As the standards on NFV orchestration evolves slowly, and also there are many MANO open source implementation today like OSM, OPEN-O, Open-Baton, Tacker, even ECOMP. there is an increasingly considerable divergence among open source implementations, which may lead to industry fragmentation since the alignment of the Open Source and Standard on information/data modeling, which is critical to enable interoperability among MANO stack components. The invited panelists, are expected to discuss the current practice and status of collaboration between related SDOs and open source communities on NFV orchestration, which is particularly focused on identifying and addressing potential gaps between SDO specifications to open source implementations (e.g. Among ETSI NFV IFA, YANG, Tosca and OpenStack).
