Announcing a newly published Informational document in the GGF document series: Title: Configuration Description, Deployment, and Lifecycle Management (CDDLM) Foundation Document Author/editor: D. Bell et al. GFD #: GFD-I.050 Download link: http://www.ggf.org/ggf_docs_final.htm Abstract: Successful realization of the Grid vision of a broadly applicable and adopted framework for distributed system integration, virtualization, and management requires the support for configuring Web services, their deployment, and maintaining their lifecycle management. This document, produced by the CDDLM working group within the Global Grid Forum (GGF), provides a high level overview of the CDDLM space by describing requirements, analyzing use cases, and by providing an overview of the related work within GGF, other standard bodies, as well as in industry and academia in general. The document sets the stage for the follow-up documents that will present in more detail the language, component model, and basic CDDLM services. -- Greg Newby (GGF Editor)
