Dear Miguel,
You're right! Most of the changes that most be
made to the current system is the ones you
indicated. But there are also some other points
the should be taken into account such as:
- Currently there's only one socket for receiving
data from all the agents. But As we transform
the protocol to TCP/IP there'll be one per each
agent.
- There should be a good error-handling and recovery
mechanism in the new protocol.
- We think that it's good to have some new facilities
to the existing protocol such as the ability to
reconnect to the kernel in the case of loss of
connection to the kernel with a new AK_RECONNECT
packet.
- As you have indicated, these changes should be
made to the current version of the package with
as little changes as possible. We think that the
only part that needs a significant change is the
kernel and these changes should be made carefully
in order not to introduce a low-performance or
buggy kernel.
- May be a good documentation and a small API
(implemented in both Java and C++) is needed for
current teams working on the current Rescue
Simulation system should be made in order to ease
the process of migrating their codes to the new
system.
