Overview QuAL

  • Henning: are request IDs still in place? -> masurements for e.g. forks still working?
    • yes, reused parts from former probe spec
  • does a probe mounted at an action measure BEFORE or AFTER that action is executed?
    • not yet specifiable
  • Philipp: performance of sensor framework vs. edp2?
    • Steffen: nearly the same
  • Henning: UI-framework specific to EDP2 / Sensor Framework?
    • Steffen: rather not, usable outside that context as long as interface fits, accepts any type of datasource
  • Misha: please add pointers to documentation into the Palladio wiki
    • Philipp: please also have a look at the Experiment Automation, whether the wiki page is still up to date
  • Sebastian: EventSim is not yet totally refactored
    • Steffen: stopped refactoring when migrating to new ProbeSpec
    • Philipp: will have a look

Release Planning

  • Consent: EventSim and SimuLizar should be in AddOns rather than Incubation
  • Add Ons should be released shortly after the Core release

Status of different tools / projects

Completions

  • Steffen: (de-)marshalling seems to be broken
  • Steffen: throughput/latency still working; if you need more, consider using PCM/OMNET++
  • Steffen: there is also an implementation by Sebastian
    • was working several month ago
    • had more features
    • based on QVT, plus concept of CompletionComponent --> works with SimuCom
    • can be found in Incubation, PCM2SCA (or similar)
    • Sebastian: but not usable outside of the box, currently

StoEx

  • Matthias: new version based on Xtext, there is a branch currently, shall be part of upcoming release

Units

  • Steffen: there is now less code that *not* supports units :)
  • Steffen: ...still, units not yet supported by StoEx and simulations (incl. SimuCom) => no units for the upcoming release, but perhaps the release thereafter?

Reliability-Extensions in SimuCom

  • Henning: still correct (i.e. as developed by Franz) in SimuCom? should be checked.
    • Steffen: we should test the Reliability extension for 2-3 simple models (Responsible: Steffen)

LQN-Solver Transformation

  • Is LQN transformation still working? This was not clear. (perhaps Heiko/Anne could check this?)
    • Matthias: new binaries of LQN solver are not compatible with existing Palladio transformation
    • Steffen: even for the old binaries, transformation will probably work no longer because StoEx MM has changed

Protocom

    • Sebastian: new Protocom will be included into the release, ready in December

Palladio Profiles

  • Sebastian: Palladio Profiles, ready to be included into release?
    • Misha: some issues remaining, are planned to be fixed before the Palladio release
    • Christian: there are also some "modelling hacks" (for details ask Emre/Christian) -- there has not been an agreement whether these are actually hacks
  • Misha: Profiles UI Plugin currently not included, but should be
    • Sebastian: who does it? (Responsible: Misha)

Misc

  • Henning: something that has been dismissed?
    • Sebastian: SensorFramework deprecated (Matthias: so, make EDP2 the default UI selection)
      • Matthias: PerOpterys relies heavily on SensorFramework
        • Christian: Anne has a student that migrated PerOpteryx to EDP2
  • Christian: Andreas migrated SimuCom transformation, should make sure if the transformation is still the same semantically
    • Christian: believes there is a switch to easily select the "old" transformation

Testing

  • Misha: propably has a student that can execute the manual Jira tasks
  • Philipp: what about automated tests of SimuCom results?
    • Steffen: not sure if they work
    • To reinstate automated tests, three tasks have been identified:
      • Build server integration (Responsible: Sebastian)
      • Model migration (Responsible: Misha)
      • Checking model results (Responsible: Philipp)

Roadmap and Important Dates

  • Feature Freeze: mid of 01/2015
  • Release: Begin of April

Further Responsibilities

  • Informing about the release: Michael
  • Bundling: Christian
  • News: Klaus?
