Dear all, we requested three sessions for OGF22: 1) Interoperability We have now two implementations that are able to use WS-Agreement for submitting jobs. Both instances are able to successfully extract the information contained in the Agreement prepared by the other one. Given this it is now the time to start with the OGF paperwork, i.e. discussing and preparing an initial draft of the GFD-E document describing the experiments 2) Interoperability (continuation of session 1 if necessary) Negotiation From the discussion at the last OGF and afterwards a number of people has started to write a paper on SLA negotiation. The authors will be attending the session for discussion. Based on this discussion a new GFD will be outlined addressing WS-Agreement-Negotiation 3) Negotiation (continuation of session 2) At the end of this session the outline of the GFD should be agreed upon and the responsibilities for the different sections defined to prepare a first draft for further discussion. Due to travel constraints we excluded Monday 25 from scheduling of GRAAP sessions. The final schedule will become available on the OGF web-pages soon. Please join us for discussion and work of the next steps to - make WS-Agreement a recommendation of the OGF - create a proposal for a negotiation protocol Best regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Ziegler www.scai.fraunhofer.de/ziegler.html Fraunhofer-Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (SCAI) Schloss Birlinghoven, D-53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany Tel: +49 2241 14 2258; Fax: +49 2241 14 42258 CoreGRID Network of Excellence www.coregrid.net Collaboration Gateway www.coregrid.net/cg Institute on Resource Management and Scheduling www.coregrid.net/irms
