Meeting Notes - 07/11/1996

The followings items were discussed:

  1. Still no verdict on the string matching problem. We decided to use case-insensitive string matching. Ramana will make the appropriate changes to his query engine.
  2. Administration: We decided to keep track of all issues that come up and cannot be resolved right away. The list will be maintained by Joachim and can be found here. Please feel free to mail me anything that should be added to this list.
  3. Future of CSL/SSL: We have decided that it is time to redo our client-server protocol and move to CORBA distributed objects. Our goal is to leave the interfaces in place, i.e., reduce the amount of code that has to modified in each component. Ideally, we want to keep the same function calls (TM_INIT, TM_QUERY, TM_FETCH, etc.) and just use ILU to handle the networking instead of our own TCP/IP stuff. Tom Schirmer, Andy Maag, and Joachim are taking the lead on this effort. More on this later...
