["Scott McGrath" <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS members:

We are pleased to announce formation of the OASIS Changfeng Open Standards
Lab (COSL) Member Section. This new group within OASIS will serve as a focal
point in Asia for discussions of SOA-related open standards technology and
implementation, End-to-End Resource Planning (EERP), and other relevant
issues.

You are invited to join with the proposers of the OASIS COSL Member Section
in their work:
    * To serve as a focal point for discussions of SOA-related open
standards technology and implementation, End-to-End Resource Planning
(EERP), and other relevant issues as applicable in Asia;
    * To assist in the dissemination of, and collection of responses for
EERP. The EERP effort focuses on how to build a framework that manages all
services that a company requires to produce and deliver the products or
services to its ultimate consumers. Therefore, EERP includes the extended
research on how to evaluate services and processes subject to business
objectives and how to composite and de-composite services subject to
optimization.
    * To facilitate and encourage the re-use and information sharing for
SOA-related standards, technologies, and applications.
    * To assist OASIS in promotion and adoption of open standards.
