(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.4323) Requirements for the CAF TR

[John Reid]

WG5,

With the help of Bill Long, Reinhold Bader, Jim Xia, and Bob Numrich, I have 
constructed a draft paper on requirements for the TR of further coarray 
features, which is attached.

Our starting point for this TR is Resolution LV5 of the WG5 meeting in Las 
Vegas, Feb. 2008:
"That WG5 declares that the content of the Technical Report on Enhanced Coarray 
Facilities in Fortran is as shown in document J3/08-131r1. Further, WG5 expects 
the TR to be published during the second quarter of 2011."

At the WG5 meeting in Las Vegas, Feb. 2008, the target date for publication was 
changed to November 2012 (see resolution LV5 and document N1812). There has been 
no formal WG5 discussion since 2008 on the technical content, but an informal 
view has gathered that we should not stick rigidly to what we had in 2008. We 
need to have a full discussion of this at the meeting next June. N1835 is a 
first attempt at a "requirements document" that can inform this discussion.

Would anyone else like to contribute at this time? Responses to any of the 
proposals in the current version are welcome, too. I would like to issue the 
final version of this paper quite soon, but expect it to be superseded by new 
papers in the months ahead before we meet, so there is no immediate hurry.

With best wishes,

John.
