Agenda

• Convene & roll call, review meeting notices (5mins)
• Review action items from previous meeting (5mins)
• Desktop Agent Bridging Discussion group 25th Jan 2023  #897
• Updates from the BackPlane project (20mins)
• JsonSchema for messages, AsyncAPI, Socket.io, SignalR, ws (25mins)
• Proposal is currently based on agent < - > bridge communication and doesn't use any higher level group concepts:
• e.g. grouping of messages:
• Specific Agents -> RequestToBridge -> Bridge (request handler)
  Bridge (req handler) -> RequestToAllAgents -> All Agents
  Bridge (req handler) -> RequestToSpecificAgents -> Specific Agents
  Specific Agents -> ResponseToBridge -> Bridge (resp handler)
  Bridge (resp handler) -> ResponseToSpecificAgents -> Specific Agents
  Bridge (cnctd agents) -> ConnectAgentsUpdate -> All Agents
• mapped to channel names (with {variables}):
• RequestToBridge = bridge/request
  RequestToAllAgents = agents/all/request
  RequestToSpecificAgents = agents/{destkopAgentId}/request
  ResponseToBridge = bridge/response
  ResponseToSpecificAgents = agents/{desktopAgentId}/response
  ConnectedAgentsUpdate = agents/all/connectedAgentsUpdate
• Frameworks may be quite specific - necessitating use of their specific client
• SignalR Groups & Hubs/Socket.io rooms & namespaces/AsyncAPI channels
• AsyncAPI can be used to document APIs produced with frameworks. Seems to abstract some details (e.g. connection protocol)
• Are any grouping concepts actually needed?
• Should a framework be adopted OR a raw websocket protocol?
• AOB & Adjourn (5mins)
