Dear all,

the OCCI-monitoring document (https://www.writelatex.com/26835vgbcrc) is in public review since mid-december, and untouched. So I think it's time to freeze it (following Alan suggestion) as an intermediate revision of a future document. I'd like to open a discussion about it, so that it can be checked-in during the first days of February.
Topics are:

-) Type of document we aim to (white paper, recommendation, specification), of which this one will be an initial revision;
-) Formatting (standard, free);
-) Authors

I wait for your valuable opinions...

Thank you for your attention

Augusto

Dear all,

following the extremely fruitful meeting in Zurich, here is the revision of the proposed document. A few anticipations about the content:

• the concepts are always the same: abstraction from short-lived details using mixins, extract/aggregate/publish pipe for the measurements
• the syntax is different: I tried to make it simpler and more powerful: only 2 kinds in the model (one resource and one link), but the monitoring infrastructure may be hierarchical from 0 to n levels
• a section about conformance levels has been added: the monitoring API is optional, so we need to define a level 0 to avoid confusion. The other two levels corresponds to the capability of creating user mixins (level 2) or not (level 1)
• there is a detailed example of a simple case using an HTTP rendering
  

You can directly interact with the LaTeX document if you like, though the pdf is attached as well.

The LaTeX document is available on a specific collaboration platform: www.writeLatex.com. It is possible to update the document, but I ask you to follow these simple instruction, to avoid to lose the control of the document. If you want to add a note, please use the \rem command, whose usage is described by the following example:

\rem{Augusto Ciuffoletti}{My comment goes here}

placed near the sentence you want to comment. A footnote will be generated ("My comment goes here"), signed with your id ("Augusto Ciuffoletti").

You can access the document here https://www.writelatex.com/26835vgbcrc without authentication needed. The browser window is divided into two parts: on one side you can edit the source, on the other you see the updated document view. You can also download the pdf or a zip of the current state of the document. There is no "revision history", so it is impossible to "undo" a change.
