External Discussion Partners

During the issue of OMIS version 1.0 and OMIS version 2.0 we received much valuable feedback from many cooperation and discussion partners. There are plannings to integrate OMIS/OCM with the following projects:

• The SMiLE project (Shared Memory in a LAN-like Environment) by Hermann Hellwagner and Wolfgang Karl at LRR-TUM.
• The DOSMOS project (Distributed Objects Shared MemOry System) by Lionel Brunie, Laurent Lefevre, Olivier Reymann at Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon, France.
• The P$\leftarrow$Beam project by Stefan Petri (formerly Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany, now LRR-TUM) and Bettina Schnor (now at Universität Lübeck, Germany).
• The GRADE project by Peter Kacsuk at KFKI MSZKI,Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary.
• The MAD project by Jens Volkert, Dieter Kranzlmüller, and Sigfried Grabner at Department of Computer Science at University Linz, Austria.

We thank all researchers in these groups for there constant interest in our work and the input they gave us. Further critical referees of OMIS 1.0 have been:

Helmar Burkhart, Günter Dehner, Jack Dongarra, Wolfgang Gentzsch, Jeff Hollingsworth, Rusty Lusk, Barton Miller, Rod Oldehoeft, Douglas M. Pase, Jeffrey Vetter.

We thank you for your effort with reading our document and giving us feedback on the proposed project. We tried to make correction according to your suggestions.

We apologize for any name that might be mssing in this list. We promise to correct this as soon as we detect it.

The OMIS/OCM Team

We would like to thank our students Manfred Geischeder, Michael Uemminghaus, and Hans-Günter Zeller for their participation in the design phase of the OCM implementation.

Jörg Trinitis is currently in charge of managing this implementation. Many thanks to him for his activities.

Our students Alexander Fichtner, Matthias Hilbig, Carsten Isert, and Andreas Schmidt are currently very busy with implementing all the modules. We appreciate their support.

Many people at the chair were involved in discussions about details of OMIS, OCM, and THE TOOL-SET that will be attached to the monitoring system. We thank all of them for their feedback they gave to us. Special thanks to Michael Oberhuber, who was heavily involved in discussing the specification in its first phase.
