Hey Guys,

Right the next milestone will be not next Monday but the Monday after, when we go and meet Jon a present our work to him.

I think that the following break down will work quite well, I've also included what I think would be a good level for each system to be at for that particular date.

Monitoring Centre - Will, Si (Will designed it so he knows what needs to be done)
- Should be able to receive connections from cars ( We gonna use RMI for this?)
- Should be able to receive a request from a car to go to a particular parking space, calculate wether there is free space and send response
- Should be able to receive updates from cars on their current position and display them on a map

(For the next milestone i envisage that the administrator will be able to close roads and do the other admin type stuff)

Simulation Engine - Stu (Stu did the designs so can divide the work up)
- Should be able to parse the Simulation file (formats online) and create the appropriate instances of Monitoring Centre and however many cars are needed

(Mile stone after that should allow manual specification of events)

ICS - Dan, Jimbo

- Should be able to create a connection with a monitoring centre
- Should allow the driver to specify where they would like to park and send this request to the server
- Should be able to calculate a route to a given location, not taking into account the fact that they may change destination
- Should display the given information to the user onscreen

I think if we have a meeting tomorrow at 10:00am? let me know if thats a bad time and we can reschedule, it wont be a very long one just to discuss this milestone and what needs to be done so each sub group can make as much progress!

(If you still haven't finished parsing and drawing side of things get it finished before embarking on this as we can't progress until it's complete)
