Error Handling for Client and Provider Developers
Jim Davis, WSI
The DMTF has introduced a new class called CIM_Error. This class contains detailed information onthe error that occcured as welll as allowing for standard messages and information for corrective behavior. This session will provide source code and running examples that describe how the infrastructure, providers and clients product and handle instances of CIM_Error.

Java WBEM API (JSR48)
Jim Davis, WSI
The JSR48 API is the standard Java API for developing CIM and WBEM
Clients and Providers. The API includes support for the following:
CIM
- A mapping of the Common
Information Model (CIM) Meta Schema to Java.
WBEM
Client - A protocol-neutral mapping of
WBEM operations to Java.
Listeners - A set of classes
to listen for Indications.
Providers - A set of interfaces
for developing providers.
This session will describe the architecure and design of the API,
describe each of the Interface areas, provide running code examples for
clients, listeners, providers and CIM Mappings. The examples will use
both CIM-XML and WS-Management.
WBEM Agent Validation Environment
Carl Chan, WSI
WBEM Agent Validation Environment - The WBEM Solutions WBEM Agent Validation Environment is a data driven test infrastructure designed specificatooy to validate WBEM-Based implementations against protocols, profiles and initiatives. The product supports both the CIM-XML and WS-Management protocols. The product allows end users to extend the test suire by add tests, and custom profiles

Waiki Wright, IBM
are available for testing and debugging providers utilizing the Extensible CIM UML Tooling Environment (ECUTE).
Writing WBEM Providers in C using CMPI
Karl Schopmeyer, Inova Development
CMPI (Common Manageability Programming Interface) is a standard from The Open Group. This session will describe how to write providers in C to the CMPI standard so that the providers can be portable across multiple WBEM Servers. This session will be showing source code examples and if time permits running examples.
CIM Enabling an Embedded Linux Device
Chris Buccella, IBM
Sean Swehla, IBM
This session will be a walkthrough of deploying a lightweight WBEM stack on an embedded system, such as a Linksys router running Linux. Covered will be component selection, deployment, and special considerations

Enabling Scalable Data Center Management with a Smart Bare-Metal Server Platform
Ricardo Morin, Intel
Key IT management tasks that must be automated and enhanced to realize the idea of a highly scalable and dynamic data center are discovery, configuration, and provisioning of new servers. In this presentation we will describe pre-boot capabilities endowing the bare metal server with the ability to be discovered, queried, configured, and provisioned at time zero using industry standards like Common Information Model (CIM), CIM-XML, and Service Location Protocol (SLP). The capabilities are implemented as a payload of an Intel® Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)-compliant BIOS, the Intel® Rapid Boot Toolkit (IRBT), allowing a data center resource manager to discover a new server during pre-boot, possibly in a bare-metal state, and then perform an asset inventory, configure the server including CPU-specific settings, and provision it with the most appropriate image.
Resource Life Cycle Management
Rajesh Radhakrishnan, IBM
The DMTF CIM (Common Information Model) takes a Resource Manangement view and has developed standards for Server, Sotrage, Desktop, Virtualization and others. This presentation provides an information model for Service Managemenrt and Service Metrics.
Monitoring a SUSE Linux Enterprise Environment with System Center Operations Manager by utilizing CIM and WS-Management
Alex Danoyan, Novell
Learn the architecture and how you can monitor a SUSE Linux Enterprise environment using the Cross Platform Extensions, which will be part of Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, and the new Novell Linux Management Pack. Novell's management pack extends the default cross-platform capability of Operation Manager 2007 R2 and provides monitoring and management capability of key services running on SUSE Linux Enterprise using CIM and WS-Management standards.
