[Fwd: [ogsa-wg] Proposed agenda for SLT discussion]
by Jim Pruyne 30 Apr '07

I see from this note that OSGA is considering SLA's and agreements. I'll be unable to attend this session as I will be travelling. Is anyone from GRAAP able and interested in attending? --- Jim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ogsa-wg] Proposed agenda for SLT discussion Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:15:16 -0400 From: Andrew Grimshaw <grimshaw(a)virginia.edu> To: 'ogsa-wg' <ogsa-wg(a)ogf.org> Service Level Terms – Monday 4:00-5:30 At the last OGSA F2F we discussed the need to address QoS/SLA’s in OGSA. The first step is to define what is meant, to determine use cases, and therefore requirements. It was noted that just defining terms is difficult and very domain specific and that solving the general problem, for all classes of service, is an open question. We therefore decided to begin with a short session focused on two specific OGSA services: ByteIO and BES. In this session we will introduce the problem, discuss the roles of WS-Agreement and JSDL, and define prototype (strawman) definitions of SLT’s for both services. Proposed Agenda: Agenda bashing Present problem Present examples for ByteIO and BES Discuss role of WS-Agreement and JSDL Next steps and action items -- ogsa-wg mailing list ogsa-wg(a)ogf.org http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/ogsa-wg

Hi: My name is Toshiyuki Nakata. One of the members of the GRAAP WG. I am hoping (if the GRAAP group mambers agree) that we can try to to describe how WS-Agreement can contribute to OGSA BES etc. So.. If you could give me a 10 minute slot in the session, I can try to point out how WS-Agreement TOGETHER WITH JSDL can can contribute to this area. ANd try to　answer any more problems we have.... Unfortunately, my English bandwidth is somehow limited, so I would need to ask some people to be patient... (Ane help/patience is greatly appreciated..) Best Regards Toshi #Jim.
