1. Task 1 mentions early and late binding time for monitor points, then clarifies that by saying that 'late' means enabling at compilation time, then using runtime mechanisms mentioned in Task 2. Task 2 lists only reading, resetting, and constraint triggering. Does this mean that interactive toggling isn't required? 2. Are non-CORBA use cases envisioned? By 'non-CORBA' we mean applications without CORBA or anything equivalent to it. 3. Some older feedback on the SOW indicates that a complex rule/constraint language is too heavyweight. In that feedback, the Extended Trader Constraint Language (ETCL) that's used in the Notification Service was explicitly rejected, but it has since crept into our discussion on this end. We need to get clear about what is desired, especially in light of the answer to 2. 4. The SOW seems to imply that distributed ACE logging is needed to meet the requirements (remote access, wide range of info destinations). ACE distributed logging consists of a central logging server and client logging 'proxies', where users of the service connect to the latter. While this approach will certainly meet the logging requirements, it might make it harder to meet the overhead requirements. By getting clearer on the logging requirements, we can better avoid overkill on the implementation.
