C H A I M S: Compiling High-level Access Interfaces for Multi-site Software Towards the Science of Component Engineering

Summer 1997 Tasks

• CHAIMS compiler
• CHAIMS runtime in CORBA
• Megamodule for I/O

Summer 1997 Schedule

• By July 11, 1997:
  • Completed posterboard for EDCS Demonstration
  
  
• By July 31, 1997:
  • CHAIMS compiler more than halfway done
  • lex/yacc definitions for CHAIMS
  • fully defined BNF
  • detailed specs for CHAIMS runtime in CORBA completed (intended to be modified throughout summer), maybe have basic runtime working
  • setup parameters, arguments, architecture defined for native compliant I/O megamodule (i.e. I/O megamodule is ready to be driven by CORBA)
  • thorough study of ASN.1 for marshalling purposes
  • posterboard presentation at EDCS Demonstration (July 21-24)
  
  
• By September 1, 1997:
  • working, end to end operation of a CHAIMS program
  • fully operatonal CHAIMS runtime for CORBA
  • I/O megamodule up and running, using ASN.1 for marshalling
  • CHAIMS runtime for DCE started
  • possibly start work for display megamodule
