The OASIS Symptoms Automation Framework (SAF) TC [1] members have recently  
approved a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this  
specification for 30-day public review:

Symptoms Automation Framework (SAF) Version 1.0

Committee Specification Draft 02 / Public Review Draft 01

13 December 2011

Specification Overview:

This document normatively defines reference architecture for the Symptoms  
Automation Framework, a tool in the automatic detection, optimization, and  
remediation of operational aspects of complex systems, notably data centers.  
It also provides a non-normative XML data model, based on pseudo schema. 

The TC is submitting its SAF specification for public review, and  
concurrently working on a Cloud Primer showing relevance of the specification  
in the cloud. The Primer has specific examples of using DMTF Cloud  
Infrastructure Management Interface and OMF Open Cloud Computing Interface.  

Public Review Period:

The public review starts today, 20 January 2012 and ends 19 February  
2012.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from  
potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the  
sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
