The WBMM working group, in pursuing its charter, has encountered management
aspects that should be of interest in areas well beyond the specifics of remote
management over the web. Indeed, to adequately address the general question of
"fleet" management, the group has had to
A: revisit resource and notification areas originally addressed in
pending IPP documents,
B: define an extensive set of "use counter" variables to be added to
the MIB
C: start to address the management of Multifunction units, since most
of the enterprise imaging units applicable to fleet management are of this type.
This is in addition to the XML representation of the management objects
presently in the MIB, a representation that is being applied to areas other
than fleet management as well.
Considering the general nature of these subjects, the WBMM face-to-face agenda
is structured to generally present and discuss these areas in the morning. In
the afternoon session, we will go into more of the details of these areas and
address specific web management aspects.
Because of the impact these issues are anticipated to have on imaging devices,
services and clients, we urge PWG members to participate in the consideration
of these general items, particularly in morning session even if they have no
interest in fleet management. Everyone is. of course, invited to stay for the
afternoon session as well.
