Abstract: This document normatively defines a 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 a pseudo schema and
an
XSD.
TC Description:
SAF is a catalog-based XML collaborative knowledge framework that is designed
to
automate appropriate responses to changing business conditions and integrate
contributions from diverse domains. SAF has applicability in IT and business
including cloud computing, service management, governance, security, energy,
eGov, financial, emergency management, healthcare, and communications.

Cloud computing, in particular, exacerbates the separation between
consumer-based business requirements and provider-supplied IT responses. SAF
facilitates knowledge sharing across these domains, allowing consumer and
provider to work cooperatively together to ensure adequate capacity, maximize
quality of service, and reduce cost.

The SAF technical committee considers cloud computing to be an area where the
value of existing and developing standards could be significantly enhanced
using
SAF, and as such it has been working on a Cloud primer document alongside the
core specification.
