color:#1F497D'>The complex element AvailableResources (a term that needs some definition)
is in the inherited ServiceDescription element group. I can see that, when in the
description of a service, it applies to the resources available to that
service. I agree that these does not include resources available for just one
job. It is not clear to me that this would not include resources provided
through the Resource Service if they are persistent. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>When applied in a System context, what is included depends upon
how the information is to be used. English usage gets a little muddy
relative to strict logic usage with words such as “any” vs “all”
. Your “any” response to question 2 suggests to me that even if a resource
is available to only one service, it is included as a system element. This
might be useful in an accounting sense, but one still needs to view the Service
AvailableResources to see what can be used on a job. On the other hand, if the element
includes resources available to all supported services, this identifies resources
that can be used on any job, although perhaps not all. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>But I am still puzzled by AvailableResources under Server as
well as under System. At the present time there is no Subunit complex
element under System. Each service does include a Configuration complex
element that identifies the subunits used by the service. The Subunits under Server
presumably include all of the subunits constituting the device. Similarly, the AvailableResources
under Server would include all AvailableResources in the device. This
would be redundant with AvailableResources under SystemDescription if we take
the “any” definition considered above.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I do not see the function of such redundancy. I think the
concept of the System is evolving. In some cases, as it SystemStatus, the System
values appear to represent the entire device. In others, such as OperationsSupported,
we consider the System as a distinct entity with its own special operations.
Perhaps System AvailableResources should identity just those resources used by
the system as a distinct functional entity? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Hi Bill,</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>According to my
understanding,</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1. Yes, we
agreed to change ResourceSupported to AvailableResources in System.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>2. AvailableResources
contains permanently installed resources readily available to the MFD system,
as compared to those needed to be downloaded using Resource Service. I would
say these are available to any supported service in the device.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3.
AvailableResources complex element used to be under Server but not in System.
We have just started to define AvailableResources in System which actually has
the same semantics. So these two are redundant. But I think it's useful to
retain it in Server to serve as the base class for AvailableResources in
System. The relationship between the AvailableResources under Server and that
under System is just like the relationship between the Subunits element under
Server and the Subunits under the System.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Pete said he
will make sure we got the semantic right after the meeting. But he is out these
days, we should double check with him in the next teleconference for the
correct semantics.</span> <br>
