There is a diagram in the SC paper that has the flow of messages, and
what each does; these messages also map to the WSDL of the Falkon
service. Mihael, Ben, or whoever else wants to start digging through
the Falkon code, maybe a meeting might be good to go over the
organization of the code, the message flow diagram, configuration
options, etc... I would prefer a meeting over drafting up more
documents, I think it would be more time effective for me for now.<br>

<pre wrap="">The WSDL should describe part of the web services bit of the protocol.
That might be a good place to start. The WSDL should already describe the
messages that go over the wire in something vaguely readable to a human.
Probably what would be needed would be the extra info to say which order
messages are sent.

<pre wrap="">I think a nice clean message sequence chart describing Falkon's various
activities would be very useful, as its the backbone of its logic.
I tried to create this for the SC paper by asking Ioan to describe the
protocol to me, but I dod not succeed.
I think this would be a very useful description to maintain, as a UML sequence
chart, and that Ioan this would be a very important part of your thesis or of
future papers.
Its up to you and Ian to weigh whether this would be valuable to your
research. I think its invaluable for design, review and debugging.

<pre wrap="">It's somewhat on the same in level of fun :). From the experience I've
accumulated so far, design is hard. Understanding prototype design is
probably even harder (not only do you need to understand the problem,
you also need to understand why many non-obvious things are done the way
they are done).

<pre wrap="">Right, taking prototypes and turning them into production isn't
necessarily fun - in fact, a lot of the fun already happened with the
making of the prototype and the rest is some what drugery. (to an extent
that's the same situation i2u2 cosmic was/is in).
