The FAST consortium has put in contact with Open Mashup Alliance (OMA). The main objective of these contacts is to explore the possibility of modeling FAST piping using EMML standard. We are working on aligning both approaches, focusing in reducing the differences of them, but it seems possible to implement FAST import/export using a EMML subset, and extend the standard with more data sources, FAST-triggers or some high level pipping structures.
The FAST project online user evaluation has finished. This evaluation has been fully satisfactory. Most of the evaluators defined FAST as a good or excellent tool. Besides, they have provided a set of recommendations and new features proposal that will be analysed by the FAST team.
The FAST Project plenary meeting was held last week of September, at Kassel University. The main topics analysed during the meeting were the situation and results of the work-packages of the project, the preparation of the User evaluation stage and the summary of the improvements to be included in the deliverables to be released by the end of February 2010
This event will take place in Lyon on 25-27 November 2008. FAST will be present there and a number of our representatives will take active part the sessions. FAST is also co-organizing the networking session “Next Generation Service Front-Ends in the future Internet of Services: Research Challenges and Opportunities”
This first issue concentrates on presenting the project to the community and on the early involvement in the common innovation strategy with other EU sponsored projects. There are also some preliminary results in the form of publications.
