Although the automatic flow control and network infrastructure is
almost fully implemented, a final effort needs to be done in this
area. When this infrastructure is completely finished it will also
be promoted as the preferred way of working and a few things will
have to change in the Processing repository. The main actions that
need to be taken or missing features are:
- Full-featured Network Editor: CLAM's Rappid Prototyping tool. Until
now the Network Editor was only capable of including simple time-domain
Processing objects. The goal is to be able to include all sort of
Processing objects. More precisely, the Network Editor should be capable
of reproducing the SMS Analysis/Synthesis Algorithm including intermediate
transformations.
- Use of Automated Flow features in the Manual Mode. Many of the new
features introduced in the Automated Flow will make the life of CLAM
users easier even if they are using the Manual Flow. We intend to
promote their usage.
- Use Ports. Instead of declaring intermediate data objects and passing
them as arguments of the Do operation, it is much easier to use Ports
to connect Processing objects in between them.
