Hill <hillj@isis.vanderbilt.edu><br><br># PropertyManager:<br> o A new interpreter that simplifies setting the values of complex <br>type Property values.<br><br># Component Behavior Modeling Language (CBML) has new features.<br> o Added modeling support for do-while, for, and while loops. They <br>have the same modeling semantics as branch states.<br> o Contact: James H. Hill <hillj@isis.vanderbilt.edu><br><br># CIAOEvents Project<br> o EventChannelConfiguration model and an interpreter for CQML<br> o Contact: Friedhelm Wolf <fwolf@dre.vanderbilt.edu><br><br># NetQoS<br> o New OCL constraints to check the well-formedness of the model <br>using NetQoS.<br> o Contact: Sumant Tambe <sutambe@dre.vanderbilt.edu><br><br># Bug fixes:<br> o DeploymentPlan Interpreter: The implementation detail of a <br>component instance is now determined by the component instance’s type, <br>and not its name. Selecting the implementation detail based on the <br>component instance’s name was a problem when a subtype of a component, <br>or any component instance, was given the incorrect name.<br> o DeploymentPlan Interpreter: The type information for monolithic <br>components of component assembly instances that were contained in <br>another component assemblies was not handled correctly.<br> o Contact: James H. Hill <hillj@isis.vanderbilt.edu><br><br>Thanks to all the contributors who helped in creating this release of <br>CoSMIC successfully.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Sumant.<br>_______________________________________________<br>cosmic-dev mailing list<br>cosmic-dev@list.isis.vanderbilt.edu<br>http://list.isis.vanderbilt.edu/mailman/listinfo/cosmic-dev<br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
