Presenters:  Guy Roberts and Stephan Schulz

This session will explore the collaboration opportunities between NSI and the ETSI, in particular for the ETSI grid/cloud interoperability event.

Wednesday 2.45pm: Web service tutorial (90 mins)

I have requested this tutorial to help NSI and other new OGF participants understand how web services have been implemented in existing OGF standards.  Due to the clash with session 4 of the NSI-WG meeting I have requested that this tutorial time be changed.
