REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group comp.soft-sys.ace
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of a
world-wide unmoderated Usenet newsgroup comp.soft-sys.ace.
This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.
Procedural details are below.
Newsgroups line:
comp.soft-sys.ace ACE programming, porting, and systems.
RATIONALE: comp.soft-sys.ace
The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is an object-oriented
(OO) framework that implements many core design patterns
for concurrent communication software. ACE provides a rich set of
reusable C++ wrappers and framework components that perform common
communication software tasks across a range of operating system
platforms. The communication software facilities provided by ACE
include:
o Interprocess communication
- Inter- and intrahost, using pipes, sockets, and System V IPC
- Event demultiplexing and event handler dispatching
- Easily and flexible proactive and reactive handling of I/O,
signals, and timers.
o Service initialization
Initialize your service handling when a connection is created -
cleanly separates establishing the service from running the
service, and it's the same for all implemented types of
connections.
o Shared memory management
- Memory-mapped files, and shared memory facilities.
o Message routing
Message routing is shown in some of the example programs and
tests that come in the ACE source kit. In fact, there are lots
of examples of how to use ACE, so you don't have to start from
scratch.
o Dynamic (re)configuration of distributed services
ACE can load and unload pieces of your application for high
levels of flexibility in your application's configuration and
deployment options.
o Concurrent execution and synchronization
ACE abstracts the various thread APIs into a very usable set of
objects - you can write threaded code to run on a number of
different platforms using a single code base.
ACE is targeted at developers of high-performance and real-time
communication services and applications. It simplifies the
development of OO network applications and services that utilize
interprocess communication, event demultiplexing, explicit dynamic
linking, and concurrency. In addition, ACE automates system
configuration and reconfiguration by dynamically linking services
into applications at run-time and executing these services in one
or more processes or threads.
The C++ version of ACE has been ported to a wide range of
uni-processor and multi-process computing platforms including
many UNIX variants, Win32, VxWorks. It is freely available in
soure code form via the Internet. Commercial support and consulting
are also available.
A single source tree is used for all platforms. There is also a
Java version of ACE.
You can get further information on ACE from the ACE home page
( http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html ) at Washington
University as well as Riverace Corporation's web site
( http://www.riverace.com ).
ACE is currently discussed on the ace-...@cs.wustl.edu mailing
list, which has approximately 500 subscribers. The mailing list
receives between 30 and 50 messages per day. Many current and
potential users of ACE would be better served by a newsgroup format
discussion.
CHARTER: comp.soft-sys.ace
The comp.soft-sys.ace newsgroup is formed for discussions of the
following topic areas:
- ACE announcements (new kits, etc.)
- Questions on how to use pieces of ACE
- Source code problems, fixes, and modifications
- Possible extensions and additions to ACE
- Questions which arise during porting to a new platform
- Systems built using the ACE frameworks, including the ACE
Web Server (JAWS) and the ACE ORB (TAO).
Posts which deal with particular platform or compiler issues that are
unrelated to one of the above topics are better made in a newsgroup
dealing specifically with the platform or compiler.
Posting of binary files is prohibited.
Infrequent posting of ACE-relevant commercial information is allowed.
The same posting may not be posted more often than monthly.
Posting of commercial information that is not strongly related to
ACE is prohibited.
END CHARTER.
PROCEDURE:
This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase
of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups
should be raised and resolved. The discussion period will continue for
a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this
proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For
Votes (CFV) may be posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion
warrants it. Please do not attempt to vote until this happens.
All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.
This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation
guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How
to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal". Please refer to these
documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any
questions about the process.
DISTRIBUTION:

FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
unmoderated group comp.soft-sys.ace
This CFV is to be distributed only by the votetaker. It is not to be
posted to newsgroups, or mailed to mailing lists or individuals, except by
the votetaker. Ballots or CFVs provided by anyone else will be invalid.
Newsgroups line:
comp.soft-sys.ace ACE programming, porting, and systems.
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 9 Oct 1997.
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Questions
about the proposed group should be directed to the proponent.

subscribers have expressed a desire to have a newsgroup, wanting
to alleviate the volume of email received.

following topic areas:
- ACE announcements (new kits, etc.)
- Questions on how to use pieces of ACE

IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES: READ THIS BEFORE VOTING
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One vote per person, one account
per voter. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.
Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid. Votes mailed by
WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered to be anonymous votes.
Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may
mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker
about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote
is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of
the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will
be published in the final voting results post.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of
persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from
disinterested parties defeats this purpose. Please do not distribute
this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted
to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise
edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
When in doubt, ask the votetaker.
HOW TO VOTE:
Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before and after
the "BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and "END OF BALLOT" lines. Don't worry about
the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your
reply inserts. Please, DO NOT send the entire CFV back to me!
Fill in the ballot as shown below. Please provde your REAL NAME and
indicate your desired vote in the appropriate locations inside the ballot.
When finished, MAIL the ballot to: < vot...@uvv.stanford.edu >
Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.
Examples of how to properly indicate your vote:
[ YES ] example.yes.vote
[ NO ] example.no.vote
[ ABSTAIN ] example.abstention
[ CANCEL ] example.cancellation
DO NOT modify, alter or delete any information in this ballot!
If you do, the voting software will probably reject your ballot.
If these instructions are unclear, please consult the Introduction to
Usenet Voting or the Usenet Voting FAQ at http://www.stanford.edu/~neilc/uvv.
