Saturday WG10 Harmonisation Team Meeting in Fukuoka - please reply quickly

[Günter Staub]

Chris,

as you may know, we are doing here in Germany some work related to modules
in our joint WG of the ProSTEP Association and the VDA. As a result of that
work I will present some result of that WG at the next ISO Meeting in
Fukuoka, Japan. Among these result are:

- Comparison of the PDM schema with the PDM modules suite
- Existing problems with respect to compatibility between the PDM schema and
the PDM modules suite
- Proposals for improvements

These results are mainly based on the usage of a new generation of tools:
- Long form generator for modules specified on EXPRESS V2
- Schema Compare: A tool for comparing two EXPRESS (V2) schemata and
pointing out incompatibilities at different levels (identical, equivalent,
compatible, not P21 compatible, ...)

I will be happy to present the results described above at the WG10 meeting -
but I do not have any confirmed flight yet :-(


Kind regards,
Guenter

To WG10

AT San Francisco it was planned to hold a WG10 Harmonisation Team meeting on
the Saturday 29 September, it was also hoped that by then we would have a
leader for this activity.

I have asked Teresa if there have been any further nominations for this team
and if a leader has been nominated, but as yet have not heard.

I have requested a room for the Saturday meeting but would ask people to
notify me quickly if they are planning to attend.

Since I do not have any agenda items for the meeting could I ask people to
notify me if they wish to present any material.

I understand Gunter Staub has some material relevant to the PDM modules,
would this be a suitable topic?

(the PDM modules have now been signed off and will be in ballot shortly)

It may also be useful to get updates from
o David Leal on AP221
o FunSTEP (Ricardo)
o AP233? PLCS?

I hope that there will be a reasonable number of presentation to make the
Saturday meeting worthwhile.

Regards
Chris Vaughan
