All, Hiro asked Andrew and I to post information about an upcoming meeting that will take place at Imperial College in London next week (12 December 2005 through 14 December 2005). I apologize to those of you on this list who already have this information. Uva has implemented prototype "proof-of-concept" versions of BES, ByteIO and an "RNS-lite" using WSRF.NET. Next week we will be meeting with a number of individuals to discuss/analyze/test interoperability of these implementations (in particular we are hoping to interop test with an implementation of BES being developed by William Lee at Imperial College. This meeting will also likely include discussions of implementation experiences in the hopes of improving the involved specifications. -Mark -- Mark Morgan Research Scientist Department of Computer Science University of Virginia http://www.mark-morgan.net mark@mark-morgan.net
