13.0 FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS
NetDC
is being released in a "functional" form with the idea that future
code will be added to make installation and running of NetDC easier,
more robust, and increasingly feature rich. Some of the ideas proposed
are as follows:
- interface NetDC with Portable Data Collection Center (PDCC)
software
to create a complete request processing package
- implement more intelligent forms of routing, perhaps involving
deeper routing layers (national data centers to regional data
centers to installation sites)
- implement processing for more kinds of data types
- support different file formats of waveform data output
- easier forms of NetDC configuration that can be changed without
recompiling code
- support conversion from other data request types
- create interface tools to NetDC for administrative and request
functions
- use sockets protocol for messaging instead of email
Note that the above are only proposals and may or may not be
implemented in follow-up versions of NetDC. User feedback will
also contribute to determining the direction that NetDC takes
in future developmental cycles.
