[occi-wg] Special Session about OCCI at Closer 2016

Tue Mar 22 10:28:17 EDT 2016

The tentative agenda of the extended special session follows. The time
slots reserved to the four Closer presentations have been reduced to 25
minutes, and thus we have time for two slots of 20 minutes each for occi
1.2 review and implementations, and one 5 minutes slot for 2.0
perspectives. At the end, we have time for an open discussion before
closing.

16:00 - Introduction of the special session - Augusto
16:05 - #1 Evolution of The Open Cloud Computing Interface, by Boris Parak
et al.

16:30 - #2 Easing Scientific Computing and Federated Management in the
Cloud with OCCI, by Zdenek Šustr et al*.*

16:55 - #3 SLAaaS: an OCCI compliant framework for cloud SLA provisioning
and violation detection, by G. Katsaros et al.
17:20 - #4 Beyond Nagios - Design of a cloud monitoring system, by Augusto
Ciuffoletti
17:45 - ogf#1 review of OCCI 1.2 - summary, status of documents, feedback
(Boris?) (10' brief + 10' discussion)
18:05 - ogf#2 Implementations of OCCI 1.2: short & long term plans,
foresee-able challenges, project road-maps, OCCIware project (Jean?) (10'
brief +10' discussion)
18:25 - ogf#3 Perspective on OCCI 2.0: XML rendering, filtering, transport,
attribute types refinement (Augusto?) (5' brief)
18:30 - Open discussion
19:00 - Extended special session close

The three OGF talks (together with the four paper presentations) should
improve the outreach of OCCI.
The final open discussion should help to finalize the submitted documents.

Many items among those suggested by Jean and Boris are not scheduled. The
inventory:
-) discussion on changes which didn't get into OCCI 1.2
-) Extending OCCI's query interface -- in-depth discussion on query
interface extensions, multi-location set-ups, advertising endpoints,
etc.
-) Towards OCCI 2.0 -- preliminary discussions, roadmap
-) Filtering in OCCI -- this discussion is long overdue :-)
-) Transport protocol extensions -- perhaps AMQP, any other ideas?
-) Rendering extensions -- for the next release, we should finally
get XML into the standard
-) OpenAPI/Swagger

Some of them are challenging and urgent, but I think that now we should
really focus on closing the 1.2 documents, and consider them as building
blocks.
