The Consortium
submitted an official proposal to representatives of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) describing a Web Services architecture based generic system
supervision architecture based on GeneSyS. GeneSyS partners continuously
made and continue to make efforts to turn GeneSyS into a standard or
recommendation or to foster the development of such a standard based on
GeneSyS.

The Consortium
finished development of GeneSyS V2 and also finished the 2 proposed validation
scenarios:
- Distributed training (distributed simulation)
- Web Servers Monitoring
The Distributed training scenario validated GeneSyS in the context of
a complex distributed training/simulation environment operated by EADS. This simulation
environment targets the ATV-ISS (Automated Transfer Vehicle - International
Space Station) rendez-vous mission on the basis of HLA middleware.
THe Web Servers Monitoring scenario targeted the use of GeneSyS for
the supervision of Web Servers including their various components. THis
scenario provided a complete set of tools for monitoring a typical Web
Server setup and applications including moinoring of Apache, MySQL,
PostgreSql, Tomcat, PHP and also includes a Web Responsiveness agent and the
Agent Dependency Framework, which enables the definition of dependencies
among the above components.

The Consortium presented GeneSyS to the EC reviewers in Brussels during the 4th review of the Project. This review concentrated on the architecture of the 2nd version of GeneSyS and the plans for the validation of the new version. The reviwers found the project in good condition being on track with the original project plan.

The conference paper "GeneSyS Project: Supervision of Distributed Systems (03E-SIW-043)" written and presented by GeneSyS partners EADS-ST and D3-Group has been awarded by the SISO 2003 conference committee as one of the "Outstanding" papers of the conference.

The Consortium presented GeneSyS to the EC reviewers in Stuttgart during the third review of the Project. The review included live demonstration of the newly released source and binary packages available at SourceForge. A highlight of the review was the presentation of a GeneSyS console developed for the iPAQ platform using the Microsoft .NET compact framework. The reviwers found the project in good condition being on track with the original project plan.

The Consortium officially published sources of GeneSyS 1.0. The release includes the following packages (in source
and binary form):
- GeneSyS Connector Api
- GeneSyS Core
- GeneSyS Active Network Agent
- GeneSyS Generic Console
- GeneSyS Linux System Agent
- GeneSyS Passive Network Agent
- GeneSyS Quality Network Agent
- GeneSyS Sample Agent
- GeneSyS System Console
- GeneSyS Tomcat Agent
- GeneSyS Win2K Agent

The PDR scenario's "sub-scenario" involving multicast
MBONE tools instead of the Netmeeting/MCU approach has been validated
by the consortium. This validation used MBONE agent and MBONE console (click images to zoom):

The consortium started the validation of GeneSyS using
the PDR (Preliminary Design Review) scenario. This scenario involves a
document database (EDB), which stores design documents of an ATV
(Automatic Transfer Vehicle, space transporter for the international
space station) mission. Reviewers use the EDB to get the documents to
review and write they opinions in form of RID-s (Review Item Documents)
uploaded back to the EDB.
This system is enhanced by the GeneSyS project by adding video
conferencing to this traditionally off-line process of discussing
design documents, as well as system supervision capabilities of GeneSyS
to ensure reliability of video conferencing and EDB operation. Here are
some screenshots of the scenario (click images to zoom):

Second
review of GeneSyS in Stuttgart, with live demonstration of the GeneSyS
system. The demonstration included parts of the system also planned to
be used in the PDR validation scenario, namely
- EDB agent: for monitoring the document database
of a PDR session
- Tomcat agent: hosting the EDB
- GTI6-DSE agent: multimedia agent for monitoring
the MCU used for NetMeeting sessions
- MBONE agent: for demonstrating alternative
video conferencing tools used in PDR
- Network agent: for checking network performance
during a PDR session
- EDB, System and MBONE consoles for visualizing
monitoring data
The progress of the project have been successfully reviewed by the
European Commission. |

A
connector API has been defined for Java components. This new API allows
easier development of GeneSyS agents because it requires minimal effort
for programmers to write their code that only need to deal with
monitoring and should not take care of GeneSyS related communication
and message processing.
The GeneSyS team rewrote the existing Java based components to use the
new API. |
| 2003.01.08 |
First
internal release of GeneSyS and successful integration test of the
components including:
- GeneSyS Core
- Generic console
- Linux System agent
- Windows 2000 System agent
- Network agent
- Tomcat agent, console
- MBONE agent, console

Architecture
workshop in Les Mureaux. SYSLOAD Software
leaves the GeneSyS consortium. A new partner, NAVUS GmbH, is joining the
project. |
| 2002.03.01 |
The
GeneSyS Project (IST-2001-34162) officially started with the kick-off
meeting of the contributing partners. The meeting was organized by
EADS-LV and took place in Les Mureaux. The partners distributed various
tasks among each other and established the different management
structures and procedures. |

GeneSyS
Architecture Workshop. This meeting took place in Hungary, hosted by
MTA SZTAKI. The purpose of the meeting was to define the architecture
of the GeneSyS system and to distribute the design and development work
among consortium partners. |
