1. Start

    Mr. Brown started the meeting at 8:26.


2. Assessment of the situation

    The design document deadline is next monday March 29th. Desing activities 
    are being completed and it is expected that the document for the animator 
    part will be completed during next week. Some sections of the document 
    have been initiated. 

3. Discussion
    
    3-A: Status check using the project plan
   
    The schedule of the P-Group has changed, but this doesn´t have any 
    consequence on the global schedule. The design phase official end is next 
    Monday Mar 29th and implementation phase should begin. Design document and 
    test plan are to be completed. 
    
    The design document unofficial review will probably be held on Thursday 
    April 1st, and for the test plan we need more complete design information, 
    like a global class diagram. We can begin to think about test cases 
    anyway. The integration testing included in the test plan is also related 
    to the trip to Petrozavodsk, as this task will be completed there. 
    
    It is mentioned that meeting Mr. Kojo before the trip to Petrozavodsk to 
    get some extra material (maybe tcpdump logs for boundary situations) could 
    be important.
    

    3-B: P-Group XML proposals

    The proposal of Mr. Kryshen about having several units in the XML for 
    sent, lost and received packets is discussed. It seems that it is possible 
    with the H-group proposal to describe fragmentation in between the hosts 
    as well, and it will keep the analysis of the sending and reception in the 
    analyzer part. It will still be analysed and discussed through the forum 
    to try to reach the best possible solution aiming expandability and 
    correctness.
    


4. Action points
   
   All the members will be filling up the different sections of the design 
   document according to the task division done in last meeting. The design 
   document for the animator is available in dacopan/documents/design/animator/ 
   in the CVS repository.
   
   Mr. Arrastia and Mr. Fernández, who were absent in last meeting, will be 
   working with Mr. Aarniala on data structures classes, XML input/output, and 
   animation sequence framework. 
   
   

5. End

    Mr. Brown ended the meeting at 10:05
