Current State of the Interface

The ZIY is a work in progress, and the interface reflects this. There are many parts of the ZIY that have not been completed yet, and thus have no related interface elements. Most of the interface functions in existence now are oriented to operating a single ZY. The ZIY will evolve into a process that delivers its results by automatically coordinating the operation of many ZYs to field a single request. Those interface elements that do exist have yet to be subjected to strong testing and thus may harbor some deficiencies. For example, the mechanism for executing a scan on a ZY is as yet far from optimum.
