              Weekly Report Mar.31-Apr.6

Done:
1. Traced the source code of Cogkit and Swift,  made clear about how Swift works. The “Boinc provider” can be found by Swift now, but it still does not work well with Swift
2. Swift adaptor can now handle the situation when jobs are submitted simultaneously, even though they ask the same application to execute with different input files or arguments.

Issues: 
1. As for the problem of “Boinc provider” can not work well with Swift,  since “Boinc provider” employs the same mechanism as “ssh provider”, so we try “ssh provider”, and the same problem occurred. User can not login to ssh server using Swift, the SSH server can only receive the header of the authentication message, and then the connection lost.

To Do:
1.  Solve the problem of “ssh” and work out the prototype, and then test the whole system.
2. Make the program be able to handle job state query request from BOINC provider.
