Attached is a two page ppt. The first modifies Tomohiro's a little - and uses names from Joan. The main modification other than names is that it removes the capability advertisement module. The idea is that a single module provides "services" which may be called from outside or integrated in the actor itself. We need to describe what these services do for the Actor, but not how they do it. In my mind these are services that Chin has started to enumerate (except the resource coordination module). The Aggregation/ coordination module in the pic is Chin's coordination and Tomohiro' aggregation module -- I think they are the same. -- any thoughts? The second shows resource delegation of authority (for a particular resource. Note that the local RMM agent is the ultimate authority for resources controlled by the RMM. Given that the RMM agent is part of the Actor, the Actor is the ultimate authority for all resources controlled by the RMM. Resources requested by the NSI are delegated from the remote NSA and may be redelegated (along with the local resources) to a requesting agent. This, btw, is very similar if not identical to what in my understanding the ORCA and GENI frameworks do. -- thoughts or questions?
