[Nsi-wg] Full paper on NSI for TNC12 conference

[Radek Krzywania]

Dear all,
I couldn’t manage to join recent VC due to some unexpected reasons. Anyway thanks a lot for contributions offers. According to your preferences I propose the following assignments:
Chapter 1 - Problem statement
- I will write a few words of introduction. 
- Chin Guok, Joe Membretti - explain demand for dynamic provisioning, contribute to state of the art 
- Joan Antoni Garcia-Espin - state of the art (UCLP/Argia, Phosphorus-HARMONY)
- Alex Willner - state of the art (Phosphorus-HARMONY , ARGON)
Chapter 2 - Network Service Interface
Chapter 2.1 NSI architecture
- Inder Monga - please describe overall architecture of the NSI, explain the framework concept, CS, etc.
Chapter 2.2 Messaging schema and primitives
- John MacAuley - please describe messages and primitives. Focus on the most important ones, ignore WSDL details and some more complex issues. 
Chapter 2.3 Reservation state diagram and examples
- Tomohiro Kudoh - current state machine is quite heavy to put all descriptions there IMHO, as we have limited space. I propose then to create an example of successful reservation (e.g. a demo one or pure abstract one) and show how states are transited and why.
Chapter 3 Demonstrations and lessons learned
- Jerry Sobieski, Jeroen van der Ham - highlight the most important demonstrations, show topologies, explain differences. Show the progress we made and what we learned out of it. Show how community react, how we get new interested parties and users. 
- John MacAuley - please help on the above if possible, i.e. on messaging changes during demos :)
Chapter 4 Future work
- Jerry Sobieski, Jeroen van der Ham - show new requirements we get for NSI CS (security, topologies, etc.). How do we plan to interact with users, where NSI is going to be deployed. Scratch some kind of roadmap and show partners interested in deploying NSI.

Please let me know if the above is fine for you. I will try to put everything together and contribute in multiple places if possible. I will however need a native speaker volunteer to get through all afterwards before submission. Anyone?

Best regards
Radek
