It would seem like a good idea if some graap members would attend this bof at GGF13. Andrew's original announcement is below. --- Jim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [ogsa-wg] Proposed (DRAFT) Agenda for Basic EM BOF Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2005 16:39:16 -0600 From: Ian Foster <foster@mcs.anl.gov> To: Andrew Grimshaw <grimshaw@cs.virginia.edu>, <ogsa-wg@ggf.org>, 'Karl Czajkowski' <karlcz@univa.com>, Kazushige Saga <saga@grid.nii.ac.jp> Three comments: a) It's important to give time for other people to present. E.g., I suspect Karl Czajkowski will want to present on our behalf. There will likely be others. People should be able to sign up ahead of the meeting and get a time allocation. b) I don't see how we can require a priori that "the output of the OGSA-BEM will fit into the overall OGSA EMS architecture." I don't know what that means, and in any case, we need to see what people come up with. c) It is important to say something in the BOF description as to what we expect the scope of "basic execution management service" to be. E.g., "focused on defining Web services interfaces for job submission, monitoring, and management." Ian. At 05:31 PM 3/7/2005 -0500, Andrew Grimshaw wrote:

The objective of the BOF is to form the OGSA Basic Execution Management Service Working Group (OGSA-BEM). The output of the OGSA-BEM will fit into the overall OGSA EMS architecture, as initially described in the OGSA V1 Document. It is expected that the OGSA EMS architecture will evolve over time and that evolution will eventually need to be incorporated. Such incorporation may not take place in this working group depending on whether OGSA-BEM completes before changes are made in the overall OGSA-EMS.
