Agenda:

Meeting Discussion

• Continue to Review Interfaces from May 14, 2015, May 28, 2015, and June 11, 2015
• Interfaces:
  • Extract Requirements from existing proposals
  • Get agreement on requirements
  • Create implemenation
• Requirement: Bundles
  • Drivers
  • Individual Directions
  • Hierarchical composability
  • Events: on separate elements / subelements
  • Objects in a bundle: Signals, Shared Variables, AMS ...
  • Views of connection to bundle - simlar to ModPort
• AI: Brent to look at collecting requirement list into one place
• Discussed with Ernst state of 1076/1076.1 document
