Subject: WSDM InterOp Final Details - 14 September



Dear WSDM InterOp Participants:

Enclosed are all the final details for next weeks InterOp Demo.  Please
review all the information and let me know if you have any questions.
Regards, Jane

**FINAL LOGISITICS:

~ Date/Time/Location:

Date - 14 September 2005
Room - White Flint Amphitheater
Demo Time - 1:30 to 2:20 PM
Setup Time - 7:00 AM to 1:30 PM
Tear-down Time - After the Track Ends 

~ Testing Location:

I have requested (per the group) a room from 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM on
Tuesday, 13 September.  EMW still has not confirmed the location yet.
They did mention it would be easier to use a room after 5:30 PM. They
also mentioned that Internet accessibility may not be an option.  If
that is the case I will inquire with the hotel directly. I will keep
everyone posted on the outcome.  (BTW: We do have the actual Interop
Demo meeting room "White Flint Amphitheater" from 7:00 AM until the time
of the demo - just in case.)

~ Attendee Packets:

We invite all participants to include a piece of company literature in
the attendee packets. I will be arriving at the hotel between 10:30 AM
and 11:00 AM on the 14th.  If you are interested, please have your
literature in the meeting room no later than 11:00 AM.  This will allow
enough time to put the packets together (before the program begins at
1:30 PM). Again the meeting room is the White Flint Amphitheater.

~ Registration Badges:

The following participants have been pre-registered - 
Heather Kreger, IBM
Barry Atkins, IBM
Bill Reichardt, HP
Zhilli Zhang, Tibco
Fred Maciel, Hitachi Ltd
Kato Hideharu, Hitachi Ltd
Rebecca Xiong, Datapower

Please let me know if any changes need to be made to the above list.
Registration badges may be picked up onsite at the registration desk.

~ Participant Requirements, i.e., equipment to be provided by each
participating organization: 

- (1) Laptops/servers each to run Weather Station service, (total 5
laptops/servers)
- Laptop to run each manager (total 2 laptops/servers)  
- HP to bring (2) Ethernet hubs and cables
- IBM to bring monitor switch

~ InterOp Title:
OASIS Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM): An Interoperability
Demonstration 

~ Audience Level:
Analysts, Architects, Strategists, Developers 

~ Brief InterOp Description:
This session will present an overview of WSDM and multi-vendor
interoperability demonstrations to illustrate the value and
interoperability of WSDM 1.0. This demonstration uses a Weather Station
Service Management scenario which illustrates how a client application
is kept unaffected by the changes in status of the services it invokes.
In this demonstration, a space shuttle landing site weather client that
depends on weather station services contracted through another company
to send reports. WSDM allows a standard manager to dynamically discover
the weather stations available, to get notified when one of the stations
is taken down for maintenance and to automatically redirect the client
application to the next best weather station available based on a
response time performance policy.

~ InterOp Abstract: 
This session will present an overview of WSDM and multi-vendor
interoperability demonstrations to illustrate the value and
interoperability of WSDM 1.0. WSDM was recently approved as a standard
by the OASIS organization. Web Services Distributed Management is
composed of two specifications, called MUWS (Management Using Web
Services) and MOWS (Management Of Web Services). The MUWS specification,
which is the foundation for bringing the power of Web services and SOA
to management applications, is the center of the demonstrations. This
simple demo clearly illustrates how WSDM allows management applications
to go beyond centralized monitoring in an agent-based world to
distributed, collaborating management application in a world that is
composed of both smart and simple resources.
This demonstration uses a Weather Station Service Management scenario.
It illustrates how a client application is kept unaffected by the
changes in status of the services it invokes. In this example, a weather
client that depends on weather station services from another company to
send reports. WSDM allows a standard manager to dynamically discover the
weather stations available, to get notified when one of the stations is
taken down for maintenance and to automatically redirect the client
application to the next best weather station available based on a
response time performance policy. One of the interesting points
illustrated in the demo, is the ability for a manager, the weather
client manager, without administration rights on the resources, the
Weather station services, to still access a subset of the manageability
capabilities of the resource, such as registering for notifications and
obtaining status, in order to manage the availability of its own
resources, the clients. The resource could make capabilities available
to each manager based on policy. 

The scenarios are made possible in a heterogeneous environment by the
use of a common, standard, Web services-based management protocol, WSDM
1.0. The use of WSDM has many other benefits not illustrated in these
particular examples, such as the ability to enrich business processes
with management information/action as well as the ability to instrument
and manage across organizational boundaries, that the demo presenters
will be happy to discuss during the Q&A at the end of and after the
session.
