Dan, SAGA has a different scope than DRMAA. It supports a remote job execution over Grids, Globus in particular. To support that well they had to considerably enhance what DRMAA covers with support for files ( Physical Files (short: Files), Logical Files (or Replicas), and consten of Information Service (short: Adverts)), streams, security, etc. Whenever convenient they have adopted DRMAA and JSDL stuff as evident from their strawman or current API draft. Their attributes are JSDL attributes. Their execution API is similar or almost the same as DRMAAs. Regards Hrabri

Hrabri,
This may be common knowledge for everyone else, but could you tell me SAGA's intentions are with regard to DRMAA? Are they likely to adopt DRMAA? Will they embrace and extend? Will they start over from scratch?
Thanks, Daniel
