+= COSMOS work flow process
+Typical 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).
+
+== Registration
+In order to use the test bed you must register for an account. Registration can be done as an individual or an organization.
+To register as an individual use the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/register new user registration form].
+Otherwise to register as a group or organization use [https://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/register this form here].
+
+== Setting up SSH client
+Access 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.
+
+== 1. Making a reservation
+You'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].
+
+== 2. Log into testbed
+[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. 
+
+== 3. Configure node / resources
+Now you're ready to check and load images (ie. linux operating system) onto the available resources - [wiki:Documentation/Short/LoadImage here].
+
+== 4. Work / develop using nodes / resources
+At 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.
+
+== 5. Save progress prior to reservation time ending
+This is always optional :) 
+In 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.
