Agenda
The agenda for the Denver meeting was as follows:
Monday, March 6, 2000
-
0900-1000 Brainstorming - Internet SIG Next Steps, Craig Thompson,
OBJS
Internet SIG is currently
sponsoring work in the CSCW and Agent
areas. But it is time to take stock, look around, and determine other
areas where interested parties are willing to do some work. One suggestion
is policy management, another is web-orb integration architectures, others
were suggested by the Internet
Services RFI. This session will be a brainstorming on next steps
for Internet SIG including re-reviewing those RFI
recommendations. All are welcome to participate.
-
1000-1020 Break
-
1020-1200 TBD
-
1300-1700 Agent
Working Group
Tuesday, March 7, 2000
UPDATE: Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Working
Group, Henry Rothkopf, MITRE - This group had planned to meet to review
the CSCW
green paper and possibly to begin to draft a CSCW RFP. Because
this work is beginning to see itself aligned with ECDTF, key people in
this group will spend the Denver meeting considering how to move the work
to that group. As a consequence, CSCW did not
meet as part of the Internet SIG group at the Denver meeting.
Internet SIG Future
Shel Sutton and Craig Thompson met to discuss Internet
SIG's future. Both feel Internet SIG has accomplished its primary
objectives:
-
educate OMG regarding new Internet and Web technologies
-
identify potential RFPs and funnel them to OMG platform
and domain task forces
-
spawn other efforts including Compositional Software
Architectures, Agents, and Computer Supported Cooperative Work.
For more detail, see the Internet
SIG homepage. Future directions might include a Web/OMA Integration
Architecture Working Group, some other directions from Internet
Services RFI recommendations or from brainstorming, or termination
of the group. At OMG Oslo ISIG will meet jointly
with Telecom TF. At OMG Burlingame, ISIG will meet to discuss its
future.

in September 2000.
