==Meeting with Ian==

===Architecture===
* Sticking to the scenario that Sakura proposed (Sending over the entire test script instruction set to be executed on the phone).
**Send the actual application along with Testing.java.
* Look into extending the XML schema to be applicable to all devices. E.g. If an Image is too large to be displayed on a particular device then that images or test case should be omitted.
* Stick with the Bluetooth technology and put aside Java RMI.
*Focus on Functional testing for now, performance later.
*The bluetooth connection will be left open. Later if we figure it out, we can try closing the connection to save resources.
*Mobile does all the gathering of data, PC puts it in a legible format
**Make PC figure out the testing results

===Concrete scenarios===
* Need to looking into more complex/interesting scenarios that take into account the mobile devices execution environment. E.g. Network issues such as unavailability, Power Consumption on the mobile device, Timing issues (non-functional) and also possibly bandwidth issues with bluetooth.
* Basically a look into conditional constraints that address these matters.
* Want to be able to specify/test the general layout of a form. E.g. Given a component x, it should be left of component y, and below component z.
* Look into multi-homing. That is given a set of communication methods (e.g. Bluetooth, WiFi or GPRS) which is the best candidate to use for a particular situation. Again this goes back to looking into the mobile devices execution environment.

====Scenario revision====

*Scenario 7 - not feasible
*Scenario 9 - functional component focus, not performance
*Scenario 10 - Look at it in more detail => it is an interesting case
*Scenario 11 - execution environment for the device
*Scenario 12 - Definitely should be done, simple to do
*Scenario 13 - Usability testing, important
*Scenario 14 - Express constraints as percentage

*New scenario 1 - Have a subset of components that should be displayed on the small screen
*New scenario 2 - Measure energy levels, battery consumption

===Conference Paper===
* Ian is to identify a suitable structure for the conference paper relating to the project and to draft what should go in each of the sections.
* Ian will also take a look at some of the references that have been brought to light during the course of the project.
* Once a structure is formed, specific sections will be allocated to begin writing.
===For next time===
*Revise scenarios
**How we're going to express all these scenarios in XML
*Implement fully the testing application i.e. simulate events on phone and send data back to PC
