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

3
Roles

• Active participants the inner circle
• Observers the peanut gallery
• Ringmaster cracking the whip

4
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 didnt
  like
• A liking for low humour and a total lack of sense
  or discrimination

5
The Inner Circle
6
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

7
The rail concept
8
Domain architecture
9
Legacy connectivity
10
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.
