Online Software (aka BackEnd)

• Recent additions (version 0.0.10) include Monitoring Framework. User skeleton is provided (but missing a good Event class)
• Also some additions for the TileCal test beam.
• OKS Database now uses XML as internal file format. No changes apparent to the end user.
• Near future (by Xmas?): replacement of Rogue Wave Tools.h++ by STL. At that point it will be fully open source.
• Event Dump utility (using the Monitoring Framework) is under development in Java. We would still need to add subdetector specific decoding.
• New extended API for the Information Service (IS) is under consideration. Self describing data and integration with OKS. May not be completely backwards compatible?
