Hi Team, Askalon team will present during our third session at GGF for 15 minutes. If appropriate, we can engage them in more in-depth discussions offline. Thanks, Dejan. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Fahringer [mailto:tf@dps.uibk.ac.at] Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 2:11 AM To: Milojicic, Dejan S (HP Labs) Cc: Mumtaz Siddiqui Subject: Re: GGF 16: proposal for talk about Askalon resource management Dear Dejan, 15 minutes is ok. Here is our abstract: Title: GLARE: Askalon's Grid Activity Registration, Deployment and Provisioning Framework. Abstract: Askalon Grid environment allows application developers to specify Grid application components at high level of abstraction which then requires an effective mapping between high level application description and actual deployed software components. GLARE is a part of Askalon's Grid middleware that provides dynamic registration, automatic deployment and on-demand provision of software components that can be used to build such applications and thus shields the Grid from application developers. It simplifies description and presentation of both component types and deployments so that they can easily be located in the Grid, mapped, and thus provisioned on-demand. GLARE has been implemented based on a super-peer model. The talk will be given by Mumtaz Siddiqui. Please let us know if you need any other information. Greetings Thomas Milojicic, Dejan S (HP Labs) wrote:
Hi Thomas,
The offer is still valied, except that we may have to shorten it somewhat. Would 15 minutes work for you. We are now getting fewer meetings, so we have to economize. We have 3 sessions scheduled and you will be part of the last session.
Thanks,
Dejan.

Dear Dejan,
coming back to your offer to provide us with a presentation slot for the Askalon resource manager. Could you give us up to 25 minutes for a presentation?
We would send you a title and abstract immediately.
Do you already know when the CDDLM session is scheduled in Athens?
Greetings
Thomas

We'd be delighted to offer you a slot to present. How much
time do you
need? We are looking forward to learn from your results.
Thanks,

Dear Dejan,
we will attend GGF16 in Athens and wonder whether you would
be willing
to give us a chance for a presentation about the Askalon
Grid resource
management system at a CDDLM meeting?
Here is what we could report on:
We have designed and implemented a Grid activity registration, deployment and provisioning framework which handles dynamic registration, automatic deployment and and on-demand provision of software components. We separately provide registry services for component types (abstract descriptions) and actual deployed software. Application developer provides abstract description of application components in the Grid workflow application, which then mapped at runtime to actually deployed components. This mechanism shields the Grid from workflow application developers. This framework is an extention of
our existing
Grid resource management system. In the resource management system, we provide automatic
discovery and
brokerage of Grid resources along with advanced reservation and negotiation mechanism. Now the system covers not only physical resources but logical resource (like software components) as well. Currenly we are working on the semantic enhancement of our
system with
ontologies.
Our system is running on the Austrian Grid and is being used for a variety of real world applications.
I believe our system contains some very relevant ideas for
CDDLM and
may stimulate some interesting discussion.
