[jsdl-wg] (Param Sweep) - New tracker items

[geoff]

Hi all,

I've added a couple of new artifacts (hope nobody minds me doing this) 
related to parameter sweep:

artf6183 : loop over decimal / float values

   Apparently there's been prior discussion and disagreement on this 
functionality yet I can find no evidence of it. Could those involved 
summarise what discussions took place and the conclusions reached please 
- or a pointer to where this is all documented.

artf6184 : loop function naming

   Currently the draft defines the "Loop" element, which gives no 
indication of the type, e.g. integer, decimal, being looped. As 
non-integer types may arrive, with potentially type-specific 
requirements, should we rename "Loop" to "LoopInteger"?

artf6185 : Schema representation for "any non-zero value" for a type

   For use as the step attribute type for a looping element perhaps?


If any of the above are of interest to anybody then comments would be 
welcome.


I've also tried to establish contact with the Nimrod developers as they 
have experience on the requirements of sweeping and so may be interested 
in contributing to the process based on their "plan file" work. I'll add 
the outcome in due course.

Regards,

gef
