Subject: [netmod] Side meeting on Yang of Things

Dear all,

As you have probably seen the announcement, a new non-WG mailing list was created - [email-masked]

We’ll have a side meeting on Thursday, 20th, 10h-12h in room Tyrolka, Mezzanine Level.

The description of the mailing list is as follows:
YANG is the method of choice in the IETF for describing data models exposed by manageable items. It is currently being used in the context of the NETCONF (and, increasingly, RESTCONF) protocols, which generally target high-function devices. The Coman initiative (RFC 7547, 7548) investigated requirements and use cases for management of networks with constrained devices. Building blocks for protocols that make this a reality (COMI) are emerging in the CoRE working group; however, CoRE as a WG is not currently focused on network or device management.

The "Yang of Things” (YOT) non-WG mailing list will discuss best practices for using YANG-based data modeling for the management of networks with constrained devices and constrained networks. It will also address how to best make use of properties of the combination of technologies involved (YANG, CBOR, SID, CoAP, RESTCONF, …). Of interest are the ways these same technologies could be applied outside the COMI focus of interest. The YOT mailing list will also be the proper forum to discuss new YANG modules targeting constrained devices and networks.

This is the preliminary agenda (subject to change):

- Introduction
- 10 min: Why YANG for IoT? 

- The CoMI framework (30 min)
  - 10 min: The CoMI protocol (and its relation to NETCONF/RESTCONF) - Michel Veillette, Peter van der Stok
  - 10 min: YANG-to-CBOR - Michel Veillette
  - 10 min: The SID registry - Alexander Pelov

- Mapping existing tools to YANG (10 min)
  - 5 min: LWM2M to CoMI - Peter van der Stok, Jaime Jimenez
  - 5 min: Ressource Directory to CoMI - Alexander Pelov

- CoMI for IoT (as of today) (20 min)
  - 5 min: Firmware update over CoMI - Michel Veillette, Alexander Pelov
  - 5 min: Event logger and notification control - Michel Veillette
  - 5 min: 6TiSCH - TBD
  - 5 min: LPWAN - Laurent Toutain

- Yang for IoT (20 min)
  - 10 min: YANG for embedded systems: Andy Bierman
  - 10 min: Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) - Eliot Lear, Thorsten Dahm

- Discussions (30 min)
  - What other points could YANG address for IoT?
  - Interaction models for YANG and IoT
  - Intersection between YANG and IoT communities
  - Getting YANG out of the routers
  - Getting efficient technologies to routers (from the constrained world)
  - Events, notifications, security, …

For any questions or comments, please use the mailing list: [email-masked]

See you on Thursday !

Best,
Alexander
