Dear Tim and All,
let me try to recap the sequence of steps and the relevant schedule:

1) the updated CSTS Spec. Framework, containing the Return Services ONLY 
shall be ready by end February. Yves is confident that he will mange to 
include all the latest changes ( dual-object-identifier etc) and complete 
the Book by that time. This will be submitted to the Secretariat for being 
published as Red-2.

2) at this time, the enhancement to  the CSTS prototype can start (the 
framework prototype with the dummy services). We will continue the work as 
before, i.e. ESA enhancing the Provider side and NASA the User side. I 
assume (I hope) that most of the work can be carried our during the 
March/April time frame, such that at the Spring Meeting in Darmstadt some 
interoperability tests can be run . I know that the schedule is tight, but 
we should make all efforts  in order to start the engineering work as soon 
as the CSTS Framework is available. For Tim: is this feasible on your 
side?

3) in parallel the MD Service Book shall be updated. John has highlighted 
the chapters that will be affected. For John: would you be available for 
updating the book in the a.m time frame (I mean, as soon as  the CSTS SF 
Book is deemed to be complete and is sent to Secretariat)? How long do you 
estimate that this task will take?

4)   when the MD Service Book is finalised, the enhancement to the MD 
Service Prototype can start.

Obviously, the two books  (Framework and MD Service) will further evolve, 
due the the upcoming Review of the Red-2 version. However, I think that we 
shall not wait until the Review is complete, as this  will take quite some 
time.
Actually, I am convinced that the "enhancement" of Prototypes will provide 
some important feedback during the review process.
Further changes  will/may be required to the prototype after the Review is 
completed. But this we will tackle when the time comes.

Kind regards,
Margherita

Hi Tim,

I have asked for some budget but I dont know, at the moment, if we will 
have this budget in time to be able to update the prototype for the spring 
meetings.
Best regards.

François

Thanks to everyone for the timely responses!

I agree with John and Yves that our prototypes should match the updated 
specifications of the Framework and Monitored Data service (that we may be 
able to produce within the next few weeks).

ESA/CNES: Do you agree in principle?  If so, will you be able to update 
your prototype in time to support an inter-operability test at the Spring 
meetings in Darmstadt?

Best regards,
Tim

Dear John,

Please note that I consider that the NOTIFY operation needs as well to be 
updated (I wait feed-back from the WG).

Best regards

Tim and Francois,
In order to be meaningful, the prototypes should be updated to use the 
dual-object-identifier form of naming that we agreed to in Boulder. Yves 
has an draft of the Framework that contains the updated versions  the 
Cyclic Report and Information Query procedures, GET operation, and 
associated ASN.1 modules. He?s asked me to review the updated version of 
the Notification procedure, and I?m hoping do that in the next 2 days. 
With those changes in place, he should be able to generate a draft version 
of the FW and generate the ASN.1 text modules that have the updates 
pertinent to the MD-CSTS.

I will review the MD-CSTS spec to see what, if any, impacts there are from 
these latest changes. I will try to do that this week.

Best regards,
John

Hi Tim,

The upgrades we have made recently (fall 2011) were made with the current 
version of specifications of the framework (something like 0.22). Is it 
really what you want ?
Best regards.

Hi,

I have a short window of time to work on upgrading the NASA software 
prototype of the Monitored Data Service ? in about a month the window may 
close and not re-open until after the Spring meetings.

To ensure that inter-operability testing goes smoothly, we have to make 
sure
that all of the prototypes use the same specifications!   With that in 
mind,
I am requesting that someone (Francois?) please send me the proper version 
of the specifications for the Framework and Monitored Data Service.

Plus (please, please, please, please) an ASCII TEXT version of all the 
ASN.1 definitions (Cyril?).

Best regards,
Tim_______________________________________________
