Re: [triquetrum-dev] Triquetrum Status

Christopher,

Thanks very much for the update!

I'm sorry I didn't make the call. My meetings overran me in the end. :-(

I'll take a closer look into the references that you shared for tool integration. Hopefully by the end of the month I will have a good direction in mind for ICE's workflow aggregation piece.

Erwin and I met via Google Hangout, below are some details.

The next call will be on Tuesday, May 17 at 9:30am Pacific.  Email me if you want an invitation and are willing to use Google Plus.  If someone feels strongly, we could try another tool, I'm not wedded to Google Hangouts.

Today, we prioritized the open CQs with regard to which packages are fairly stable and which are likely to change.  Our intention is to freeze the CQs at the end of May.  If the IP team is at EclipseCon France in June, then Erwin will meet with them to confirm that the CQs can be handled by the October 21 release date.

We went through the open issues at https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/issues and added a few to the Triquetrum Science2016Release milestone (See https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/milestones/Science2016Release). We created an OxygenMilestone, which is where we can move issues that will not be addressed in time for the Science 2016 Release in October.

We discussed how to grow the Triquetrum community and our current plan is to work with the Eclipse Layout Kernel (https://www.eclipse.org/elk/) group.  Erwin will attempt to meet with them at EclipseCon France.

We had a wide ranging conversation about various Eclipse workflow efforts.  My take on this is that there are many tools out there, most use just one model of computation.  An advantage of Ptolemy II is that discuss how to compose different models of computation. Tool integration between these tools is not of interest to me, but could be a money maker for the right company.   Tool interchange formats was a research topic in my department, see the work of Alessandro Pinto.  A good overview from 2005 maybe found at http://virtualhost.cs.columbia.edu/~luca/research/hybrid_hscc2005.pdf. The idea of using a tool like ICE to execute different tools is interesting.  A long time ago, we had a model of computation called "Design Flow Management", which was like a visual make command, where actors invoked subprocesses that passed file handles around. This sort of thing could be done with Kahn Process Networks, where each actor is a separate thread.
