5     Absent: pjm2

7     Absentee(s): Unable to attend due to weather conditions.
8    
9     The intention of the meeting was to complete the Time Plan
10     Allocation, which is a required deliverable. Although almost
11     finished tasks had not been allocated to group members.
12    
13     Tim noted that a soft reboot of Compsoc1 may be required to
14     enable the meeting to proceed as planned. Compsoc1 quietens
15     down.
16    
17     A discussion about the sizes of compiled C++ programs on
18 tdb 1.2 Solaris concluded that the actual size of the binary
19 ab11 1.1 executable is down to the setup of the compiler on the
20     target machine. It is decided that we should not worry
21     about this hurdle until further into the projects
22     development.
23    
24 tdb 1.2 The technologies which the project would utilise were
25 ab11 1.1 discussed and the following points raised.
26    
27     - During the first few phases of the development our own
28     protocol should be used for communication between Hosts
29 tdb 1.2 and server, and server and clients. If a defined
30     technology, such as SNMP, is decided upon then this can
31     easily be substituted in due to the modular design of the
32     applications.
33 ab11 1.1
34     - The protocol should be based on XML or a system not too
35 tdb 1.2 dis-similar. The reason for this is it all text based and
36 ab11 1.1 thus easier to process.
37    
38     - The use of UDP and TCP/IP as communication layers between
39     hosts and filer/collectors. To be discussed further with
40     possible input from JC and PSSC.
41    
42     The use of heart beats was also discussed. It was decided
43 tdb 1.2 that further thought would have to be given to the
44     implication of these before they would be finalised.
45 ab11 1.1
46     Meeting concluded @ 12:00pm
47    
48     Meeting re-conviened @ 3:00pm
49    
50     Discussion on the implemention of the plugin technology
51     concluded that data should flow through plugins in a
52 tdb 1.2 sequential manner and should remain as plain text at all
53     times. It was also discussed that plugins should have a
54     'order' coded into them, to allow the data to flow in a
55     suitable manner for the plugins.

57     Meeting concluded @ 4:30pm
