Eventing in WS-Management: Implementation details and a real world demo
Anas Nashif, Intel
This session covers WS-Eventing implementation details and architecture in openwsman and will demonstrate real world events using CIM indications.
WS-Management on Rails
Klaus Kämpf, Novell, Inc
The dynamic, object-oriented scripting language Ruby has gained tremendous popularity through the Ruby On Rails web development framework.
This talk gives an overview on the various Ruby tools and bindings for WS-Management and WS-CIM and how they can be used together with Ruby On Rails to easily create web applications for remote management.
WS-Management in Embedded Environments
Hemal Shah, Broadcom Corporation
Web services based management of the computer systems has been
growing in popularity. WS-Management is an emerging DMTF standard that
is increasingly being used for the remote management of desktop,
mobile, and server systems. The remote management of the systems using
WS-Management in the OS-absent environments is creating significant
challenges for the embedded management controllers present in the
systems such as network controllers and baseboard management
controllers (BMCs). The management services running in the embedded
environments provided by these controllers are constrained by the
limited resources and power. In this talk, we will discuss challenges
and considerations involved in implementing WS-Management in these
embedded environments and share
our implementation experiences.
Openwsman:
Overview and Future Direction
Anas Nashif, Intel
This session will go into details about openwsman and its growing
popularity among hardware and software vendors and open-source
developers and how an open-source implementation can provide solutions
for every aspect of system
management: from embedded systems to desktops and servers. Also the
future direction of the project will be outlined such new features,
language bindings, small foot print and tight integration with CIM
object managers like openwbem
and SFCB.
Wiseman: Using WS-Management to enable JMX application
Simeon Pinder, Hewlett Packard
JSR 262 is a specification for building WebService connectors for JMX enabled applications. JSR-262 uses Wiseman as the WS* protocol to expose JMX operations access to java/non-java clients alike. The Wiseman framework is one of several tools that will be used to demonstrate how simple graphical tools can be built to manage a Tomcat(JMX-enabled) installation. The presentation is meant to demonstrate how powerful service oriented applications can be constructed using the Wiseman framework and with the WS-Management protocol.
WS-Management application enablement
Klaus Kämpf, Novell, Inc
Web Service Management allows for much more than just CIM
operations. This talk shows how to make use of WS-Man capabilities to
'web enable' any application on the API level.
Particular attention is given to the plugin interface of the openwsman
server component. Examples include openwsman-yast for remote management
of SUSE Linux systems and how to create a Ruby On Rails web application
interface for it.
WSDM CIM and Bridge Demonstration
Heather Kreger, IBM
This session will review the OASIS WSDM Standard
and the
WSDM CIM Specification. Demonstrations will include using Apache MUSE,
Eclipse
and the WSDM-CIM bridge to manage existing CIM managed resources, and
bridging
to some of the emerging converged Web services specifications.
Federation in a Web Services World: CMDB Federation specification
Mark Johnson, IBM
Most IT organizations have a mix of tools and heterogeneous data models. Integrating some of the data would enable more reliable and efficient management processes, but it is impractical to attempt to convert existing investment to a single data model or repository. This session describes a proposed Web services specification for federating resource data in heterogeneous repositories, the Configuration Management Database Federation specification.
Web Services Resource Catalog Specification Overview
Heather Kreger, IBM
Applications that need to locate and retrieve addressing information about resources need a service that offers this information in a systematic manner. This session will provide an overview of the Web Services Resource Catalog (WSRC) Specification which defines an XML format for a catalog for organizing and classifying management resources. This specification describes an XML document format that effectively supports the description of resources and their associated metadata in a model-neutral manner. Bindings for specific data-models like CIM can provide additional rules on how to advertise those resources in the catalog as well as include additional structure in extensibility points. The catalog is intended to advertise resources accessible via WS-Management, WSDM and other emerging management specifications including their underlying protocols. This specification can be composed with other Web service data description specifications. ( This session will review the WSRC specification published by HP, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft in May 2007 and was submitted to the DMTF for standardization - http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2007/05/resourcecatalog/ws-resourcecatalog.pdf. Please note that this specification will change during the standardization process in the DMTF WIP Workgroup's WS-ResourceCatalog subteam)
