Project 006 - Researching Feasibility of SrrTrains/Fiat A

Research Feasibility of the SrrTrains / Fiat A Project

Goal

The Fiat A Project had been outlined at the S&P-ARK repository on GitHub: Hobby Report 013 "The Decision"

Now is the time to research, whether that project can be somehow a part of the agenda of The Society

Results

Findings by March 8th, 2025

The following figure explains the connections of my old projects, in particular the SrrTrains v0.01 project and the S&P-ARK project, that had been started and processed, before the founding of The Society.

Figure 1

SrrTrains v0.01 and in particular its release "Fiat A" have not yet been finished.

Due to several reasons, I will come to the conclusion they are not suitable as projects for The Society, in particular at the time being.

I will explain to the other members of The Society, the project S&P-ARK (Simple Playground for Achieving Required Knowledge) could be suitable, on the other hand.

I will report about the outcome, here on this page.

Conclusions, by Mar 17th, 2025

The PROs and CONs of the SrrTrains v0.01 project, if we adopted it for implementation and testing at The Society, would display as follows.

The PROs and CONs of the concrete Release Fiat A, if we adopted it for implementation and testing at The Society, would display as follows.

The S&P-ARK Project has real chances to be adopted by The Society, as it is drawn in the following Figure 4.

Decision at chat hour 2/2025: start with "Open Source Conferencing Tool".

A Vision of ALPES (2025-03-22)

The VISION is to start with the setup of ALPES ( > 2030).

Therefore I will establish the GOAL ( ~2028 ) to continue with the Simple DIS Experiments and to do first experiments with SMUoS.

As a side effect, I would like to implement the "Open Source Conferencing Tool" (OSC/AR).
