Agenda

Short Term (2021OCT)

• Maintenance (Bug-fixing / Improvements)
• Obsolescence Management
  
  • Python3 (8+6 packages) – 2021AUG+2021OCT
  • Java (10+9 packages) – 2021AUG+2021OCT
  • Shunit2 – 2021AUG
  • Move External Dependencies (Some of ACS' Tools) out of ACS build and into ExtProd
    
    • Analyze moving more tools to ExtProds
• Generate Maven Artifacts for ACS Jars
• ACS New Makefile
  
  • Instructions for migration pending
• C++ Modernization – Threading – 2021OCT
  
  • As discussed in previous meetings, this will be optional, if time allows deliverable
• Coordination for implementing simulation switch for CONTROL devices between ACS and CONTROL-SERVICES – 2021OCT
• ACS Services Modernization
  • OpenDDS as alternative for BDNT

Mid Term (2021DEC --> 2022FEB)

• ACS C++ Modernization SmartPointers – Likely 2021DEC
• Refactor BulkData modules in order to allow different implementations to coexist in a cleaner way – 2021DEC/2022FEB

Long Term (TBD)

• RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 Coordination
  • It was decided that we aim for cycle 10
  • See more in RHEL 8 Migration Plan.
• Redesign C++ Logging
• ACS Services Modernization
  • Continue NC implementation study
  • Continue ZeroMQ-based BulkData transfer implementation
• Java Modules
