[Css-csts] CSTS - Draft Recommendation - Association & Buffered Data Delivery procedures

[Yves.Doat at esa.int]

Dear members of the CSTS,

I uploaded the newest draft version (0.9) of our Recommendation in the
directory "CWE Private\SLE Toolkit Procedures\CSTS Procedures Definition
Recommendation 0.9.doc".

This newest version contains the following information:
   Section 1, Introduction: updated with the agreed terminology discussed
   during the July teleconference.
   Section 2, Overview: not updated. This section will be revised once we
   will have a greed on a suitable model.
   Section 3, Common Principles. Rearranged/rephrased whenever required.
   Section 4, Common Operations. Updated with the comments received since
   Colrorado Spring. Some comments have been left with a proposed answer.
   Section 5, Association Control Procedure. I copied the text prepared by
   CNES. I completed the Provider state table and added 3 tables for
   completeness (Event description references, Predicate description,
   Compound action definitions)
   Section 6.1, Buffered Data Delivery Procedure. As a consequence of the
   received comments, I updated the procedure and the main changes are:
   1. Data Buffer is renamed Recorded Buffer
   2. Timely mode is renamed Real-time.
   3. The complete mode (covering off-line and complete on-line) reads the
   data from the Recorded Buffer to fill the Transfer Buffer.
   4.   The complete mode stores all events. Currently (SLE) the event are
   not stored for off-line delivery
   5.   Provider state table
   Annex A contains the Service Provider State as discussed in Colorado
   Spring
   Annex B contains the Production status states.
   Annex C, ASN.1. Not yet updated. Will be updated before our October
   meeting
   Annex D to G not yet updated.

I hope you will have time to read it and prepare comments. In case you have
comments before the meeting do not hesitate to send them to me.

Best regards

Yves DOAT
