back end
components.
The run-time architecture of an Open MCT Web application can be categorized
into certain high-level tiers:

[Templates]->[<state> AngularJS]
[AngularJS]->[Presentation Layer]
[Presentation Layer]->[Information Model]
[Presentation Layer]->[Service Infrastructure]

[Service Infrastructure]->[<state> Browser APIs]
[Browser APIs]->[Back-end]
