Issues to faceIssues to face

Introduction of 3D and adaptation? Interaction? How modular can we/do we want to be?

How general can we/do we want to be?

Are there technological limitations?

OutlookOutlook

Study better CMSL (contact KGB) Devise a domain specific modeling language Investigate the role of CO-OPN for simulation Verify and complete the levels of modeling Make a framework (with editor) to assist in

generating code

Use a simulator (CO-OPN, Lego…) Re-use CERN database schemas Plan training sessions with Lisbon on CO-OPN Gather use cases from CERN
