Objectives for today Selection - or better still finalization - of the NeSSI™-bus or buses. Articulate the need for both an embedded and a standalone SAM. Prioritize the SAM applet software needed by End Users to drive reliability. Clearly describe what component makers need to do to produce NeSSI™ products. Achieve these objectives by enthusiastic debate

Roles Active participants:the inner circle Observers:the peanut gallery Ringmaster:cracking the whip

The peanut gallery The topmost tier of seats, the cheapest in the house, a long way from the stage Attracted an impecunious class of patron, often highly irreverent and with a well-developed ability to heckle Patrons ate peanuts which made wonderful missiles for showing their opinion of artistes they didn’t like A liking for low humour and a total lack of sense or discrimination

Inner Circle: the bad boys of reggae “energy -filled live performances” “intensely loyal sense of family that's kept the band vital through some turbulent times” “we are all one, regardless of our different ideas” “being successful is day-to-day just trying to be happy and keeping it real”

The rail concept

Domain architecture

Legacy connectivity

User wants NeSSI (TM) -bus that is certified for both IS and non-IS. Open architecture, non- proprietary NeSSI (TM) -bus communication - anyone's component can talk to anyone's analyzer. Open connectivity to the process control and maintenance domains, using OPC. Open transferable applets - across all analyser manufacturer's platforms for both the embedded and stand-alone SAM. Plug and play sample systems.
