For those who may be familiar with the earlier versions of the WIMS Protocol , there have been some significant changes.

            1. New operations were added to allow more traditional manager-initiated queries as well as the Agent initiated operations in the original version.
            2. New and modified sequence example diagrams were added to better illustrate both agent and manager initiated modes.
            3. Instabilities in current WDSL specification made it difficult to include over-the-wire WIMS interaction examples that would hold up. Therefore, the WIMS Protocol Specification was abstracted and divorced from specific bindings. Bindings would be presented in a subsequent document.

Please send comments to  [email-masked], not to pwg-announce.

Many thanks
