Meeting notes
Summary of key points arising:
- Recap previous workshop
- Workshop #1 minutes at 20200928 Multi-SDO Autonomous Network Coordination Workshop
- Comprised a series of presentations from Multiple SDO presenting their ideas on Autonomous Networks and where they thought that coordination/ cooperation could be useful.
- Concluded that could be useful to share definitions of some key terms to raise awareness of position of different SDO work.
- Topics agreed were: Autonomous Networks, Autonomous Network Levels, Intent driven interactions, Control loops, Autonomous Domain.
- Workshop # 2 minutes at: 2021-02-22 Multi-SDO Autonomous Networks Workshop #2 Meeting Notes
- The plan was to complete the table capturing which DO were interested in which topics posted at: Topic / SDO Matrix
- However several of the SDOs want to have a statement of the business benefits of coordination and what the result might look like.
- There were also some legitimate doubts and concerns on some of the topics and some best practice observations e.g Information models metamodels.
- Two key proposal emerged with reasonable support: One on a roadmap / landscape for AN and Second on an overarching set of principles.
- Workshop #1 minutes at 20200928 Multi-SDO Autonomous Network Coordination Workshop
- Administration arrangements WP01
- TM Forum presented Work Package proposal WP01 see: Work Packages ( WP)
- The key reasons for this proposal was to clarify the need for two threads of activity one dealing with formal and administrative issues and a second thread of Open Workshops for sharing or information and raising awareness.
- Also, need to get a schedule of meetings locked down, meeting invites sent out and for there to be a written down schedule of discussion topics.
- Key points are:
- Notifications and communications
- the formal/ administrative thread is communicated to SDO Points of Contact see: Formal SDO Liaison Contacts List
- the Open Workshop thread is communicated using the email exploder [email protected] rather than formal liaison points and is open to anyone saw: List of Open Workshop Participants this can be used for sending Outlook invites
- The notion is that the open workshop can have free exchange of ideas but where formal liaisons are needed the Formal/administrative thread can be used to review any workshop proposals and if appropriate conduct any necessary formal communication /agreements between interested SDOs.
- It is not intended that the formal SDO coordination thread directs the workshop discussions as we are not trying to create an uber SDO organization.
- Frequency
- The frequency of the formal administrative meeting is proposed to be at 8 week interval and for the open workshops monthly.
- Propose to change timing of meeting to Monday PM and to have longer meeting for the workshop cf. the formal administrative meetings.
- Feedback on proposal WP01
- Conclusion was we need to change the names of the two threads to be sub threads of Multi-SDO AN.
- Meeting frequency for formal administrative discussion should be about 8 weeks.
- Need to add an outline of the deliverables expected from each thread to the WP01 proposal.
- Confusion over inclusion of WP03 in the Formal administrative thread. Concluded that it is about AN vision / objective rather that MULt-SDO vision and onbjectives - Agreed to move to the Open Workshop thread.
- It is expected that the workshop will also include topics proposed in WP02 Roadmap and Landscape, WP03(AN) Business Vision & requirements: and later and IEEE proposal WP04 Overarching Blueprint of Common Operational Principles of Autonomic/Autonomous Networks.
- AP TM Forum Will prepare an updated WP01 proposal.
- Ed Note post workshop suggested we might need a work flow diagram show how the two threads work together and possibly some procedure descriptions.
- Notifications and communications
- Create a common agreement on strategic objectives with results in or before 2022 WP03
- WP 3 propose addressing both AN business and technical objectives and is an evolution of the original TM Forum proposal to Workshop #1 to address feedback received.
- Some lack of clarity about Business Objective in this draft agreed there are two business objective those of the coordination and those of AN itself. which is what this WP03 is about and the Objective of the SDO coordination and benefit which can be handled in the formal administrative thread.
- Candidates for inclusion in agreement include:
- Joint catalysts / PoC e.g. Demonstrating AN interoperability between independently developed AN using only common agreement.
- Use cases for catalysts.
- Develop Landscape / Roadmap documents.
- Interactions and interoperability specifications.
- Testing and verification mechanisms.
- This list reflects the TM Forum view of possible objective for the Multi-SDO liaison ( as distinct from AN Business objectives).
- Summary Next steps
- AP TM Forum Will prepare an updated WP01 proposal.
- AP TM Forum will send out invite for Open Workshop scheduled for 22nd March
