18 Sep - 1st Oct, Reading List & Requirement Analysis

To get more into SIMS project, both theory and technology, Vedran and I made a reading list for ourselves, I stopped development but only reading.

• D 1.1 Scenarios & Requirements for Methods, Tools and Middleware
• D 2.2 Language and Method Guidelines
• D 5.1 Middleware Support, initial version
• TF 01 - Service Example
• TF 02 - Service Development Process
• TF 03 - Runtime Example (& minutes)
• TF 11 - ODA Usage at Design-time and Run-time (to be read more)
• TF 20 - Service Discovery API Specification
• TF 22 - Code Generation Result

I read most of them carefully, and got a basic overall picture of SIMS. I try to analysis the requirements to the middleware, also use SIMS theory as reference. Does the current API satisfy the requirements? Will the middleware support SIMS applications well? What knowledges, such as Ontology, do I still lack of?

Due to some undetermined issues in SIMS, to have an extendable and flexible middleware is under my consideration.
