Hi Jens, This sounds good to me. Wolfgang Ziegler and I talked briefly about upcoming opportunities and think that the EGI event makes more sense for OGF to pursue than either the CAC (Boston September 2015) or UCC (Cyprus Dec. 2015) conferences at this time, although OGF does co-sponsor the AMGCC’15 workshop. Perhaps we can advertise these other events as opportunities at which interested OGF groups might meet, and encourage a larger gathering at the the EGI event. It would be good, however, this time to make sure that the OGF plenary talks and other portions of the program are better integrated into the main EGI program than they were last time. By the way, the update that I delivered on OGF progress at the NIST event this week (their cloud computing forum and workshop VIII) was very well received, and I got many positive comments from people about OGF’s approach and progress. Perhaps we can put together a short list of upcoming OGF group meeting opportunities to be posted on the web site and on the OGF calendar there? Response from the OCCI WG about meeting in Bari in November for the EGI forum would be useful, to be able to plan ahead of time.

The security groups could overlap with what the AARC project will be proposing (which in turn overlaps with some of the EGI stuff), but I am unsure of what the remaining groups in OGF are planning (or would be planning if they were planning). It doesn't matter so much now except that we need to know roughly how much time and how many rooms we need and then roughly the classification of topics. > > I was planning to request 2 days, with two parallel tracks, and then tick the boxes for "community engagement and innovation", "data and computing", "identity provisioning" and "open science commons" (leaving only the VRE box unchecked).

Thought you would be interested in the following link to the video of the talk that I gave at the NIST Cloud Computing Forum and Workshop VIII in Gaithersburg, Maryland about a month ago describing OGF and introducing OCCI v1.2. Comments are welcome. On the current document set, how is the status after conclusion of public comments?

New paper on OCCI Monitoring
by AUGUSTO CIUFFOLETTI 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

I'm happy to announce the forthcoming publication of a paper based on occi-monitoring (as defined in the informational doc which was on public review in June). The self-explanatory title is: "Automated deployment of a microservice-based monitoring infrastructure" For those interested, there is a preliminary version available on Research Gate (link [1]) All the best Augusto Links: ------ [1] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281200474_Automated_deployment_of_…

FYI This and the other co-located workshop on cloud federation organized by Craig Lee and David Bernstein also at the UCC 2015 conference may be of interest. If there is interest in holding a Cloud Plugfest also at this conference in this timeframe, please let me know ASAP. Of course we encourage papers and presentations about OCCI and its uses in the field in various projects and products at all of these opportunities.

Selected (extended) papers should be invited to submit to a high quality Journal special issue. ************************************************************************* DESCRIPTION Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications are currently hot topics and have been generating substantial interest in the community and it is anticipated that this interest will expand. It is also important to the research community as it is challenging traditional methods by its sheer size and high level of automation. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those clouds are accessed through virtualized wide area networks. Management systems are essential for that and thereby for the future success of the cloud paradigm. New systems, methods, and approaches for cloud, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussed at this workshop. For the CloudAM 2015 workshop, researchers from the Clouds and (eScience) Applications communities are encouraged to submit and present original work to be considered for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Cloud computing environments - Cloud service orchestration - Cloud APIs and usage control - Cloud data management - Cloud scalable monitoring - Cloud load balancing - Cloud federation management - Customer cloud management - Managing data centers - Management as a service - Management of virtual slices - IaaS Management - Application and Management Portals - Cloud Scheduling - Hybrid Clouds - Accounting and economic models for clouds - Management of virtualized hardware resources - Managing cloud services - Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud access - Performance modeling and evaluation - QoS/QoE management in the cloud - Management tools for infrastructure virtualization - Automated resource slicing - Integration of the wireless and optical domains - Policy driven service/resource life-cycle management - Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure - Optimization of data center and workload energy consumption - Green Cloud Computing - Scientific Workflows on Clouds ************************************************************************* WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Bruno Schulze - LNCC, BR Luiz Bittencourt - UNICAMP, BR Rafael Tolosana-Calasanz - Unizar, ES TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (to be confirmed) David Abramson - Univ.

Typed Link Kind
by Jean Parpaillon 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi all, With Olivier Barais, in CC, with which I am working on the OCCIware project, we would like to enhance the core specification with a way to constrain the Category of resources pointed out by occi.core.src and occi.core.target attributes of a link. For instance, in the infrastructure extension, while it is specified (and easily make sense) a NetworkInterface link must be linked to a compute and a network instance, there is no formal way to define this constraint. A proposal would be to add new type of Category, sub-type of Kind, with following attributes: - parent: instantiated as http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/core#link - occi.core.src.type: additional attribute, type category id - occi.core.target.type: additional attribute, type category id The name of this type of Category could be "TypedLinkKind". What do you think of this ?
