[Oslc-Automation] Scenario for automation server/automation tool (worker, agent, etc) interaction

[David N Brauneis]

One thing I believe this scenario does not take into account is when the 
automation tool is a server/client implementation, it is assuming that the 
automation server does not do any of the work and relies on standalone 
automation tools to perform work.

I'm not sure this should be a part of the core scenarios for the first 
version of the specification - this was discussed and debated in the past 
but it was decided that the OSLC specification should not force a pattern 
here either push or pull or define how the agent/agentless 
systems/endpoints communicate with the server.

Regards,
David

As discussed at the end of the last workgroup meeting, Pramod Chandoria 
has
provided a proposed scenario [1] for how automation providers or servers
interact with automation tools/agents/workers.

It raises interesting points on how the instances performing the actual
automation work/execution find their providers and how they receive their
work (push/pull).   We'll discuss the scenario in the next workgroup
meeting, but any discussion before then can take place on the list.
Examples of other interactions with automation providers would be of
interest.
