Reviewers

We would like everybody to invite you to review all or part of the available material (see 'Survey / Feedback' below, on how to provide your remarks to the OATC).

Anyone can participate in the reviewing process, no matter what your current knowledge about and interest in OpenMI is:

"I know nothing about OpenMI"

If you like to obtain insight in the basic ideas about OpenMI, see the 'OpenMI in a nutshell' and the 'Scope' document, and visit the OpenMI association page.

"I am using OpenMI 1.4 and like to know what has been prepared for 2.0"

Have the 'What is new in OpenMI 2.0' document.

"I like to do the review based on documentation"

Download all documents.

"I would like to play with the new version"

See the 'How to' page on downloading the most recent source code, and download all documentation and source code. You can compile the SDK, the examples, and the standard GUI. Based on the tutorials you can run prepared compositions.

Survey / Feedback

As mentioned above, anyone can participate in the reviewing process. We greatly value your opinion, so we encourage you to have a look at the OpenMI 2.0 Features Survey, where the various new features of OpenMI 2.0 are presented, including a poll on every feature. Please fill in the poll, and add comments if desired.

Besides of that, you can provide any additional feedback to the Standard, to the documentation and to other components. This can be done by going to the Feedback pages (see the 'Feedback' button). You can place there your comments, suggestions and/or ideas, and you can comment on already existing contributions. If you like to support some the already posted ideas, you can vote for them.

If you like to send a more complex document, please send it directly to some member of OATC and we will place it on the News page Review Process - NEWS.

Changes during review process

Members of the OATC will continue to update existing documentation, and will upload the documentation that is not avaiable yet (e.g. the GUI tutorials, some examples, SDK implementation documentation, etc). The Standard will not be changed during the review period. Information about updates on the available review material can be found on the page News Review Process - NEWS.

Evaluation of the Review process

The review process will be evaluated in April 2010. The result of the evaluation and the changes selected to be included in the final version of the Standard will be placed on the Review pages.

Version 2.0 Standard review

OpenMI 2.0 Standard - Beta version

On July 15, 2010 the OATC made available it's proposal of the OpenMI 2.0 Standard as beta version. It can be downloaded from the trunk of the SourceForge OpenMI project. With the release of this beta the Standard is basically frozen, unless critical things turn up. Near future efforts of the OATC members will be dedicated to updating the (C#) SDK and OpenMI Editor to match the 2.0 Standard proposal.

The following documents describe the OpenMI 2.0 Standard Beta version:

• What's new in OpenMI 2.0
• OpenMI 'in a nutshell
• Scope document
• Explanation of OpenMI Standard Extensions
• OpenMI Standard2 interface specification
• OpenMI Standard2 Reference manual
