Meeting minutes:\\
Wednesday October 6, 1999\\
5:30pm - 6:30 pm\\

Participants:\\
Martin Casado, Noel Keen\\

Topics:\\
\begin{itemize}
\item Decided not to support hydro particles within PPF.
\item Clarified client base of who will be using PPF.  Clients will
be developers working on radiation Monte Carlo particle physics packages.
\item Discussed  methods of collaboration for requirements, concluded that I
will send a list of questions to Noel via email in which he will respond
to the best of his ability.
\item Went over the basic problem definition, and fundamentals of the 
implications of parallelizing Monte Carlo, radiation physics problems. 
\item Decided that general support of all meshes may be to involved for
this particular project and we should focus our efforts on Polymesh 1 or 2. 
\item Decided that general domain decomposition is not a focus of the project
but may be implemented at a later time.
\item Discussed the possibility of creating a network analyzer to 
determine performance of MPI aided communication between nodes.
\end{itemize}

Next meeting will revolve around solidifying requirements of the PPF
to help in the creation of the Requirements section of the proposal.
