Abstract
Embodiments provide a virtual machine infrastructure including an application model and a user interface for displaying data associated with a plurality of nodes. The user interface is arranged in a hierarchy of views. An application is added to the infrastructure by adding an edge category and a view extension to the infrastructure. The user interface simultaneously displays the added view extension together with a view extension provided by another application.
