FORCE BDSS Design

The BDSS is an Envisage/Task application. it uses tasks to manage the plugin system, with stevedore to manage the additions.

• Application
• Operations
• Class Diagrams
  • Factory Classes
  • Model Classes
  • Runtime Classes
    • MCO
    • Data Sources
    • Notification Listeners
• Workflow representation
  • Workflow Specification
  • Workflow Class
  • Workflow JSON Files
• Event Handling
• Verification
• Package Structure

Future directions

The future design will probably need to address the following:

• Check if the --evaluate strategy and design is still relevant. More MCOs are needed for reasonable conclusions.

• IWM is going to provide a strict description of types (osp-core, previously known as simphony). Currently, all type entries in the e.g. slots are simple strings as a workaround. This is supposed to change once IWM provides a comprehensive set of types.

• The project is now at a stage where plugins can be developed, and real evaluations can be performed. We can solve the current toy cases, but real cases and UI requirements may promote the need for additional requirements.
