Roadmap

This roadmap keeps ARSVIN focused as an IEC 61850 Sampled Values Publisher, Subscriber, and evidence workbench.

Completed work belongs in CHANGELOG.md. This document lists future priorities and claim boundaries.

Near term

  • Keep current-license, provenance, terminology, site, build, test, packaging, and release gates green.
  • Expand malformed-frame, VLAN, quality, nofASDU, sample-counter, SCL, COMTRADE, and PCAP regression fixtures.
  • Add more independently sourced or synthetic evidence packages with documented provenance.
  • Improve SCL error messages, dataset mapping diagnostics, and configuration-versus-wire findings.
  • Expand keyboard, scaling, accessibility, and long-session UI validation.
  • Add clearer runtime evidence labels for automated tests, loopback, laboratory equipment, and approved commissioning environments.
  • Audit release archives for required GPL, commercial, copyright, trademark, third-party, and historical-boundary documents.

Publisher priorities

  • Extend per-phase scenario modelling and reusable timeline editing.
  • Add additional harmonic, DC-offset, clipping, and transient approximations for controlled laboratory streams.
  • Improve timing-health evidence while preserving the explicit non-deterministic Windows scheduling boundary.
  • Add headless dry-run, validation, PCAP generation, and report-generation workflows.
  • Improve multi-stream resource and adapter diagnostics.

Subscriber priorities

  • Add PCAPNG import.
  • Add manual stream definitions when SCL is unavailable.
  • Improve cursor and measurement interaction in waveform views.
  • Add per-stream CSV waveform export.
  • Expand IEC 61869-9-oriented dataset presentation only where requirements and evidence are documented.
  • Improve traffic continuity, duplicate, reordering, rate-change, and payload-layout diagnostics.

Shared-engine priorities

  • Maintain protocol, SCL, profile, comparison, capture, and transport logic in ARSVIN.Engine.
  • Expand deterministic tests for live-capture abstractions, scheduling boundaries, and transport failure recovery.
  • Keep profile detection evidence-aware and prevent sparse observations from producing unqualified confirmation.
  • Preserve unknown and unsupported traffic as observable evidence rather than silently normalizing it.
  • Maintain locked dependencies, SBOM generation, and third-party notices.

Public credibility priorities

  • Keep README, landing page, generated documentation, release notes, and application wording aligned with implemented behavior.
  • Maintain actual application screenshots and project-owned artwork.
  • Publish known limitations and evidence scope beside download links.
  • Add Authenticode signing when a trusted certificate and operational signing process are available.
  • Maintain GPL-3.0-or-later as the only current community license and clearly separate historical grants from later releases.
  • Review contributor rights, employment obligations, private artifacts, and trademarks before high-value commercial or OEM transactions.

Out of scope without a separately evidenced project decision

  • Formal IEC 61850 conformance certification.
  • Calibrated analog-source or protection-test-set replacement.
  • Deterministic real-time or functional-safety claims.
  • Cybersecurity certification.
  • Production substation network operation without explicit authority and an approved operational process.
  • Proof that an IED consumed or acted on a multicast stream.
  • Unqualified universal interoperability claims.
  • Feature parity, branding, UI imitation, or report imitation based on unrelated proprietary products.
