5. 5 09 October 2007 5 1.Application Services Working Group Goal: Develop SOIS Application support layer services and associated protocols if required Working Group Summary progress: Rid review completed, Red book update underway Agreement reached on use of AMS Plug and play approach agreed with P&P BOF Problems and Issues: Prototyping delay Working Group Summary Situation: SOIS AREA REPORT status:OKCAUTIONPROBLEM comment: Pending prototyping and red book development

6. 6 09 October 2007 6 2.Subnetwork services Goal: Develop SOIS Subnetwork Services and associated protocols if required Working Group Summary progress: Rid review completed, Green book updated, Red book update underway Previous meeting with SpaceWire WG very positive, SOIS compliant protocols under preparation by SpaceWire WG Interaction with ECSS Milbus group underway CAN Bus planned for 2008 Problems and Issues Introduction of new signalling service requires name change of Time distribution Red Book – to Synchronisation service Prototyping delay Working Group Summary Situation: status:OKCAUTIONPROBLEM comment: Pending prototyping SOIS AREA REPORT

7. 7 09 October 2007 7 3.Plug and Play BOF Goal: Develop SOIS plug and Play capability Working Group Summary progress: Definition of “SOIS Device Plug-and-Play” agreed: “SOIS Device Plug-and- Play is the set of automated mechanisms used to discover, learn the capabilities of, and provide access to a device in a spacecraft’s onboard (sub-)network.” Use cases developed ( FDIR, rapid spacecraft assembly, integration and test, BioNet) and tested against straw man architecture Plan of work established for remaining SOIS Red books Problems and Issues BOF Now has clear plan of work, do we create ‘high profile’ working group or absorb work into existing working groups? Working Group Summary Situation: status:OKCAUTIONPROBLEM comment: Pending prototyping SOIS AREA REPORT

8. 8 09 October 2007 8 4.Wireless BOF Goal: CCSDS focus group for wireless technologies. Make recommendations pursuant to standardization of applicable wireless network protocols Working Group Summary progress: Consensus gained in 3 areas of work: Inventory control Intra-vehicle Assembly, Integration, and Test Draft charter prepared for working group Problems and Issues (Heads up) Wireless for Planetary surface currently not covered Working Group Summary Situation: status:OKCAUTIONPROBLEM comment: SOIS AREA REPORT

9. 9 09 October 2007 9 D. Cross Area Issues SOIS requires a calibration service to support access to sensors. This was previous highlighted and an understanding reached that MOIMS would cover the topic. It is understood that MOIMS have not yet started the work so the agreement needs to be reviewed in terms of schedule and who does what – action assigned SOIS AREA REPORT
