Accomplishments since Orlando

• Proposal for the Concepts of Framework, Catalogue
  and Library
• Creation of a Catalogue
• to contain summary information on Application
  Modules Application Protocols
• with various ways of accessing modules, including
  a Framework for categorising AMs and APs
• Six of the first AMs have Summary Web Pages,
  which have been incorporated in the Catalogue
• Creation of a Framework for Categorising APs and
  AMs and to provide a top down evaluation to
  complement and check the bottom up work on APs
  (Industrial Framework Model)

Next Steps

• Incorporate Summary Web Pages as new AMs are
  defined.
• Make the Catalogue available as a web site
• Receive feedback on the Framework
• Industrial Framework Model (IFM) paper
• Update IFM as a result of feedback
• Refine and document the process for updating the
  Catalogue
• Make the Framework and Catalogue more independent
• Use the IFM
• to provide top down evaluation to complement and
  check the bottom up work on APs
• by evaluating the information flows on the
  Idealised Product Life Cycle
