Dear GRAAPians, as you might probably already have seen two documents of the group have been published as GFDs two weeks ago: GFD.192 which obsoletes the WS-Agreement spec document GFD.107 The normative part of GFD.107 is unchanged but a number of typos and formatting inconsistencies, which have been reported since the document was published in 2007 have been fixed in the non-normative part. GFD.193 WS-Agreement Negotiation is the proposed recommendation for extended negotiation capabilities on top of WS-Agreement. As I wrote in my last mail the group is currently working on the specification of a RESTful rendering for WS-Agreement. We are currently aware of three different approaches: HLRS Stuttgart and Technical University of Dortmund. If you know about other ongoing work or plan something yourself please let the group know. We will set up a wiki-page with information on these implementations. Also, if you plan to implement WS-Agreement Negotiation please let us know. We plan to maintain a list of implementations similar to that for WS-Agreement. Besides being useful for others (WS-Agreement has now received some interest in the Cloud environment) this list will help us when preparing the experience document within the next two years.
