Dear all,
Following the two reliability and robustness workshops held in Athens
(GGF16
in February, 2006) and Chapel Hill (OGF19 in February, 2007), I have put
together a draft informational document which summarizes the state of
current
work on Grid system reliability and describes requirements
for capabilities needed to
ensure high levels of reliability in current and future large-scale grid
systems. This
document is intended to evolve into a primary output of the OGF
Reliability and
Robustness Research Group (RG). The draft summarizes work presented at
the
two workshops and includes a substantial amount of additional work that
many of us
have identified as being relevant.
The draft is posted on the RG grid forge web site* or can be obtained
from me upon
request. Please review the document and comment as you deem
appropriate. It may
also be that you can find omissions or areas of relevant work that should
be included
(that perhaps you may wish to contribute).
There will be a meeting of the Reliability RG at OGF21, at which the main
purpose
will be to discus the status of the document. If you can attend, please
do. If not, please
feel free to send email to the reflector.
Hope to hear from all of you,
Sincerely,
Chris Dabrowski.
