Preparation for Embedded Systems Working Group #2 Meeting

I. OEPs should prepare to brief the following information (30-45 minutes each) and/or discuss during Breakout sessions:
  1. Progress to date on discussions with Phase I technology developers
  2. Discuss baseline technology components for testbed (i.e., what will be provided)
  3. Discuss how each Phase I technology fits within the OEP Midterm Experiments and Demonstrations (FY02)
    1. Midterm experiments and demonstrations.
    2. Challenge Problems that each experiment will address (or what part of the challenge problem will be addressed)
    3. Phase I technologies that each experiment will include (or what part)
    4. Discuss any "gap areas" which need to be addressed
    5. How Phase I technology will be implemented in experiments.
  4. Success Criteria
    1. How to measure improvements in using MoBIES technology vs. current methods?
II. Phase I technology developers should come prepared to discuss and/or brief the following information during OEP Breakout Sessions (i.e., charts are preferred)
  1. Discuss OEP and Challenge Problem(s) they plan to address
    1. What experiments can be conducted?
  2. Discuss, in terms of the OEP, plans to meet FY02 Program Milestones
  3. Discuss plans for integrated or federated experiments to conduct to meet FY01 milestones
  4. Discuss "Success Criteria" for Phase I technology, expressed in terms of the MoBIES challenges (i.e., how to determine the technology meets its preliminary goal)
III. ESWG #2 Success Criteria (How to determine if this meeting was a success?)
  1. Each Phase I technology developer is tied to at least 1 OEP Midterm Experiment or Demonstration
  2. OEPs have clear understanding of where Phase I technologies fit into Midterm Experiments and Demonstrations
  3. "Gap Areas" are identified and a resolution plan is accomplished
    1. Phase I Technology developers identify "gap areas" in OEPs
      1. Missing models
      2. Challenge problem requirements and success criteria
      3. Tools from OEP that will be provided to Phase I technology developers
      4. Scheduling of resources to test Phase I technology
    2. OEPs identify critical areas related to Challenge Problem that are currently not addressed by Phase I technology
      1. Are workarounds needed?
  4. Identify Phase I technology demonstrations that will meet FY01 Program Milestones (4QFY01)
  5. OEPs have a Draft plan for meeting Midterm Experiment milestone (2QFY02)
    1. Identify strong performers
