IBM Touchpoint Simulator has graduated.
Touchpoint Simulator has been upgraded to take advantage of the latest resource management standards from OASIS. The new version of Touchpoint Simulator is called IBM Manageability Endpoint Simulator and it is a component of the Autonomic Integrated Development Environment (AIDE), which is available here at alphaWorks.
AIDE supports the latest version of the WS-ResourceFramework (WS-RF) and WS-DistributedManagement (WS-DM) specifications. The previous version was based on a set of similar specifications published by the AC organization. Building test simulations with AIDE will be similar to building real manageability endpoints, so developers using AIDE will encounter only a small learning curve. AIDE is also tightly integrated with the Generic Log Adapter, so users can take advantage of previous investments in that technology while upgrading to the latest standards.
