3) Gazelle Update
- Staff reshuffling has caused some delays
- Vienna used Gazelle for registration and Kudu for testing
- IHE North America Connectathon 2010 likely to use Kudu for registration and testing
- Would allow INRIA to focus exclusively on testing platform development
- INRIA/Rennes working on Web GUI and underlying test platform development (based on BPEL)
- Can now launch tests from Gazelle
- Goal to have test platform released by October
- Opening registration for Europe 2010 in October: will be completely based on Gazelle
- Mallinckrodt/St. Louis working on lower-level test definitions and test plans
- Need to translate existing tests (600 test scripts) into language used for test definition in Gazelle
- NIST conferences and contract tenders may come in late summer (September)
- IHE project goal is to make Gazelle the development platform for NIST testing tools; avoid having NIST develop additional platform; advantageous to be able to demonstrate test platform
- Rob Snelick is currently writing spec for NIST to issue to contractors
- Possible to demonstrate test definition tools, external validation service; Eric's lab has instance of test platform in place to use for demonstration purposes
- Action Item: Chris Carr to invite Rob Snelick and Lisa Carnahan to Gazelle demonstration/update tcon (Webex)
- Suggest to Lisa on her return next week; include Rob Snelick if possible; schedule before July 22 (beginning of Eric's vacation)
