COSMOS Release Plan Version 1.0.0

Community Systems Management Open Source (COSMOS) 1.0 Project Plan (Draft)

Please send comments about this plan to the cosmos-mgmt@eclipse.org project management mailing list.


This document lays out the feature and API set for the COSMOS 1.0 release.

This plan describes the release deliverables, release milestones, and the plan items for the four projects under COSMOS. Each plan item covers a feature or API that is to be added to COSMOS, or some aspect of COSMOS that is to be improved. Each plan item has its own entry in the COSMOS bugzilla database, with a title and a concise summary (usually a single paragraph) that explains the work item at a suitably high level so that everyone can readily understand the work item.


Fixing bugs, improving test coverage, documentation, examples, performance tuning, usability, etc. are considered routine ongoing maintenance activities and are not included in this plan unless they would also involve a significant change to the API or feature set, or involve a significant amount of work. The intent of the plan is to account for all interesting feature work.

Release Deliverables

The following release deliverables are provided:

  • Runtime
  • Source
  • Examples
  • Component Tests
  • Data Collection Implementation
  • Data Visualization Implementation
  • Resource Modeling Implementation

Release Milestones

The COSMOS 1.0 release is targeted for general availability on 20-July-2007. All release deliverables will be available for download as soon as the release has been tested and validated in the target configurations. There is an allocation of resource to defect removal in all iterations. The first Iterations 1-3 will contain the bulk of the enhancement work, while Iteration 4 will mainly be used to stabilize and shut down the release.


Release Milestones

Milestone Date Description
Iteration 1 Fri 02/23/2007 Demo development
Iteration 2 Fri 04/06/2007 Development & Test
Iteration 3 Fri 05/18/2007 Development & Test
Iteration 4 Fri 06/15/2007 Shut down and Europa General Availability June 29 2007
Availability Fri 07/20/2007 Available for POCs

Themes

The COSMOS project adopted the following theme which represents the key focus area for COSMOS enhancements in the year ahead.

  • Provide an open platform that is standards-based for extensibility and openness
  • Provide exemplary tools for monitoring and management of popular open distributed platforms
  • Establish base framework:
    • Data collection normalization and persistence framework
    • Validation/Editing/Viewing framework based on SML

Project Designs

The COSMOS project is comprised of four projects, managed in a coordinated fashion, across which the plan items are allocated. COSMOS projects include:

  • Data Collection Project - The COSMOS Data Collection framework aims to provide value by building a standard based integration framework that can incrementally replace the existing ad hoc integrations between agent infrastructures and the management applications that utilize them. The initial focus of the data collection component is the delivery of a framework that provides a well-defined set of service interface types that facilitate the discovery and control of monitoring agents as well as related data services such as collection, transformation, filtering, persistence, and query. These services may be discovered, explored, and controlled through Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) standard interfaces. They will describe themselves by exposing Service Modeling Language Interchange Format (SML-IF) models using WS-metadata exchange.
  • Resource Modeling Project - Aims to provide support for validating and building a common model to represent the information being shared in a system management scenario. The Service Modeling Language Interchange Format (SML-IF) will be used to share model components between the tools involved in a system management activity.
  • Management Enablement - To be implemented in a future release

Designs for these projects will be checked in to the COSMOS bugzilla database so that developers can reference them as they create designs for specific plan items.

Features

Plan items targeted for this release represent the addition of new features or areas where existing features will be significantly reworked or enhanced. Plan items are allocated to the projects indicated above.

COSMOS Data Collection Project Plan Items

Status Description
In Plan Define and build the COSMOS data collection framework. This includes: definition and implementation of the component assembly framework SPI, implementation of binding and component context loading services for an Equinox OSGi host, definition of component APIs supporting all currently defined component types (data source, data sink, filter, transformer), base classes for all currently defined component types, component assembly schema, automated build process for the data collection component, user documentation for adopters of the framework, and automated unit test cases. The following enhancements are being used to track this work: (174347) (177821) (180318) .
In Plan Exemplary components for the data collection framework. (180322)
Not in Plan


COSMOS Data Visualization Project Plan Items

Status Description
In Plan Visualize a read-only model (the ui is not expected to modify the resource model or data collection information), provide a simple navigation system based on a resource graph, show properties of a resource, and provide visualization of collected resource information. (180069)
Not in Plan

COSMOS Resource Modeling Project Plan Items

Status Description
In Plan Create agent descriptors in SML to represent logging agents. (178590)
In Plan Provide a data layer for Data Visualization access to resource, which includes the following services: data filtering, data grouping, data sorting and data counts. (180068)
In Plan Provide the concept of a repository under the resource modeling subproject. (179828)
In Plan SML validator should accept input other than File resources. (181594)
In Plan Create more test cases for the validation plug-in. (172682)
Not in Plan
