TOSCA will work to substantially enhance the portability of Cloud applications and the IT services that comprise them. TOSCA will enable the interoperable description of application and infrastructure cloud services, the relationships between parts of the service, and the operational behavior of these services, independent of the supplier that creates the service, the particular cloud provider or hosting technology. TC proposers include representatives of OASIS Foundational Sponsor, IBM, as well as CA Technologies Capgemini, Cisco, Citrix, EMC, Red Hat, SAP, Software AG, and others. Paul Lipton of CA Technologies serves as convener. The member comment period for this draft charter closes 3 Nov. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00012.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ebXML RegRep 4.0 advances to Candidate OASIS Standard This multi-part specification may be used to implement interoperable registries and repositories. It is undergoing a 60-day public review period, which ends 23 Dec, in preparation for a member ballot to consider its approval as an OASIS Standard. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00017.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- XTemp 1.0 public review begins Produced by the Testing and Monitoring Internet Exchanges (TaMIE) TC, XTemp defines an XML mark-up language that is event-centric and intended for the analysis of sequence of events that represent traces of business processes. It is designed for both log analysis and real-time execution. The public review ends 7 Nov. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00005.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCA Assembly Model 1.1 public review begins The specification contains a series of artifacts that define the configuration of a Service Component Architecture (SCA) domain in terms of composites, which contain assemblies of service components, and the connections and related artifacts which describe how they are linked together. This public review ends 10 Nov. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00021.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAML 2.0 Attribute Predicate Profile 1.0 public review begins The profile provides a mechanism to allow a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authority to certify that a given Boolean predicate holds over one or more of a subject's attribute values, without revealing the exact values of these attributes. This public review ends 14 Nov. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00011.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAML 2.0 Metadata Extensions for Login 1.0 public review begins This document defines a set of extensions to SAML metadata that provide information necessary for user agents to present effective user interfaces and, in the case of identity provider discovery, recommend appropriate choices to the user. The public review ends 13 Nov. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00010.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Field Force Management (FFM) public review begins This document describes the FFM Integration Interface business drivers, business use cases, and high level features requirements. The public review ends 25 Nov. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00019.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Public review begins for six EMIX drafts Three documents address general and technical issues for the Energy Market Information Exchange standard, which focuses on exchanging price information and product definitions in energy markets. Three additional Note Drafts address the use of EMIX in Transactive Energy Markets in the broad sense. This public review ends 30 Nov. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201110/msg00015.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Int'l Cloud Symposium 2011 report offers summary, next steps The wrap-up captures key ideas discussed at the U.K. event and describes the consensus reached regarding the barriers to full adoption of the Cloud by public sector bodies. It also identifies OASIS' plans for moving forward on the issues raised. Prepared by John Borras and John Sabo, chairs of the eGov and IDtrust Member Sections (respectively), the report includes a selection of Twitter feedback from event attendees. http://events.oasis-open.org/home/sites/events.oasis-open.org.home/files/ICS2011%20Report.pdf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allison Y.
