re: FYI ... An article on CIM, Policy Framework WG and modeling from Network Computing



Andrea and other Friends of Comprehensive Modeling:

An interesting article. Given all the groups, initiatives and models
discussed in it, where would NIM fit in?

Does anyone have an inventory of models? What has been modeled already
and how are the models intended to be used?

Specifically, who has modeled protocols -- not particular protocols
(although that would be a valuable byproduct) but protocols in
general? A positive answer to that question might save me the work of
adapting Gouda's procedure-oriented APN to an object-oriented model. 

But protocols are only part of the Big Picture. What else should a
comprehensive model comprehend? Management, services, network
resources, information/data resources, protocols, and what else?

Feature: Management Standards Come Together
------------------------------------------------------------
(September 4, 2000)
By Bruce Boardman
Will management standards deliver on their promise of true
interoperability? Standards groups are collaborating to provide an
overarching framework with buy-in from all the major industry
vendors. Can they pull it off? Here's our take:
