Comments on SAGA API V.01
by Craig Lee 24 May '05

24 May '05

Dear GridRPC Colleagues, The SAGA design team (Simple API for Grid Applications) has produced a strawman API document that will be discussed at GGF-14. This strawman document is part of the "discovery process" that SAGA must go through prior to becoming a working group and producing a GGF Recommendation document. Hence, we want to get as many comments as possible on this document. It is available in txt and pdf at: http://wiki.cct.lsu.edu/saga/space/start/strawman-api.txt http://wiki.cct.lsu.edu/saga/space/start/strawman-api.pdf Comments can be made by posting to the SAGA mailing list (saga-rg(a)ggf.org) (if you are subscribed to it) or by sending email directly to Andre Merzky <andre(a)merzky.net> and Shantenu Jha <s.jha(a)ucl.ac.uk>. This document really only covers eight concepts: Name Spaces, Files, Logical Files, Jobs, Streams, Attributes, Error Handling, and Tasks. Hence, it is relatively easy to understand the overall design approach and whether it fits your design needs. Because this document specifies the API down to every argument for every call, however, it is 87 pages in length, but don't be scared off! It really has a very simple structure. Please forward this request to anyone who might be interested. Thanks! --Craig

by Yoshio Tanaka 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Dear all, "A GridRPC Model and API for End-User Applications" has been approved by the GFSG and submitted to 60days public comments. Public comments can be viewed and submitted via the GridForge Editor pages (see Forums) or: http://www.ggf.org/documents Public comments play an important part in the advancement of a GGF draft and publication as a document in the GGF document series. An active public comment period strengthens the case that the document is a useful and desired work product for some community of consumers. Please make public comments, even if the essence is as simple as, "I have read this, and support it." Keith and Frederic, Would you circulate the public comment availability to NetSolve and DIET users? -- Yoshio Tanaka (yoshio.tanaka(a)aist.go.jp) http://ninf.apgrid.org/ http://www.apgrid.org/
