= Project architecture =
The simExplorer project is divided into 8 packages  belonging to the following 5 categories:
 * Developement (WP1, WP2, WP3)
 * Technical ressource (WP6)
 * Connection with users compliances (WP4, WP5)
 * Technology watch (WP7)
 * Global management (WP0)

[[Image(workPackages.png,800px)]]
== WP0: Project Management ==
''Global coordination, communication, good practices and standardization.'' '''''Mathieu Leclaire'''''
 * Coordination (meeting coordination, meeting reports)
 * Standardization of the conception (use cases, UML conception)
 * Standardization of the documentation
 * Communication

[wiki:ProjectManagement/WP0/ WP0 activities]

== WP1 Core ==
''Core developpement.'' '''''Romain Reuillon'''''

 * Implementation of a generic workflow execution engine
 * Support various applicative scopes (stochastic simulations distribution, viability, genetic algorithms, image processing ?...)
 * Automatic workflow execution optimization (IDM, scheduling algorithm)
 * Persitance of workflow execution
 * Integration of third party software, how to run (requirements, virtualization?) and reuse third party software pieces (libraries)
 * Interface with existing workflow systems (taverna) and specifications (mexico)?

[wiki:ProjectManagement/WP1/ WP1 activities]

== WP2 GUI ==
''Graphical implementation of use case requirements.'' '''''Nicolas Dumoulin'''''

 * Defining an API with the Core and the IS
 * Designing an ergonomic prototype
 * Developping and integrating the main following use cases:
	 * Creation, modification, importation of workflows and of all the constitutive components of a Worflow (Task, Capsule, Transition, ...)
	 * Worflow control management
         * Creation and configuration of dynamical metadata structures
	 * Creation/Feeding of metadata in the IS context
         * Association a metadata to an object
         * Versionning objects and metadata

[wiki:ProjectManagement/WP2/ WP2 activities]

== WP3 Information System ==
''Managing multilevel, generic metadata. Ensure traceabilty of any kind of object including metadata.''  '''''Nicolas Dumoulin'''''
 * Metadata management:
 	* Building dynamical metadata structures.
         * Feeding metadata with content.
 	* Association of metadata to any kind of Worflow objects.
 * Traceability of: 	
	* Metadata including three levels of tracking:
		* ''Business'' metadata: allows the end users to define and manipulate their own buisness meta-data and associate them with results.
		* ''Metadata'' of the Worflow structure: data on the experiment definitions.
		* ''Worflow'' execution metadata: full traceability at the execution (keeping the full context of an execution).
 	* Any kind of Worflow object
 * Ensure local and remote versionning. 

[wiki:ProjectManagement/WP3/ WP3 activities]

== WP4 Model Integration ==
''Testing the plateform on new applicative scopes.'' '''''Mathieu Leclaire'''''
 * Working in cooperation with scientific partners for integration of their algorithms in the platform
 * Giving a feedback about new identified lacks and propose, if any, new but generic use cases
 * Appending the study in a catalog to trace the new technological progress 

[wiki:ProjectManagement/WP4/ WP4 activities]

== WP5 Community ==
''Gathering people in communities, sharing extra community experiences.'' '''''Mathieu Leclaire'''''
 * Sharing algoritms, workflows
 * Communication on the technologies
 * Administration of a multi-community forum (debug, disscussion about technics, workflow, business)

[wiki:ProjectManagement/WP5/ WP5 activities]

== WP6 Project Tools ==
''Dealing with the technical issues.'' '''''Nicolas Dumoulin'''''
 * Automatic generation of nightly snapshots
 * Automatic mechanisms to run unit tests
 * SVN server adminitration
 * TRAC server administration

[wiki:ProjectManagement/WP6/ WP6 activities]

== WP7 Design of Experiments ==
''State of the art in the statistics field.'' '''''Thierry Faure'''''

 * New DoE integration 
 * Prospecting for existing libraries and for statistical analysis and statistical tools.
