Subject: RE: [soa-rm-ra] Management Model section after comments of this week
You pay per service usage – example amount of trades that you
can do – or max amount of usage – up to 5 trades a day. So as a service provider I need to know how many time
particular consumer invoked my service and charge him accordingly From: mpoulin@usa.com
[mailto:mpoulin@usa.com] Before including these two new things into the dos, here are a few
questions: 1. What is "usage
manageability"? Usage of what? Who manages it and when? What is so special
about it to be mentioned in the standard (what we will standardize)? 2. What is metering in this context? Can metering exist outside of
monitoring? Can metering exist on its own w/o SLA of KPI? What the SOA
specifics of metering that differentiate it from the metering in distributed
computing? - Michael -----Original Message----- Actually this brings one more manageability, that Michael does
not have – usage manageability and metering. I will buy this one From: Ken Laskey [mailto:klaskey@mitre.org] I concede on the example but I’m still inclined to think
monitoring needs to be broader than invocation events. Too tired to be more creative. Ken --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Kenneth Laskey MITRE Corporation, M/S

situation number 1. So I am still not buying events thingy From: Ken Laskey [mailto:klaskey@mitre.org] 1. I
think events have to be more than invocations. A service consuming a lot
of bandwidth may be an event that requires a response from management. Deciding
the response likely falls under other management but the monitoring itself is
needed. If everything relates to an invocation, then maybe service
invocation is sufficient, but I don’t think you want to go there. I’d
stick with monitoring. 2. As
you list things below to fall under Combination or Composability, the list
becomes too diverse and has no focus for what is really being managed.
Everything requires some degree of management and when we decide something
needs to specifically be called out, it needs to be clear why the SOA ecosystem
requires something beyond traditional management. 3. I
think all aspects of performance should be in one place. Otherwise, it
seems like you’re splitting hair to break some out and not others. Ken --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Kenneth Laskey MITRE Corporation, M/S

Boris, I think that our task is not to set a status of
"disagree" but to find a solution to resolve the disagreement. 1. About
Event Manageability. It seems to me that "service invocation
manageability" might work because I certainly do not want to manage events
that may be even outside of SOA ecosystem. Also, I do distinguish (despite of
EDA vision) between the event and reporting of this event. A consideration I
use is this: if nobody (in given realm) listens to/monitors the event, this
does not mean that the event has not happened; one event may cause another
event - a sad example: an earthquake causes a tsunami - and, if we
discard the initial event as non-existed but we recognise the caused event, we
have to deal with things without reasons, out of the blue, which is not natural
and unacceptable to me. So, an events selection manageability is a sort of a view inside
and outside the SOA ecosystem for the service invocation triggers. 2. I do respect IBM’s viewpoint but
they proofed they are not very fast with changes and they still take SOA
service as a Web Service in several of their even modern applications and
papers while others (e.g. Dr. Marc Fiammante) are quite in synch with what we do in OASIS. So, a service, even a composite or aggregate service depends only
on functionality it needs from others. Considering an explicit contracts and a
possibility of the trusted realm, a service (and its implementation like a
process) may not and do not need to know who actually provides required
functionality. By Combination or Composability
Management I mean (but may be did not use proper words to articulate) a
management of service capabilities to be used in the combinations or to combine
others for providing solution for common task. This, particularly, includes:
special relationship between business services and Data Services / Data
Access Layer, enforcement of policies related to the granularity of interfaces,
management of information stores/repositories for meta-data, management of the
processes and procedures – development and run-time – that result in new
service combinations (which may include as integration as testing aspects), and
so on. I hope, you’ve got the picture. Configuration management may also take
place among others in this domain but, IMO, it is certainly not the major
one. 3. The last one – management
of business performances – do require and use SLA and SLA management but the
letter is not always a visible part of the former. This is why I put them
separately: the SLA management can still be provisioned at many different
levels (including pure technical ones) while management of business
performances may be more laid around business KPI. What do you think? - Michael -----Original Message----- Do you see events manageability as service invocation
manageability? I do not think I see it this way On everything else, Let’s see we agree to disagree What you call composability I call dependence – see IBM’s
service model – a service can have both interfaces and dependencies For me also, business performance requires SLA From: mpoulin@usa.com
[mailto:mpoulin@usa.com]
Boris, at a glance: · Event
Monitoring Manageability is mandatory IMO because it is not
about notifications but about managing selection of events that trigger the
services. · I do not
understand "Dependency
manageability" because service do not depend on other services; instead,
they depend on functionality of an arbitrary trusted provider (IBM Dynamic
Process Edition allowed having a 'basket' of potential providers where the process
picked up the actual one when needed on the fly 9not a discovery mechanism); no
end-points were configured up-front). This is not a programmatic dependency,
which many would read into. · Combination or Composability Management is about managing
combinations of services that might be realised w/ or w/o configuration, i.e.
via design (composition) or orchestration (aggregation), by both service
provider and consumer. The fact that existing BPM tools require configuration
does not mean that they are the only possible ways of doing combinations. Also,
do not forget about business domain where a service combination may requires
just a new organisational chart :-) · Business Performance and Service Level Agreement are very
different things, e.g. the former may have monetary expression while the latter
- pure technical expression. Also, the best technical expressions (measurements
and matrix) do not necessary lead to the best monetary expressions.
-----Original Message----- Here is my manageability proposal: ·
Lifecycle Manageability ·
Configuration manageability o Dependency
manageability ·
Policies Manageability ·
Contracts manageability ·
Business Performance manageability o SLA
Manageability Event Monitoring Manageability is really about reporting and
should not be there From: mpoulin@usa.com

Folks, I have incorporated all comments and chnages into attached
document. In some places, I have repeated the text (in different font) just to
save and show the comments that I responeded insted but didn't change the text.
I am not sure what tactics we prefer now - to go through all left
comments together in the meeting or for me to resolve each comment with
particular author (in some cases I disagree with the comment, however). Cheers, - Michael The information contained in this communication may be
