+DMaaP Bus Controller Application
+================================
+
+The DMaaP Bus Controller web application provides a front-end GUI to a subset of
+the OpenDCAE DMaaP Bus Controller API. The GUI offers a user-friendly way for DMaaP
+administrators to add, modify and remove Data Router feeds (transfers of large
+file-based data sets) and Message Router topics (low-latency transfers of small
+messages). Users can view all feeds and topics; add and remove feed publishers;
+add and remove feed subscribers; and add and remove topic clients.
+
+The Data Bus Controller web application is essentially a proxy that passes thru
+all requests to the DMaaP bus controller's REST API, and displays the results.
+All data is stored in the DMaaP bus controller back-end; the application stores no
+data on feeds or topics. The application only stores user-entered access profiles.
