XSD rendering of OCCI model(s)
by Constantinos (Costas) Kotsokalis 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Dear All, I would like to have an XSD rendering of the OCCI model(s), to embed in WS-Agreement [1]. I have found some previous work in [2], but I am not sure if this is synchronized with the latest spec draft(s) [3]. Could someone please confirm? Thank you in advance, Costas [1] http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.107.pdf [2] http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewAttachment/projects.occi-wg/wiki/NounsV… [3] http://www.ogf.org/pipermail/occi-wg/2009-November/001517.html

OCCI presentation at IGT2009 slides
by shlomo.swidler＠gmail.com 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi everyone, Last week I presented OCCI at the IGT2009 conference and participated in a short panel discussion about cloud standards, moderated by Reuven Cohen and including a representative of the Zend Simple Cloud API. Here are the slides: http://www.slideshare.net/shl0m0/igt2009-the-open-cloud-computing-interface The panel discussion touched on these three questions: 1) What is the driver for cloud standards - do businesses really want them? I said that the main driver for standardization is coming from the Government. Now that they need to buy cloud, and to define it before they can buy it, standards will be needed in order to fulfill Government purchasing requirements. 2) Why not just use the existing de-facto standards such as the EC2 API, as opposed to creating de-jure standards? I said that we need to focus on the vision: the vision is "open cloud" and a healthy ecosystem. The current de-facto standard is not compatible with that vision, since it is IP encumbered. Instead we need to push for an open standard. 3) Why don't you two guys (OCCI and Simple Cloud API) work together? I smiled, reached over, and shook the Simple Cloud API rep's hand. Shlomo

Hi @all. The use case and requirements document we push into the OGF editor pipeline has popped out of the public comment phase. So fare we got 2 comments (next to some small editorial stuff): http://www.ggf.org/gf/docs/comment.php?id=309 So I'll update the doc and after addressing the comments and changing some stuff we'll probably have our first informational document out soon.

Comments on OCCI XHTML Document
by Gary Mazz 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi, I got to start on some editorial changes to the OCCI XHTLM document. This is my quick stab at the first few paragraphs. These recommendations can be evaluated when the document is in the OGF comment pipeline. -gary *Abstract: Paragraph 1:* This document describes elements of the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) represented as an XHTML document. This document is part of the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) specification. The OCCI specification describes actions, semantics, a data representation and protocol to uniformly administer IaaS clouds over HTTP. The OCCI specification is divided into the following sections: *Abstract: Paragraph 2: *. The OCCI Core Model . The OCCI Infrastructure Model *Abstract: Paragraph 3:* The OCCI specification is configured as a document set. Each section is described in a separate specification document. All sections and the information within are mandatory for implementors (unless otherwise specified). * 1.1. Introduction: Paragraph 1: *This specification provides the normative rules and recommendations that describe the structure of the Open Cloud Computing Interface's actions, semantics, data representations and other corresponding elements as XHTML documents. This specification defines all XHTML elements relevant to representing the OCCI elements in XHTML; describes how OCCI elements are represented as XHTML document elements and defines OCCI elements are functionally equivalent with each XHTML element. The XHTML specification defines document elements, including organizations, data, meta data, and representation formats, not defined and not applicable to the OCCI specifications. All OCCI conformant implementations will adhere to the definitions prescribed in this specification. *1.2. XHTML5: Paragraph 1: (new) *XHTML5 is an XML-based "concrete syntax" of the "World Wide Web's "abstracted markup language, HTML5. The XHTML5 specification mandates syntax to be well formed significantly reducing potential for document misinterpretation. For the purposes of this specification, we limit the scope of the XHTML specifications to the "XHTML Basic document" referenced as TR/2008/REC-xhtml-basic-20080729. The XHTML Basic document type includes the minimal set of modules required to be an XHTML host language document type, and in addition it includes images, forms, basic tables, and object support. It is designed for Web clients that do not support the full set of XHTML features; for example, Web clients such as mobile phones, PDAs, pagers, and settop boxes. The document type definition is implemented using XHTML modules as defined in the W3C doument "XHTML Modularization" * *

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Chapters --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues, We would like to introduce you to a forthcoming edited book which focuses on the "Computational and Data Grids: Principles, Designs, and Applications" and to invite you to submit a chapter proposal or a paper before December 30. Please feel free to forward this message to your colleagues if any of them would be interested in this edited book. Let us know if you have any questions regarding this matter. Thanks for your consideration. Nikolaos --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR CHAPTERS Proposal Submission Deadline: -Extended- December 30, 2009 Computational and Data Grids: Principles, Designs, and Applications A book edited by Dr.Nikolaos Preve National Technical University of Athens, Greece To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=748 Introduction Grid computing is the next generation information technology infrastructure that promises to transform the way organizations and individuals compute, communicate and collaborate. Grid computing is an evolution of distributed computing and it refers to a large-scale high-performance computing which combines distributed heterogeneous computing resources and the result is a unique large virtual supercomputer with a vast amount of shared processing power and data storage. Considering the enormous amount of these underutilized computing resources, the necessity of a grid infrastructure is compulsory. A computational grid provides access to users who want to utilize the shared processing resources in order to efficiently apply high throughput applications on distributed machines. The second most common shared resource used in a grid is data storage and it is known as data grid. This type of grid provides distributed storage capacity such as attached memory to the processor, hard disk drives or other types of permanent storage. Grid computing can assist grid users in order to utilize to the maximum computing resources by applying tasks and solving a scientific or technical problem that requires a great number of computer processing cycles or the need to process large amounts of data. Objective of the Book This book aims to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and will cover the latest empirical research findings in the area of grid computing. The goal of this book is to represent theoretical frameworks, methodologies, implementations, and cutting edge research findings with a critical perspective bridging the gap between academia and the latest achievements of the computer industry. It will be written for professionals, as well as students, who are involved or interested in the study, use, design, and development of grid computing and want to improve and empower their understanding of it. Also, this book aims to help researchers and developers understand the basics of the field, to highlight the various developments over the years in the field by giving an in depth analysis of grid networks. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals, engineers, researchers and students who are interested and working in the field of grid computing. Moreover, the book will provide insights and can serve as both literature at an undergraduate level and as an overview of the area. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.Theories, definitions, methodologies, models, applications, simulations, and architectures relevant to grid computing 2.Implementations of computational grids, data grids, sensor and mobile grids 3.Grid data storage, grid databases, data management, and data mining 4.Indexing and query optimization over grid databases 5.Grid middleware 6.Web services 7.Security, cryptography, and cryptanalysis 8.Artificial intelligence 9.Algorithms 10.Scheduling, resource management, and optimization 11.Workflow and fault tolerance 12.Programming in grid computing 13.Cloud computing and grids 14.Grid computing in scientific problems (i.e. astrophysics, chemistry, economy and finance, electromagnetics, geophysics, meteorology, numerical analysis, statistics) Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 30, 2009, a 1-2 page chapter clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. We also highly encourage early full chapter submissions. Please include the title of the book in the subject line of your e-mail. Authors will be notified by January 15, 2010 about the status of their proposals and will be sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by March 31, 2010 or earlier. All submitted chapters must not have been published elsewhere and will undergo a double-blind peer review by at least two referees. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference,” “Business Science Reference,” and “Engineering Science Reference” imprints.
