** REMINDER: Special SAJACC group call Tuesday March 29, 3:00 pm EDT / 2:00 pm CDT / 12:00 noon PDT ** ---------- Dear NIST SAJACC working group members and related groups, You are invited to attend a SAJACC group meeting to discuss comparisons of the OCCI version 1.1 and CIMI v1.2 standards-based API call sequences and OpenStack native API conducted by Mahesh Gurram. This comparison has been carried out using the methodologies resulting in Phase I and Phase II of the SAJACC project and could serve as a pilot and example for future tests of cloud services, standards and API comparisons using the SAJACC use case documentation methods. Mahesh has conducted this work as part of a Masters Degree project at Texas Tech University, with the hope that it will serve as a template for future work going forward. The meeting will take place Tuesday, March 29 at 3:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time. Join by Skype for Business at https://meet.ttu.edu/alan.sill/GUOS7M0P (Note the first round character in this sequence is an O as in "oh", and the second one is a zero.) Select the "join as guest" option and type your name to enter in order to see the slides. Or join by phone +1 (855) 834-4888 - Toll-free Conference ID: 8519016 Depending on interest from the group, the testbeds being used to conduct these comparisons can be made available for further similar SAJACC testing. We will discuss the technologies used for this work being made available by the National Science Foundation through its CloudLab and Chameleon projects and the NIST-oriented public work being conducted by the NSF Cloud and Autonomic Computing Center on behalf of NIST and other center members. Please join early if you can in order to establish the Skype for Business web connection.
