Hi Philippe et al.,
I have spent some time looking over the document that you linked below. I agree with Andy that congratulations are in order.
Thank you.
In this paper, you have identified and proposed workable solutions for several areas in which the OCCI Platform model as currently published was just a starting point, and have gone further by implementing and making available tools through the OCCIware project.
Yes we do.
From an OGF and community point of view, the natural question would seem to be whether some of these concepts can be formalized through a revision or new derivative document to replace the existing one (https://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.227.pdf) that can serve as a basis for further enhancing the OCCI specification set. There could be other documents in he set that need updating or revision based on practical experience.
I propose to revise the OCCI Platform document in order to integrate the notion of PlacementLink (or any other name), the extended state machine we proposed in our ModMaCAO paper and Pierre-Yves Gibello's revision proposal. I could do this job only from March. What do you think about this proposal?
A related question would be whether meetings of the OCCI-WG, virtual or real, would be useful to explore your work and these concepts in more detail, as well as other practical results from the OCCIware project and other implementations.
Definitely yes we should organize virtual or physical meetings to share results and prepare OCCI 1.3 or 2.0.
I note in passing that all of the current OCCi v1.2 documents are still in a proposed recommendation (P-REC) state, and that to advance from this to the full recommendation (REC) state, what is needed is agreement from within the working group that this is desired, plus at least two implementations for each specification and passage of an amount of time that is now smaller than the age of these documents. It would be a service to the community to clean up any current problems within this generation of specifications and get them to advance to the stage of full RECs. (Note that this does not preclude a future version that goes beyond the current state.)

Hi,
We are pleased to announce that our recent paper "Model-Driven Configuration Management of Cloud Applications with OCCI" was accepted at the 8th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER'18).
Title: Model-Driven Configuration Management of Cloud Applications with OCCI
Abstract: To tackle the cloud-provider lock-in, the Open Grid Forum (OGF) is developing the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI), a standardized interface for managing any kind of cloud resources. Besides the OCCI Core model, which defines the basic modeling elements for cloud resources, the OGF also defines extensions that reflect the requirements of different cloud service levels, such as IaaS and PaaS. However, so far the OCCI PaaS extension is very coarse grained and lacks of supporting use cases and implementations. Especially, it does not define how the components of the application itself can be managed. In this paper, we present a model-driven framework that extends the OCCI PaaS extension and is able to use different configuration management tools to manage the whole lifecycle of cloud applications. We demonstrate the feasibility of the approach by presenting four different use cases and prototypical implementations for three different configuration management tools.
