SWRadio FTF & SBC DTFJoint Meeting June 23rd 2004
Agenda Items • FTF Overview • Deadlines, Requirements, Process • Issues • D&C Alignment • Implementation Discussion
FTF Overview • An F/RTF is chartered by the appropriate TC to gather comments on a particular specification from OMG Members and others, and to decide whether changes are necessary in response to those comments. An F/RTF may recommend changes that provide clarification of the wording without changing its intent, or minor revisions that correct the detail of the specification without adding or removing significant functionality. Enhancements to the specification are outside the scope of the F/RTF, and must be deferred to a later RFP process (see section 4.2). P&P 2.2 § 4.4.1.1
FTF Overview • FTF handles first post-adoption revision • Includes clean-up for publication • Turns “Adopted” submission into “available” specification • FTFs and RTFs respond to “Issues” submitted to OMG • Can come from anyone (including FTF/RTF members) • FTF/RTF members should file issues in the same way as non-members, so resolutions can be tracked
Raising Issues • Via the OMG web page (preferred) or email to issues@omg.org • http://www.omg.org/technology/agreement.htm • Juergen will manually assign the incoming issue to RTF/FTF, file it on issues page and email it to your RTF/FTF mailing list • When you discuss the issue, please preserve the issue number in the email subject • This helps Juergen when he copies the email thread back on to the Issues web page
Voting • Votes Taken by email • Meetings, email discussions and teleconferences are open to all OMG representatives (just like any OMG subgroup) • Simple Majority Voting
Delinquent Members • Non-participants are automatically ejected • A Representative on the F/RTF who fails to vote in a contiguous sequence of at least two polls that complete during a period of at least two weeks is automatically removed from the F/RTF. A proxy vote or a vote of abstain is considered a vote for this purpose. P&P 2.2 § 4.4.1.3

Issues • Specify which interfaces are mandatory, and which ports are required for components • Comm channel data descriptors need to be defined in the annex (currently TBD) • Physical layer TBD needs to be fixed in the annex • A provided port can have multiple interfaces -> an additional parameter needs to be added to the getPort operation? • Is there a need to have a getPorts operation? • disconnectPort operation at the resource level port does not have a requiredPort attribute. • Abstract data types for interface attributes and refer to those in the facility descriptions.
Issues • Start/stop behavior: what is the association? • Check “shall” & “may” statements • Mapping of UML Profile Infrastructure elements to M1 level. Better mapping needed. • OCL Statements for constraints needed • IDL Namespace issue (circular dependency) • Break the spec into multiple volumes
Action Items • Jerry: • Generate a document for node manager requirements, for D&C alignment • Group: • Raise issues!! • Database/White Paper on differences between SCA and SWRadio, and possible migration paths
Implementation Discussion • What’s the implementation requirement for APIs? • Which parties are interested in implementation?
