The following table lists the main objectives of the pSpace project order by their urgency.
| Objective | Priority | Effort | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reliability | high | medium | ✘ |
| Maintainability | medium | low | ✘ |
| Interoperability | high | medium/high | ✘ |
| Security | medium/high | medium | ✘ |
| Performance | low/medium | high | ✘ |
| Enhancements | low | high | ✘ |
- Urgency: what needs to be addressed first.
- Objective: a desired property/capability of pSpaces.
- Priority: how important the objective is.
- Effort: predicted effort as the project grows, that is, how the effort required to maintain the objective grows as new features keep being added.
- Status: ✓ (achieved), ✘ (non achieved).
The objectives shall act as barriers for all libraries: only once all libraries have meet the objective, development of the project can move to the next objective.
We list here some tasks that need to be carried out to achieve the desired goals:
Reliability
- Networked repositories architecture (at least for one language)
- Well-defined protocol (at least for one language)
- End-to-end testing
- Unit testing
Maintainability
- Slim documentation
- Commenting conventions
- Contribution rules
Interoperability
- Networked repositories architecture (for all languages)
- Protocol adherence for all languages
Security
- Access control
- Secure communication
Performance
- Efficient data structures
- Benchmarking
Enhancements
- Persistency
- Transactions
- Mobility
