Preperation Hawaii: - slides done - animation done - yet to do: main web-page, short script, - megaprograms: Status demos: Transportation demo: fixing some bugs in the wrapper stuff ESTIMATE: just random number generator for now. Later, but only when adequate example and megamodules are used, a more sophisticated implementation could be done, having interactions with the native megamodule for estimation also when invoking, storing previous values, taking into account current load, making categories of attributes according to influence on estimate.... EXAMINE: introducing second parameter: Laurence writes a specification for the second parameter, including changes in CPAM protocol description, CORBA-IDL-file, RMI-Interface definition, CLAM syntax, CLAM semantic, additional notation for repository, changes and design for wrappers, changes for compiler. Partial Extract: how will we make partial extracts? Proposal: provider has to tell in repository how he signals that results are available, he can do that by using the second parameter of EXAMINE. Neal: summarize partial extract: megaprogram example that uses second parameter, repository, describe how EXTRACT would be implemented in wrappers. Open question: how to know just which parameters are finished? (second kind of partial extract?) -- Dorothea Beringer Stanford University beringer@db.stanford.edu http://www-db.stanford.edu/people/beringer.html --
