OCCI 1.2
by Andy Edmonds 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi all, There has been significant work in preparation to OCCI 1.2. Some of you may have noticed this on the repository [1], if not you can easily see the updates with a "git log" command. To date there has been mostly structural changes with additional contributions that will maintain backward compatibility. The plan is to release the documents for public comment by Wednesday the 18th of March and so it would be great if folk had time to review all or parts of the specification set. Thanks!

Fwd: [DistComp] Second call for Book Chapter proposals and book chapters for the book titled "Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud Architectures"
by Sill, Alan 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Dear OCCI WG members, Please take note of the call below. Alan Begin forwarded message: From: Gabor Kecskemeti <kecskemeti.gabor(a)sztaki.mta.hu<mailto:kecskemeti.gabor@sztaki.mta.hu>> Date: February 12, 2015 at 12:55:37 PM CST To: <distributed-computing-announce(a)datasys.cs.iit.edu<mailto:distributed-computing-announce@datasys.cs.iit.edu>> Subject: [DistComp] Second call for Book Chapter proposals and book chapters for the book titled "Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud Architectures" Call for Book Chapter proposals and book chapters for the book titled "Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud Architectures". Overview ======= Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud systems allow the dynamic creation, destruction and management of Virtual Machines (VM) on virtualized clusters. IaaS clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to the end user that allows the creation of on-demand services through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. The increasing range of choices and availability of IaaS toolkits has also allowed creation of cloud solutions and frameworks suitable for private deployment and practical use even on smaller scales. As a result, many academic infrastructure service providers have started transitions to add cloud resources to their previously existing campus and shared grid deployments. To complete such solutions, they should also support the unification of multiple cloud and/or cloud and grid solutions in a seamless, preferably interoperable way. Hybrid, community or multi-clouds may utilize more than one cloud systems, which are also called as cloud federations. The management of such federations raise several challenges and open issues that require significant research work to be done in this area. This book will provide a dedicated forum for sharing the latest results, exchanging ideas and experiences, presenting new research, development and deployment efforts in developing and running interoperable, federated IaaS cloud systems. This book will be an excellent venue to help the community define the current state, determine further goals and present architectures and service frameworks to achieve highly interoperable federated cloud infrastructures. The book will focus on presenting solutions to interoperability and efficient management challenges faced by current and future infrastructure clouds. The book will document and present measured comparisons or practical information on realistic, real-world solutions. Objectives ========= The more widespread cloud computing technologies are, the more likely people will face the interoperability issues when several cloud infrastructures must be used in parallel. So, the book should be well suited to the practicioners who utilize cloud infrastructures and they would like to avoid lock in issues or to increase the reliability of their virtual infrastructures. On the other hand, with the raise of private cloud infrastructures, hybrid clouds, cloud bursting technologies and partial outsourcing solutions planned to be offered in the book will aid the private infrastructure providers to help efficiently dealing with temporal under-provisioning situations Target Audience ======== This book, Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud Architectures, is aimed at people involved in any aspects of cloud practices such as infrastructure cloud administrators, cloud developers and cloud users. Furthermore, as opposed to “general” cloud related books, this book's specific focus on cloud federation aims at readers with specific interest in topics not addressed elsewhere such as federation policies, energy awareness, federation use cases, legal aspects of federation, scheduling and interoperability. Topic coverage: ======= Case studies of interoperable and federated solutions across multiple infrastructures Application programming interfaces and standards for interoperability and federation Practical experiences in increased energy-efficiency of interclouds and federations Federation, inter- and multi-cloud compatible service agreements, SLAs and quality of service systems Virtual machine scheduling, management and deployment algorithms in interoperable and federated cloud systems (considering multi objective solutions, energy efficiency etc.) Federation and interoperability challenges in mixed grid and cloud systems Accounting and identity management solutions that support federation-level models Legal issues and data privacy in federated Cloud management Security problems, considerations and solutions for hybrid mixed public/private clouds Performance evaluation, prediction and comparison across multiple federated cloud systems Scalability issues and comparisons of different cloud federation approaches Storage management, focusing on interoperability and multi cloud placement Novel IaaS architectures incorporating federative constructs in their foundations Virtual appliance marketplaces and repositories meeting the demands and serving multi-cloud systems Cloud federation-aware Big Data management solutions New use cases to support workflow systems in multi-clouds and in federative contexts (predictive VM scheduling, advanced reservation etc.) Submission Procedure ======= Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February 28, 2015, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors will be notified by March 30, 2015 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by May 30, 2015. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Notes: There are no submission or acceptance fees for manuscripts submitted to this book publication, Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud Architectures. All manuscripts are accepted based on a double-blind peer review editorial process. References within each chapter must be in APA style or the chapter will be returned to the book editor for correction. LaTEX files cannot be accepted. Further details for authors: http://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/ All proposals should be submitted through the following link: http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/submit/1578 About the 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.

Quick update on the status of the document.
by Metsch, Thijs 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hi all, Andy and I will handle the process of pushing the next round of document through the editor process. There are some minor changes in progress on some of the docs which will hopefully be fixed soon. As discussed in Oxford, the idea is to post the documents together as a rev 1.2 as there are several interdependences in them - rev 1.2 will include: core, http protocol rendering, text rendering, json rendering, infrastructure, platform, sla, notification and monitoring. If you have any question - feel free to contact Andy or myself directly.

Status of JSDL Rendering
by Andre Merzky 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hi OCCI-WG, we wonder what the stats of the JSDL Rendering document is. It is out of public comment for quite a while now -- is there still active work going on? Anything we can help with? Best, Andre/GFSG -- It was a sad and disappointing day when I discovered that my Universal Remote Control did not, in fact, control the Universe. (Not even remotely.)

Procedure to request demos at the GEC 22 / US INSPIRE / OGF 43 + GLIF event
by Sill, Alan 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Dear OGF groups in the Infrastructure area, There will be demo opportunities available at the GEC 22 + OGF 43 event. Please see the information below regarding how to request a demo and how these will fit into the overall agenda. If you are interested in giving a demo outside of this opportunity at a Meetup or Cloud Plugfest, or as part of an OGF session, please also let me know and I will convey this to the organizers of those events. The main focus of the GEC22 demos is on direct networking topics, whereas those in the latter categories can be of broader interest. Thanks, Alan (for the OGF events team) -------------------- Begin forwarded message: Hi Alan, The demo is at GW, http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC22Agenda. There wil be max of 55 demos (GENI and US-Ignite) and we are still waiting for demo proposal to come in so we can do the review and do the final selection. If there is any interest in doing a demo, here is the link. http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GECDemoSubmission Cheers, Henry
