Hi all, We've discussed that we would like to prepare an abstract for the TERENA conference next year. The deadline for the extended abstracts (600-1200 words) is November 30th. I promised to write a structure for this abstract. I was thinking something like the following: Title: The Network Markup Language 1. Introdcution (general idea, bit of history, current status) 2. Schema Explanation (short description of the schema) 3. Use-Cases of NML 3.1 Supporting Network Monitoring (Application in PerfSonar?) 3.2 Supporting Network Provisioning (Application in NSI) Other use-cases? 4. Future Work (describe briefly plans for the future of NML) Who would like to contribute? What would you like to contribute on? Is there something missing in this structure that you think should be there? Jeroen.

Jeroen, I like to contribute. My first question is if you like to focus on the standardization effort or the actual usage. The actual usage is yet slim, but it getting there. Second, do you like to turn this is in a full paper? In my experience 600-1200 words is so little you hardly have space to write any substantial like the above outline suggests. (though you can of course indicate that the actual paper will have this outline). Freek

I would like to focus on the effort and draw attention to the fact that we have a the document ready (by TERENA).
Second, do you like to turn this is in a full paper? In my experience 600-1200 words is so little you hardly have space to write any substantial like the above outline suggests. (though you can of course indicate that the actual paper will have this outline).
Turning it into a full paper would probably be a bit hard with the above focus. Although it may be something we could do for IEEE Network for example. Jeroen.

FYI, Jason is editor of a special issue of IEEE comsoc: http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag1113.htm but this is mostly about monitoring. Freek

IEEE Network mostly has tutorial like papers I think, so I think that that would be a good fit. Jeroen.

Hi, I would stress the standardisation aspect. I've updated your structure a bit adding the requirements and standardisation sections that I think it would be good to have. Just a proposal to consider. 1. Introduction (general idea, why a standardized topology desc is needed, bit of history, etc.) 2. Requirements (what the NML WG wanted to achieve: abstraction, multi-layer, multi-domain, extensions allowed, independent of the format - XML, RNC, OWL, others, etc.) 3, Schema Explanation (short description of the schema) 4. Standardisation under OGF (status and short description of OGF) 5. A use case of NML - Supporting Network Provisioning (topology in NSI) 4. Future Work (describe briefly plans for the future of NML) Cheers, Roman W dniu 2012-11-20 15:09, Jeroen van der Ham pisze:

Hi, can we agree to provide the drafts of all sections by Wed? We will have two more days for updates. What's the assignment of other parts? Roman W dniu 2012-11-21 11:21, Roman Łapacz pisze:

Yes, seems like a good idea. I can describe the use-case in NSI and also provide a description of the OGF and its standardization. So: 1. Introduction (general idea, why a standardized topology desc is needed, bit of history, etc.) 2. (RL) Requirements (what the NML WG wanted to achieve: abstraction, multi-layer, multi-domain, extensions allowed, independent of the format - XML, RNC, OWL, others, etc.) 3. (RL) Schema Explanation (short description of the schema) 4. (JH) Standardisation under OGF (status and short description of OGF) 5. (JH) A use case of NML - Supporting Network Provisioning (topology in NSI) 4. Future Work (describe briefly plans for the future of NML) Jeroen.

I'm happy to write or contribute to 1, 2, 4 and/or 6. Let me know. Which of these shall I do? I have a preference for 1, 2 and 4. Freek

1 is unclaimed so please do. 2 you can coordinate with Roman perhaps? If you can do 4 I can also do 6. Jeroen.
