OK, let's submit this abstract then. I will send it to the guys Paul introduced
me to (Serge, Ken, etc) –Paul those are the ones to send it to, right?

Cheers,

Stavros

Stavros,

I would agree that the Education ppt opening slide works as the abstract. You might expand the SAF acronym, but otherwise it works pretty much unchanged.

Human experts in specific IT infrastructure and business domains possess
substantial knowledge about prevention, remediation, and optimization of systems
based on business conditions. The Cloud breaks down opportunities for these
experts (often residing in multiple cloud consumers and providers) to
collaborate in order to effectively capture, combine, and leverage this silo-ed
knowledge across their various multiple domains in an automated fashion. Thus, while cloud providers will be able to provide standardized management
interfaces to control their services, business consumers will be unable to
adequately automate and obtain value for their business using these management
interfaces. The SAF is a catalog-based XML collaborative knowledge framework that is
designed to address these challenges by automating appropriate responses to
changing business conditions and integrating contributions from diverse domains.
SAF has applicability to cloud computing (using the SAF Cloud Profile) as well
as many other architectures and disciplines.

Hi all,

Combining/altering the text from the PPT abstract (see below) with some of the
original text I have written seems tricky and perhaps is even pointless. My
original motivation was to go back to the original SAF principles and not
explicitly discuss Cloud, but Paul made a strong point in yesterday's call that
we should stick to our usual intro and pitch.

Shall we just submit the PPT abstract as is?

Regards,

Stavros

Hi Stavros,

This is an impressively detailed abstract. That said; I can’t help but think
that it would benefit from some simplification and more cloud-centric approach
that would emphasize the TC’s ongoing focus and use cases for the cloud profile
(mapping more to the TC’s approved presentation).

You may not have noticed it, but the PPT now has a short abstract/challenge
statement up front. It might be useful to leverage it as a template for your own
effort, perhaps: Human experts in specific IT infrastructure and business domains possess
substantial knowledge about prevention, remediation, and optimization of systems
based on business conditions. The Cloud breaks down opportunities for these
experts (often residing in multiple cloud consumers and providers) to
collaborate in order to effectively capture, combine, and leverage this silo-ed
knowledge across their various multiple domains in an automated fashion.

Thus, while cloud providers will be able to provide standardized management
interfaces to control their services, business consumers will be unable to
adequately automate and obtain value for their business using these management
interfaces.

The SAF is a catalog-based XML collaborative knowledge framework that is
designed to address these challenges by automating appropriate responses to
changing business conditions and integrating contributions from diverse domains.
SAF has applicability to cloud computing (using the SAF Cloud Profile) as well
as many other architectures and disciplines.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks, Paul

Hi all,

I took a first step in writing an abstract for the IBM CASCON Diagnosis workshop
(just CASCON from now on). It is still pretty rough, and need feedback as to
whether this is the right scope.

Once again, we should vote on this on Monday as we need to submit to CASCON
asap!

Cheers,

Stavros
