Events featuring OASIS and our communities

Throughout the year, we organize, attend and speak at a number of events on open source and open standards.

OASIS Virtual Event

Borderless Cyber 2021

OASIS Open and The National Council of ISACs team up to bring you a two-day virtual cybersecurity program focused on interoperability strategies to help mitigate threats to one of our most critical global areas — Supply Chains. The event will include a diverse hand-picked group of global cybersecurity experts that will share their views on the right combination of measures needed to ensure your cybersecurity strategy confidence reaches that next level. Through a mixture of interactive panel discussions and presentations, you’ll hear how you can be part of the global collaboration effort and learn actionable advice needed to avoid being the next target.

The event is free and open to all.

DITA 2.0: A NOT backwards compatible release

A series of Webinars for vendors of DITA tools.

Join members of the DITA Technical Committee on Tuesday, 15 June 2021 for a look at the contours of DITA 2.0. Because DITA 2.0 is NOT backwards compatible, we want to engage vendors and developers of DITA solutions early on. By the day of the Webinar, the grammar files for the release (DTD and RNG) will be complete and available for testing. A draft of the specification also will be available, although editorial work will be on-going throughout 2021.

In this 60-minute session, we’ll go over what the release contains, with a special focus on where there are changes that will have an effect on current tools (editors, CCMS, publishing, conversion, content delivery, etc.). Plan to send your product managers and lead architects! The session will be recorded. Then join us again on 29 June 2021 for a question and answer session.

Commercial Network Services Lifecycle Management Using Model Driven Software Automation

Part of the TOSCA Implementation Series

Comcast architecture leverages a number of information models and orchestration tools including TOSCA and YANG to enable complete life cycle management of SDN and NFV functionalities and to configure the physical and virtual devices that comprise an end-to-end service.

During this webinar, the speakers will share how TOSCA is being used to describe the orchestration between the resources across a complex end to end service(s) such as SD-WAN and Cloud Security. Also how Comcast makes use of the TOSCA orchestration capabilities such as substitution/service decomposition for vendor abstraction to realize some of the VNF use cases. TOSCA’s interface and life cycle operations are used for the implementation aspects. TOSCA’s requirement, capability types, node referencing features helps to define and visualize the end-to-end service as a topology graph of inter-connected nodes and navigate across connected services.

Open Matters: Buyer’s Guide to Foundations

Part of the Open Matters Livestream series

Starting up a new open source or standards project, or forking one? Governance is likely on your mind (or at least it should be). How do you build your community and ensure that you can get wide adoption and collaboration beyond just your own organization? Early on in a project, you can probably go it alone, but, history has shown that as projects get bigger and more complex, with more players, a need for independent and neutral governance becomes critical. 

Join us for the next Open Matters episode, where Guy Martin sits down with OASIS Board member Rich Bowen of Red Hat to get his take on what projects should be looking for as they search for a Foundation or Consortium that meets their needs. The discussion will conclude with ample time for questions.

OASIS Virtual Event

Ubicity: Pure TOSCA Orchestration

Ubicity is a pure TOSCA orchestrator: orchestration functionality is based exclusively on features in the TOSCA language without any built-in knowledge about domain-specific types or platform-specific implementations. Domain-specific information is introduced into the Orchestrator using TOSCA Profiles (a TOSCA Version 2.0 feature). Profiles include the artifacts that provide implementations for domain-specific types.

This webinar will highlight how Ubicity uses TOSCA features such as Requirement Fulfillment and Substitution Mapping to support abstract service templates that are realized based on available resources at deployment time. We will use deployment of Kubernetes Clusters as an example to demonstrate how Profiles are introduced into the Ubicity catalog, how the Orchestrator is made aware of external resources, how Service Archives are onboarded, and how services are deployed from the catalog.

OASIS Virtual Event

Indicators of Behaviour: How Can We Communicate and Collaborate on Them

During this first “OCA Community Forum,” we’ll tackle the topic of Indicators of Behaviour or IoBs. OCA Board Co-Chair, Jason Keirstead of IBM, will be joined by Lodrina Cherne from Cybereason to review:

  • What is an IoB, and how it differs from an Indicators of Attack (IoA) and Indicators of Compromise (IoC)?
  • How can (and should) an IoB be used by security practitioners, what outcomes are they used for?
  • Whether cybersecurity products should exchange IoBs? Assuming so, how would and should that work?
  • How the Open Cybersecurity Alliance plans to formulate a point of view around them.

Will Cloud Architecture Conquer the Heart of Industrial Manufacturing – Using TOSCA?

Part of the TOSCA Implementation Webinar Series

Industrial manufacturing, long a laggard in the adoption of IT innovations, is experiencing a sudden and significant transformation of end-to-end digitalization. At the very heart of industrial manufacturing are proprietary solutions known as the “Industrial Control System” or “ICS”, an approximately $150B global market. Now entering testing and pilot demonstrations are Open-ICS architectures that are embracing modern IT technologies including virtualization and a 500X increase in compute power. And TOSCA is emerging as an important tool to simplify lifecycle management of applications and infrastructure in this Open-ICS environment. The webinar guest speakers will explain how CPLANE.ai just recently completed a highly successful pilot with ExxonMobil demonstrating the incredible power of orchestration using TOSCA in an Open-ICS.

This demonstration highlights the reduced startup time by more than 99% of an ICS. The speakers will also discuss how orchestration is being accepted as the key technology to displace proprietary systems. Orchestration is opening industrial manufacturing to Open and powerful IT and Cloud technologies, accelerating the digital transformation of industrial manufacturing. Yes, cloud architectures and technologies are conquering the heart of industrial manufacturing. Join us in this Webinar to learn how the TOSCA framework is leading the way.

Open Source in Business (Episode 2): The Business of Standards & Open Source

In this episode, Silona Bonewald, the Executive Director of IEEE SA Open, and Guy Martin, the OASIS Executive Director, join Stephen Walli to discuss the drivers that lead companies to invest in the development of open standards, and in open source implementations of those standards, and to explore the history of both standards development and open source communities, and what the future looks like for both.

Partner Event

2021 International Conference on the EU Cybersecurity Act

The 2021 International Conference on the EU Cybersecurity Act has been developed to help standards community prepare for the evolution of risk-based frameworks meant to address market fragmentation in the EU.  It will cover the potential effects on current schemes and regulatory mandates, as well as new potential candidate schemes for key industry verticals such as IoT, cloud, communications, payments, automotive, and more.

Open Matters: Building a Hybrid SDO/OSS Model

Part of the Open Matters Livestream series

The next Open Matters discussion tackles the confusion around the convergence of open source and open standards.

IBM CTO of Open Technology and Fellow, Chris Ferris, joins Guy Martin to answer your questions about the trajectory of what’s needed for organizations to be successful in building a hybrid SDO/OSS model. They’ll reflect on the specific governance required to be successful in each space, as well as the operational best practices that need to play a role. Views will be shared on the current perceptions around the merging of these communities and the steps to be considered to help you breakdown traditional thinking. The discussion will conclude with ample time for questions.
