C H A I M S: Compiling High-level Access Interfaces for Multi-site SoftwareTowards the Science of Component Engineering |
The most urgent goal for the quater winter 1998 is to get a minimal infrastructure running which takes a CHAIMS-megaprogram, compiles it and runs it (only CORBA, blobs are still strings). For this, the following things need to be finished:
A further goal of winter/spring 1998 is to have a basic infrastructure that allows us to experiment with further features of the CHAIMS-language like estimation and optimisation. This basic infrastructure includes the ability to mix megaprograms that speak different protocols (CORBA, DCE, DCOM, RMI) and the encoding of blobs as ASN.1 data. Furthermore we will need a demo by the end of June 1998.
