3     PROJECT STATUS

4     PRESENTATION
 
The Presentation ATS had only just arrived in TAIPEI (though it had
been available within INTAP earlier).  Both AOW and OIW accepted the
Presentation work.
 
DAN026 version 2 reviewed.  Documents CSELT/HARMON001, CSELT/002,
CSELT/003, CSELT/004, CSELT/005, CSELT/007, CSELT/012 and CSELT/016
would not be included as part of the PSTS deliverable but would be
provided to EWOS as output from the project.
 
The Presentation ATS would have to be further updated to reflect
comments contained in DAN007-3.  When checked by QA (DAN007-4) this
would them be complete.
 
CSELT had updated CSELT018 to version 2 which was presented at the
meeting.
 
All work will complete by 24/10/94.
 
 
5     TEST MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL
 
All comments now accommodated (or rejected with acceptance of
originator):
 
-     DAN022 (FhG response in FHG/016)
-     INTC-055 (FhG response in FHG /017)
-     FHG/011 proposal (FHG/018)
-     PTT-NL010 (FhG response FHG/019)
-     AOW document N898 (accepted but no formal response).
 
It was agreed not to add an explanation concerning an inactivity
timer.
 
The final version of FHG/012 (version 1.2) was circulated at the
meeting on Friday 14th October 1994.
 
 
6     ROSE
 
ATA advised that not all the ROSE-USER tests were covered by the CMIP
ATS.  An ATS/TSS/TP set for ROSE-USER was required therefore (albeit
small).
 
The roadmap was agreed as follows:
 
-     ROSE TSS/TP and ATS to be delivered to PTT-NL by ATA by 17/10/94
-     PTT-NL to QA it 18/10/94
-     PTT-NL would forward to AOW and OIW 19/10/94
-     AOW and OIW would confirm acceptance by 26/10/94.
 
All ROSE work to complete by 31/10/94.
 
 
7     CMIP ASN.1
 
Document DAN026 version 2 was reviewed.  The CMIP ASN.1 ATS required
some additional changes to accommodate comments contained in DAN019-2.
This would be available by 21/10/94.
 
Information related to the IXIT (DEL001) should be provided to ATA
(and Level-7).
 
The CMIP ASN.1 work was accepted by AOW and OIW.
 
All work will complete by 24/10/94.
 
 
8     CMIP
 
8.1   TSS/TP (FHG/017 version 1.5)
 
Comments had been received and were responded to as follows:
 
-     DAN023 (FhG response FHG/020)
-     AOW email dated 12/8/94 (FhG response FHG/021)
-     AOW NM N897 (FhG response FHG/022)
-     ATA/010 (FhG response FHG/023)
 
There were no points of disagreement and version 1.7 of FHG/007 was
distributed at the meeting on Friday 14th October.
 
 
8.2   ATS
 
Comments had been received as follows:
 
-     AOW NM N899R2
-     INTC006 (covered by NM N899R2 above)
-     AOW NM N908 (received 11th October)
-     CSELT paper
-     PTT-NL006.
 
ATA and FhG would work through these and respond.  (ATA had already
covered PTT-NL006 in ATA019 dated 22/7/94 but neither PTT-NL or Level-
7 had received it).
 
The naming conventions had not been 100 percent applied due to the
time involved particularly to convert the test cases inherited from
CTS3.  This would be an "exception" in the final report.
 
The roadmap was that the ATS comments would be worked through by ATA
and FhG by 21/10/94.  CSELT and FhG ATS parts would be provided to ATA
by 21/10/94.  ATA would complete merged ATS by 31/10/94.
 
 
8.3   Test Purpose Selection
 
Comments had been received:
 
-     INTC001
-     PTT-NL009 (responded to in ATA019 version 2).
 
All comments had been accepted.  ATA015 would be updated and reissued
(version 2).
 
All work can complete by 31/10/94.
 
 
9     SESSION
 
The Session deliverables had been finalised on 31st August, having
taken account of comments from AOW.  Final copies had been provided by
NCC to Level-7 and PTT-NL (who in turn had redistributed them to AOW
and OIW).
 
Only actions MTG5/ACTS/02, MTG5/ACTS/06 and MTG6/ACTS/11 and 12 were
outstanding.
 
All work would complete by 21/10/94.
 
 
10    ACSE and ACSE ASN.1
 
The ATS was nearing completion; the outstanding points of
clarification were cleared up between SGT and Danet.
 
An AOW comment INTC007 was received by fax on the day of the meeting.
This was accepted by SGT and would be addressed in the final release
which would be produced by 24/10/94.  Danet could then reissue DAN013
at version 4.  Information should be included to assist the test
realiser.  SGT had provided their input to DEL001; copies of the
appropriate pages were passed to Danet.
 
SEMA/006 - ACSE PCTR was made available at the meeting.
 
Reference to SEMA/03 should be deleted from DAN026.
 
All work would complete by 24/10/94.
 
 
11    NEXT STEPS
 
 
The PTN027 Final Report should be made available to the EWOS
Secretariat by Monday 24th October so that it could be included in the
second TA mailing on Friday 28th October.
 
Simultaneous to this activity the technical work would continue to
complete by the 31st October.
 
Danet and PTT-NL would spend 4th November at Level-7 to produce the
final deliverables to be produced for EWOS.
 
There would be a 5-10 minute presentation required by the project to
the TA on the 22nd/23rd November.  Wolfgang Ballin offered to do this
using the overheads produced by the Project Manager.

12.1  AOW - Dr Yoshimi Teshigawara

was involved).
