Dorothe,

Did you get any responses one way or the other? Were they helpful? Did you
get an answer to your question?

I would be interested to know. You probablky know by now the OMG have given
the green light on the LECIS spec (attached)

Regards,

Tony

Hello,

I would appreciate if someone could help me with the interpretation of the
ASTM standard regarding the STATE_CHANGED message, in particular for the
POWERED UP state.

According to 7.4.1.1 the SLM connects to the TSC, then changes to POWERED
UP, and needs to announce this with a STATE_CHANGED message.
On the other side, POWERED UP is the very default state (that of Control
Flow, which is the entry state of Operating, which is the entry state of the
top level state), from where connection to the TSC is started (6.1.1) and
from where state changes must be due to commands or event reports (7.3.1).

I think there is a contradiction between 7.4.1.1 and the other sections
dealing with POWERED UP and the state changed message, and I'm not convinced
that the state changed message should be sent (in the same way as the entry
in LOCAL CONTROL doesn't need to be announced) as at that point the SLM
hasn't really changed a state in a current interaction (7.5.1). The TSC can
always query the status of the Control Flow interaction if it wants to know
what state the SLM is in.

Does anyone agree/disagree?

Best regards,

Dorothe Steidinger

The OMG LECIS specification has been accepted by the OMG.

In detail:
The LSR (lifescience) taskforce has voted in favour of LECIS and the OMG
Architectural Board (AB) recommended LECIS for "adoption" .
In the next few weeks, the OMG will send all members a ballot to vote for
the LECIS adoption. This is normally not a problem, since the AB has already
recommended it.
Nonetheless,the AB requires us to make some changes to the specification.
This includes things like the IDL naming conventions, and other minor
things, which will not change the overall concept of the specification.
These changes can (officially) be made in a OMG Finalization Task Force
(FTF). An FTF will be created at the next meeting.
In the next 18 Month, we must provide an implementation for OMG LECIS.
Otherwise the OMG will dismiss the specification. The FTF will resolve all
problems in the spec that will be found during the implementation. After
the FTF is done, the LECIS specification will become a "formal" OMG
specification.

Everybody, who is interested in implementing the specification should
contact me (thorsten.richter@...) to get information about
the latest version of the specification.

Currently the AB voted on the document lifesci/01-06-01 with the errata
document lifesci/01-07-08.
In the next few days I will provide the convienience document including the
changes. It has the OMG document number lifesci/01-07-09.
The documents can be found soon at:
http://www.omg.org/techprocess/meetings/schedule/LECIS_RFP.html

In the next weeks we are going to include most of the requested changes of
the AB. This document will provide a basis for a consistent implementation,
that will already include many changes that will (officially) be made during
the FTF process.

Regards,
Thorsten
