[Frederic Conrotte <frederic@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

A bit of news after though work :)

I've been working the last 2 months with Jan Blankenhorn from 
WeigleWilczek GmBH on the initial TIG (Trade Input Gateway) BackOffice 
Connector and TOG (Trade Output Gateway) design and implementation.
I'd like here to thank WeigleWilczek for their valuable contributions to 
the project.

TIG's TOF connector source code has already been submitted to the 
Eclipse IP process several weeks ago and we are still discussing with 
Reuters to know if they allow OFMP to publish implementation code of the 
TOF protocol thru our TOF Connector.

TIG and TOG servers and connectors tests with simulators went very well. 
We will put them in production before submitting them to the IP process 
in order to respect our "field tested components" promise.

On the business side we have completed the Profit and Loss (P&L) 
analysis for Forex desk.

Forex and Money Market Position Keeping required some stabilization in 
production, it's now running smoothly, traders and users pretty much 
satisfied.

On the mid-term horizon we will release the full set of services from 
the core server as OSGi bundles services by the end of this year, using 
SpringDM for inter-bundle service dependencies.

In parallel we are working on getting rid of SLSBs EJBs in the Core 
Server as remoting technology. Tests with SpringHTTP remoting goes quite 
well so far.

For Financial libraries, we are closely monitoring Richard Gomes' job on 
JQuantlib as well as investigating interface with Reuters RFA libraries 
for real time quotation, zero coupon yield curve etc

On another side we are also currently establishing a structure to ensure 
long term support for the Eclipse OFMP project.

A lot is going on, we'll try to keep you posted more frequently in the 
future.

Sheers

Frederic
