Folks, Since we received the notice of resignation from Tom, I'd like to proceed to ask GFSG approval for removing his name from our ACS-WG co-chair. I believe that we don't need to find his replacement. Our document is very close to GFD-R-P publication and the plan is to pursue the reference implementation and its related technologies for next months. We have a GGF18 event in September, which won't be an issue with this procedure. Please reply to this mail if you have a objection to this. This is the last call before I will send request to our Area Directors next Wednesday June 28 in Japan time. -Keisuke

Teleconference minutes - Jun 5

Hi team, Here is the minutes of the today's telecon. Please review it and feed back corrections, if you have any. It is also available at the NEW SourceForge: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.acs-wg/d… # On Jun 3 and 4, the previous gridforge was renewed to the new one. # I'm not very sure if it is fully in production at this moment, but # seems working without problems. - Keisuke ============================================================================== ACS Teleconference Minutes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date and Time: Jun 5 Mon 20:00 EDT / Jun 6 Tue 9:00 JST Participants: Keisuke Fukui (Fujitsu) - minutes Peter Ziu (Northrop) Michael Behrens (R2AD) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Role call, note taker & time keeper, agenda bashing. 2. ACS convergence at the OASIS SDD TC. As Tom posted, the SDD TC concluded that it will try to keep alignment with GGF standards, including ACS, JSDL and CDDLM. My idea as a ACS-WG is to keep providing ACS information to them to make sure SDD covers our needs and requirements, then after it is finalized, we can reorganize our specification to have better alignment with it. My expectation is the change to the ACS 1.0 spec. is at a level of name change in the schema rather than hashing the entire structure of AAD document and no impacts on ARI, the repository interface. The migration of the existing implementations of ACS 1.0 should be easy and start after the formal revision of ACS 1.0; that would happen no earlier than 1Q, 2007. All of the SDD TC Document are open to public through the below URI: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=sdd You must set a large number for "Number of Documents" field to see whole set of documents. Sorting by column is available on the page. 3. Submission of the final ACS Spec. 1.0 after Public Comments We have finished revision of the document, in response to the public comments collected. The resulted document is uploaded the tracker below: https://forge.gridforum.org/tracker/index.php?aid=1696 We also made replies to comments on the public review tracker: https://forge.gridforum.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=592 Editor Tracker: https://forge.gridforum.org/tracker/index.php?aid=1696 We expect that it will go through the process soon. 4. GGF17 session and plan for GGF18 I participated several sessions including BES, OGSA at GGF17. No ACS sessions. We anticipate at GGF18 in September to cover reference implementations update including NAREGI PSE, and Business Grid. Mike mentioned making use of open repositories to hold implementation code. 5. Updates Tom is retiring from IBM on June 9th. He will be sending his resignation notice of ACS-WG co-chair. At this moment that we have finalized our ACS Spec. 1.0, we don't need to fill his position immediately. (Tom's resignation notice was posted to acs-wg on Jun 8.) 6. Wrap up, Next meeting(5 min) From now on, we will focus on the reference implementation related activity, including research/supporting work or recruiting the new projects . Next meeting was not scheduled. Separate notice will be posted on demand.

All, I wanted to let you know that, effective Friday, June 9, I am retiring from IBM and will therefore no longer participate in the ACS workgroup. Consequently I am resigning from my position as co-chair on the ACS WG. I have enjoyed working with all of you, especially Keisuke Fukui, who has put a tremendous amount of energy into ACS. Take care, I wish you all well in continuing your efforts. Thomas W.

OASIS SDD TC Formal requirements
by Thomas Studwell 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Dear ACS WG members, attached you will find a link to a document that has been approved by the OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor Technical Committee as the formal requirements for the SDD specification. This document is a result of compilation of over 200 use cases brought by TC members including representatives from your workgroup. We appreciate your input and we believe that we have captured the requirements needed to meet your use cases. Please take a look at the requirements and provide feedback through your representative, Keisuke Fukui. In addition to these requirements, in our recent face to face meeting the SDD TC voted to work with representatives of the ACS WG to try to converge ACS's AAD with relevant portions of the SDD. Work has already begun in this area and we look forward to agreeing on a converged mapping of key elements necessary in both sets of specifications. We understand that you are nearing approval of your V1.0 specification and any changes would most likely be reflected in later versions of the ACS specification but we believe this convergence is important to industry acceptance of both specifications and look forward to working with your representatives on this matter.
