Integrated Console

[Colin.Haxton () arena co nz (Colin Haxton)]

It's been good to see a lot of the software creators participating so
actively in the list so I have a few questions to throw in.

There are now a range of IDS products available (or soon to be) and the
focus, for an end user of these systems, will be coming on to the user
interface.  It is possible (dare I say probable) that 'the user' will be
implementing more that one sensor or sensor technology.

My questions are
1.  to what degree are software manufacturers adhering to
standards/conventions that may allow for the realistic integration of a
single management console and multiple (diverse vendors) sensors ?

2.  what is happening with CIDF/CISL standards ?  Are they no-go'ers, too
hard or just wrong ?

Regards,

Colin
