Difference: UIFBlog (1 vs. 6)

• long paper was accepted at euroSSC!
• revised short paper, added mention of ECT service-property mapping, related work, mention of application abstraction. Found LNCS endnote style and revised paper to use it (allowed 9 point font). Small grammar errors. I think it is ready to go.

• finished implementing and tested a simple event last Thursday
• talked about scheduling thesis proposal with CK.
• added idea of application or client to model, still not sure.
• looking at CoMoRea for submitting paper, also Pervasive in Toronto.
• Started revising long paper based on MF feedback.
• made minor changes to Ubisys paper to be camera ready
• focus is to revise Ubisys paper (another day only - 1 page), read previous CoMoRea papers and write outline for this workshop
• started installing PlaceMedia, reviewing code.

Remainder of the week/early next

• read up on Context Fabric, write related work section, make other minor improvements to paper
• get PM installed on laptop
• test PM on desktop and laptop
• draft paper for CoMoRea

• to auto generate a test UI we need a service/event/context description. Perhaps we can use some code that generates HTML from WSDL.
• we should be able to easily generate XML to/from Parameters.

• continuing work on implementing and testing event interface using model browser, then will start integration with PlaceMedia
• added new event methods (add subscription, get subscriptions)
• added event test jsp, servlet etc for prototype events to browser
• model is database backed
• getting context from browser works now
• made small changes to model for eventTypes and eventNames and associated rules
• added support for login/out, getting events to model UI (not done)

Notes:

• may want to serialize Parameter to XML so it can be displayed easily (on context value return and getting events)
• need to have a clean break between prototype and platform - more refactoring
• need client SDK for facade as well with required types
• integration components should live in a separate JAR file

• environment browser service calls mostly working now

Friday July 21 2006

• refactoring all "callService" and invoke calls to use Parameters rather than objects, all the way down to the service level.
• Must ensure that no Java 5 code is used in files where XDoclet is required.
