Issues
ACTION: SRT to send mail to the Semantics tag as to what he is looking for to initiate the discussion on semantics in the WS-Choreography language.
LATEST (NEW ACTION): SRT Brought semantics question to the TAG. On chairs coordination call, he asked about semantics for/of choreography. A new Semantic Web Services Interest Group is being formed in about one month. Issue will be sent to that group when it is formed.
ACTION*:Group will review Bugzilla issues list
MC pointed out that it would be very useful if people would come forward at the f2f to pull out issues they are interested in.
NEW ACTION: We should start using bugzilla effectively. This will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
-Requirements – next steps (progress/review)
SRT pointed out that Daniel is not on the call, he also will not
be at the f2f.
NEW ACTION: Members of the group must read the
requirements Document before the F2F.
MC pointed out that we should defer all requirement work and
discussion to the f2f.
- Issue tracking (progress/review)
- Task forces – next steps (progress/review)
NEW ACTION: Address the requirements with respect to the taskforces at the Seattle F2F. Chairs to place on agenda. We need to reconcile the requirements with the taskforces at the f2f, since they are implementing the requirements.
MC: We could move liaison discussion to accomodate Tony's
presentation on BCS
Monica: Are we going to talk about liaison in general?
MC: Yes, we have only set up one at the moment. We could talk
about other liaisons. One of the taskforces are required to look at
other work (BCF)
MC: There are several forms of liaising, it is not just a
harvesting activity, but also understand what the relationship
should be. At the taskforce level, harvesting is enough
MC: The location should be Bellevue and not Belmont.
NEW ACTION: SRT to change the location from Belmont to Bellevue.
SRT: I hear no other changes of the agenda.
MC: We need to talk about Dial-in to the f2f. Are there any
specific timeslots? Should the bridge be open all the
time?
NEW ACTION: Members should send an email about dial-in
requirements so that we can organize it ahead of time.
CM: F2F conflicts with sun network conference so I will not attend or dial in.
SRT: Let’s move to the December F2F: the main issue is
where? Currently it is Australia for the week of the 15th of
December
SRT: Another issue is that BPEL will probably not be in
Australia.
SRT: There is also another possibility to do it in Philadelphia
along with XML 2003 conference
MC: We need concrete offers to host the meeting
YL: Remember the 8 weeks rule
MC: There is some requirements to go outside the US since all the
meetings have happened in the US
MC: So far, we only have one offer
YL: I would be happy to go to australia, as I will be in japan at
roughly the same time
SRT: What about Sophia Antipolis?
CM: Australia sounds good to me
YL: There will be a technical plenary on February so it would
cover Europe at that time.
CM: Sophia would be great
- Web Service awareness of choreography
First in thread, latest
DB: if you have a web service that can behave in a predictable/deterministic way then it can take part in a choreography. However, most services have to be choreography aware since one can have complex and content based behavior
ChairNote: Segway into Correlation (I think)
-Correlation requirements
FM: architecture should not require that choreography data be embedded in the messages
FM: the reason for having a CDL is to help designers and architects to put together their systems. In this case, the choreography management is already implemented in the ws agent
YG: all parties negotiate before hand because the code base is very brittle
YG: the scope: a spec is done when there is nothing left to "cut"
YG: variably of the choreography can be dealt with at the application layer
YG: we don't try to specify which branch of choreography is going to happen
JD: there is a point that keeps getting lost. At the implementation level you have a need for correlation id
YG: hear hear!
JD: ws-addressing would fulfill the requirements for this for instance this is part of a service description, WSDL and its extension mechanism can be used to describe how the parties are communicating. We should be able to punt this problem. It is at a different level.
DB: not suggesting to develop negotiation protocols
YG: thinks the feature can wait until V2.
YG: also thinks that in practice the URI you are talking to specifies which choreography you are talking to.
DB: Once we have a choreography definition, it would be useful, to identify specific message content that unambiguously determine which part of the choreography will happen
MC: the requirements is that given an incoming message you can relate it back to a message defined in the choreography definition
DB: if correlation can be given by some other spec, this is great
YG: disagrees, the URI binding can specify the choreography so there is no ambiguity.
DB: we cannot "punt" on the problem, we have to related how other specs can be used in the context of ws-chor
JD: not specifying things allows for layering, which is good ..
TF: If you use CD at design time, you don't need to use it at run-time
TF: Need to identify what instance a message relates to.
TF: so the fundamental problem is how a CD is actually used
FM: A large driver for CDL is at design time. But not ruling out to use it at run-time
FM: a large fraction of the value should be come from non choreography aware systems.
MC: there is a need at some level to express the decisions you make at the deployment level
MC: we have to have a way of anotating the CDL to capture this information
MC: there is going to come a point where we need to do everything that's needed in 18 months
SRT: "what it is you bind to" needs to be specified. Kind of dynamic MDA
TF: two different ways of achieving interoperability
TF: 1) keep it simple ("cut" as much options as you can)
TF: 2) ebXML, there is a situation like BPSS can be used at design and run-time.
TF: BPSS has a lot of variability, the way this is solved is buy separating the CD from the implementation binding (specified in the CPPA)
SRT: would be nice to be express the binding at a higher level, express what the requirements are for execution
DB: Middleware needs to identify when a message comes in: a) CDL, b)... c) which instance of the choreography it is related too
DB: CDL should be able to use at run-time, therefore, we should specify run-time specific parameters
MM: CPPA is currently defining WSDL definitions
MM: this could be used for ws-chor
MC: we need to focuss back on requirements, look at what we need for version 1 and defer fansier features to later
ChairNote: Not sure we got to this item from the notes above.
