On Wednesday, 14 Sept, DataPower, IBM, HP, Hitachi, and TIBCO joined together to demonstrate interoperability of the Web Services
Distributed Management (WSDM) OASIS Standard at the Enterprise Management World conference in Bethesda, Maryland.  More than 40
people attended the InterOp, which employed a weather station scenario to demonstrate how WSDM allows management applications to be
built using Web services, permitting resources to be controlled by many managers through a single interface.
