Nate: Started implementing the naming and lookup functionality of MB++ based on Rendezvous/Bonjour from Apple.
- Q(uestion): Do we need some resources, for example, to host a server?
- A(nswer): Yes and No. If we embed the Rendezvous functionality inside the MB++ executables, we don't. But it might be better if the functionality is pre-installed on a host where the MB++ accesses it through a thin library. In that case, we need.
- C(omment): Let's check computers settled in TSRB basement.
- C: Other than Rendezvous, we have several options for implementing this; they include Service Lookup Protocol (SLP) and Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP).
Eric: (We have not been able to assign any implementation work to him due to the delay of API specification.)
Bin: Doing API specification work on MB++ transformers. We need to support various feature extracters such as one that uses 10 minutes of video frames in a single video stream, compare video frames from multiple video stream, and multiplexes multiple different types of streams.
- C: You can achieve a nice control from the automatic garbage collection mechanism in Stampede.
Jin: Doing API specification work on MB++ producers and consumers.

Nate: Continue working on the implementation.
Eric: Be familiar with D-Stampede idea, functionalities, and APIs.
Bin and Jin: Continue working on the specification. Expected to done in 1-2 weeks.
