To provide feedback into the architecture discussion, and the overview of the technical requirements and implementation plan for the second project year was among the main topics as well.

On the second day another important section was organized parallel with the technical team’s meeting: a very interactive User requirement workshop, which highlighted a number of new aspects from the User’s perspective.

From the second day’s afternoon an IQmulus Mini Code Camp was organized. The Code Camp is the place to learn how to develop general distributed algorithms and to make experiments with the IQmulus distributed architecture. The purpose of the Mini Code Camp is to make sure project partners have everything they need to start developing geo processing services that run in a distributed environment. The following topics were in focus:

• Distributed file systems
• Data Access Service
• Distributed algorithms.

Hands-on sessions were included at the Code Camp as well. These sessions were performed on the computers of the participants in a virtual environment.  Participants had to prepare scenarios for geospatial processing before the code camp, which were implemented at the hands-on sessions.
