Notes:

 

This list covers te tasks to be carried out by T4’s participants during the first year, in a realistic way, i.e., we all think they can be achieved with a reasonable effort from all participants. It also tries to combine participants according to their particular interests and backgrounds, so proper joint collaborations are feasible during the first year.

5. Joint publications

The following list of joint papers from the previous task list was initially agreed:

 

  1. UML for Software architecture. Proposal to OMG. Deadline: August 20, 2001.
  2. Extension of UML for SA. To be prepared for the UML’2002 Conference. Deadline: March 2002.
  3. Extension of LI’s COTS trader to deal with NFRs. To be prepared for WER’01. Deadline: 2/7/01 [J].

 

In addition, each task in the table above is expected to produce a publication after completion, with the accomplished results.

6. Thesis

 

7. Further decisions

The following list of further decisions were taken during the meeting:

 

 

8. Visits
