Hi guys,

the middleware receive reads from a reader (or more than one) and can raise
events, right? The most low level events I can think of are:
a) added EPC; 
b) deleted EPC (when an epc was there and is not anymore)

Will the middleware raise deletion events? If yes, will the middleware treat
cases when an EPC was deleted from one reader and added to another? Or this
is a higher level application responsibility?

What are your thoughts about these raising events? Will different instances
of middleware talk to each other, maybe to detect an EPC has moved? Or again
this is a higher level app responsibility?

How will events be raised, in terms of message format and protocol? PML and
SOAP? JMS?

This is important for me so I can visualize if I need to develop those
deletion, movement, etc, functionalities in my application, or I should
contribute to RadioActive, maybe in this ALE module (I believe these would
be ALE's funcionalities).

Tks
Felipe

Hi Guys,

 

Just wanted to give you the status of our project.

 

We are currently developing 3 pieces of software:

 

1)       the EPC-IS prototype

2)       the middleware

3)       a hardware simulator

 

Randy is heading up the hardware simulator, and our goal is to have a driver
interface to simulate different readers and to generate the reader's network
traffic.  Shaun, Pawel and I are developing the base EPC-IS and middleware.
Once we have the base, it will be easier for more people to help develop the
rest.  

 

I really think our prototype software is going to get pretty complicated and
can probably be a release 0.1. 

 

Thanks,

Somen
