Up: NOTE 201 - UPDATED AIPS++ SYNTHESIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN Previous: Prerequisites

Development plan

Here we cover the parts of the development plan appropriate to synthesis imaging. The goals of this development plan are to address pressing needs of the consortium partners and to push forward into new application areas. It is expected that this development plan will be revised from time to time to incorporate, for example, VLBI processing when appropriate.

Items in italics are not directly part of synthesis processing but are needed:

Target Duration Due date Who?
Initial version MeasurementSet DO 1 week March 97 Cornwell

The main unknowns in the development plan are the impact of the beta release process, and of NRAO's commitment to OVLBI on the availability of personnel on the time scales described here.
