Implementation Plan
Limited resources and aggressive Year 2 program requires tight integration and software reuse between tasks
Core technology for both development projects will be provided by NPAC WORB - our new Java/CORBA/COM based component broker - acting both as new WebFlow server in Task 6) and RTI node agent in Task 7).
We will evaluate new Java COTS for Task 6 GUI such as Visual Cafe by Symantec, JavaStudio by Sun, VisualAge by IBM, JBuilder by Borland.
Working with SPEEDES in Task 3) will provide insights into non-trivial Time Management issues for Task 7) which are not fully resolved by the current DMSO RTI
Parallel port planning (Tasks 4,5) will provide specification requirements for the next stage (Year 3) High Performance Object Web FMS infrastructure
