Interoperability Testing<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>The email thread I’m starting here is mainly for Tim, Pat,
and David, but I thought I’d send at least the initial message to the WG so
everybody knows where we are.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Which is: at this point we’ve gotten through the initial
steps of interoperability testing between the JPL and GSFC implementations and
also (via Internet) between the JPL and MSFC implementations. Our intent
has been to get together for a few days of intensive, face-to-face
interoperability testing among all three implementations, with the aim of
working through all of David’s test plan and being able to report at the end of
March that we have got interoperating implementations and are ready for a final
Agency review of the spec. I hoped, tentatively, that we might be ready
for this at some time in January. Pat and Tim, how do you feel about
that? Should we aim for early February instead?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>And what’s the best venue for this? I am pretty sure
that this kind of testing goes better if we are collocated, operating over a
tabletop LAN switch. That means that most of us must travel, though; is
that a problem? My thought has been that we’d minimize travel costs by
converging on GSFC, since all the rest of us should have access to direct
(hopefully inexpensive) flights into Dulles or BWI, but I am open to other
suggestions. And David, even though you wouldn’t have an implementation to
run in this exercise, would you be able to join us as test
conductor?<o:p></o:p></P>
