Hi, And now for something slightly different. OGSA-BES-WG decided to use CIM to model the container, and we have to work on the semantics (choosing what to include from CIM) and the rendering (how we show that). We will use the Resource Management (RM) teleconference as a way to join the CIM experts and the related OGSA-BES participants to discuss the details. Examples of things to discuss: - Do we choose the container properties by CIM classes or by CIM property? What do do if a property in a class has nothing to do with the container? - How to render these classes and properties so that they can be accessed? - What are the properties of a container? Jobs? Operating system? Host information such as CPU architecture? - How this relates to the short-term milestone of showing JSIM attributes? This teleconference will be an important synchronization point between OGSA-BES and the RM design team, and a golden opportunity to get lots of questions on CIM answered. On the other hand, we won't have time to discuss the CIM-GLUE-JSDL comparision in this teleconference.
