Is there any near-term plan to integrate support for hosting CIM entities (e.g. CIM objects and classes) in the Common Agent Container (a la a CIMOM)?
Thanks.

Hi Nick,
There is a discussion going on at the open management consortium about whether it is possible to create/implement an "open agent." I have suggested people look at CAC, but I thought it would be very helpful for you to weigh in with more detail about how other open source systems and network management projects could thi9nk about leveraging CAC in this capacity. I see potential, but I lack the detailed technical knowledge to be able to make the case.
