Meeting minutes 2015 10 01

Topics

• bugzilla update
  • Dini, Balázs perform feasibility check
  • Ábel, István: lots of cruft in the “Future” section, should be revised
  • “ownerless” tickets (especially in 1.2) should be assigned
    • seems to mostly affect LS
  • István: VIATRA seems to lack a “vision” to guide issue management, I have come up with one
    • 0.8 should contain only short term issues, 0.9 contains everything else
    • for 0.9, the followings should have priority:
      • prototypical deeper integration between EMF, DSE and CEP (does not have dedicated ticket yet, but we already have a concept brewing, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/VIATRA/Transformation_API/Adapter_Framework
      • semantics consolidation for CEP
      • API improvements for emf core
      • fully featured debugger
      • dedicated API constructs for recurring aspects such as traceability management
    • for 1.0,
      • (must) mature deep integration between emf-dse-cep
      • (must) mature debugger
      • (optional) dedicated xform DSL for emf core
• local search
  • we need a bugzilla review
  • involve Balázs Grill for the 1.2 timeframe
    • “integration tasks”

VIATRA

• long term vision is still unclear
• CEP
  • 0.8: syntax revision done (keywords and structures modified, introduced traits)
  • 0.9
    • changes to semantics (important input: DSE/EMF-integration scenarios, TDK)
    • configuration framework (wiring up event model(s) with engine(s)) - https://basecamp.com/2559808/projects/5376340/todos/208479305
• DSE
  • research driven development (what is needed for papers)
  • used in MONDO project (Csabi), API breakage should be made by synchronizing
