Date: May 20, 2005 Created by: Keisuke Fukui # This is an early version of the compilation with cut and paste # from earlier communication. To be refined and updated. - Decide the minimum set of requirements on security specification in ACS. - Demonstrate the recommended interface between ACS and CDDLM - Demonstrate the recommended interface between ACS and NAREGI type deployment engine. - Define the relationship of the SDD specification and ACS specification - Decide the detail service interface for ACS (ARI). - Converge the Archive Descriptor schema into IUDD schema. - Find the interoperability target and scope in other grid activity. EGEE, omii, etc. - Find appropriate candidates for reference implementations. - Collect use case descriptions to be shown in the spec. a) the new requirements from NAREGI PSE - including source code to be compiled for each target platform at or prior to the deployment of the application. - storing compiled binaries for target platforms in the repository. - storing (caching) the input and output data pairs through the lifecycle of the multiple executions of the application. b) relationship to the deployment API and component mode being discussed in the CDDLM-WG. - 'addFile' interface in the deployment API looks to be a candidate contact point with ACS, for example, "register" interface of ARI. - where the ACS interfaces should stand in the CDDLM's lifecycle model. - other (expected) GGF WGs such as OGSA design teams. c) collaboration with IUDD standardization group - Archive standard will be output from IUDD standardization. How can we contribute to it, to archive the common format for the grid deployment. Probably we should discuss Grid specific consideration at ACS, then report our outcome to the IUDD group. - Repository interface standard for Grid system will be output from GGF ACS. d) recruiting involvement from the European communities. One of the comments I got after the sessions is that we should seek for the participants from European Grid communities since they share much with our usecase and scope. We need a research on this possibility. UniGrid, EGEE, omii, and more... Open Issues in Strawman Draft of the ACS Spec. - More appropriate name and its abbreviation for Application Archive (AA). [3.1 Definition of Application Archive] - Details of Register interface, and method of uploading the entity to be registered. [5.1.1 Register] - Details of Remove interface. [5.2.2 Remove] - How to specify the Application Content in getContent interface. [5.2.3 GetContent] - Whether the putContent interface is necessary or not. [5.2.4 PutContent] - Details of events. [5.3.1 event of AA updating and 5.3.2 event of AA deletion] - List up and details of types of Application Contents. [6.4 Application Contents] - Clean up the relationship with DCML. [7.3.1 DCML] - Details of security [8 Security Consideration] - Details of samples [9 Samples] - Details of schema definition [10 Schema Definition]

I created this shorter version of the document for the OGSA-Roadmap - it only has the ACS section in it. The full roadmap is available from the OGSA-WG on GGF. Please have a look and consider the changes I made to the expected users section.

Not all of my postings appear to be making it to acs-wg(a)ggf.org. The f2f (html) email also was dropped. I had to resend that as well.
