[cosmos-dev] Demo Proposal Submission

[Mark D Weitzel <weitzelm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All...

Here's the text that i'll submit for
the demo at eclipse con.
Please take a quick look over it and
reply with your comments.  Keep in mind that the demo is only 20 minutes
long and we will have the opportunity to deliver only one clear message.
 

Please respond asap and I'll post since
Monday is the deadline.

Thanks!

Title:  Using SML in Systems
Management.

The objective of the demo is to
present an overview of how technologies related to the Service Modeling
Language (SML) can be used in systems management.  SML was created
by the SML working group whose members are BEA, BMC, Cisco, Dell, EMC,
HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Sun (www.serviceml.org).  Its purpose
is to standardize an XML based language usedto describe system resources
in an IT environment.  It also includes a related specification used
to share SML based documents, SML-IF (Interchange Format).

This presentation will demonstrate
the framework being developed by the Eclipse COSMOS project.  We will
show how information contained in SML-IF can be used to represent a topology
of system resources.  The topology information will be used to drive
a web based interface.  

We will demonstrate how the COSMOS
framework uses SML in the monitoring of system resources to provide a standard
mechanism to connect the producers of information with its consumers.  SML
will be used to describe the monitoring aspects of resources found in an
IT system.  This will include resource topology and log file information.
 Using this information, the COSMOS framework will drive a web interface
that facilitates the navigation of the topology, and invocation of BIRT
based reports.  During the demo, the resource information will be
updated and the COSMOS framework will make this new monitoring information
available.
