Openwings Context Expert Team Call for Experts

Openwings Call For Experts

The Openwings Context Services Specification Request has been approved (OSR_004). The Call for Experts (CAFE) will be open through May 4, 2001. Here is a summary of this specification:

The Context Expert Team focuses on providing a secure, available context for system formation and service discovery. It is the job of the context to provide the core services required for self-forming and self-healing systems. The context service provides the environmental information for components to execute. The static part of this is delivered at installation time. Other information is delivered at runtime through the context service. The context service keeps the core services necessary for system formation running, through use of the container services. These include network services, discovery services, security services, management, network formation, and install services. The install services provide for zero interaction installation, dependency resolution, and policy resolution. In addition the install service can act as an application server to deliver services software to the network.
