<DIV><SPAN class=741400119-06122006><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I'm just kicking
off an activity to look at defining the requirements and candidate technologies
for the CCSDS SOIS Device Enumeration Service, leading to the writing of a White
Book (a.k.a. Concept paper).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=741400119-06122006><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>So as a starting
point, I am conducting a survey of agency/industry requirements and any
candidate technologies anyone would care to suggest. I aim to present the
finding of the survey at the next SOIS meeting in Colorado Springs in January so
I would appreciate it if any responses are returned to me by Friday 5th January.
Please also feel free to distribute this request to any other parties you may
believe would be interested in this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
