The parameter allows clients to understand how long the decision process (accept or reject the tasking request) might take. provides the outcome of the tasking request serves as the super class for all tasking requests such as GetFeasibility, Reserve, Submit and Update requests unknown Pointer to the procedure that is to be tasked. parameter values required to task the sensor Point in time at which the definite decision about the tasking request (the requested tasking action being accepted or rejected) has to be provided by the SPS. stores (tasking) parameter values and a description of the encoding being used description of the encoding used to encode the given values block of values encoded as specified by the encoding (description) Tasking request was accepted; this is a final state for a tasking request. Tasking request is pending. Tasking request was rejected; this is a final state for a tasking request. Task was cancelled; this code identifies a subcategory of the final state in the task state machine. Task was completed as planned; this code identifies a subcategory of the final state in the task state machine. Task reservation expired; this code identifies a subcategory of the final state in the task state machine. Task failed; this code identifies a subcategory of the final state in the task state machine. Task is executed by the service. Task is reserved at the service. New data was published for a task that is 'InExecution'. A reserved task has expired (the expiration time set by the service is before now - "now" being the time measured by the service). A scheduled task has been cancelled. A task that was 'InExecution' was completed as planned.<b> </b>Implies that all data gathered for the task has been published. A reserved task was confirmed. A scheduled task has failed. A pending tasking request has expired. A task was reserved. A task was submitted. A task was updated.
