Data Architecture Document 0.6.3 on Grid Forge
by Allen Luniewski 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

I have stored version 0.6.3 of the architecture document on Grid Forge. This version reflects all changes made since the 0.6.2 version, primarily those resulting from the August, 2006 F2F in Edinburgh. Note that this should be considered an interim version since not all of the work flowing from the August F2F has been completed. Here is the link to the document: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14053?nav=1 Allen

Service creation in OGSA?
by Dave Berry 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Dear OGSA WG, I have an action from the OGSA Dqta WG to ask you about service creation. When creating services in OGSA, how does the client specify the following properties: - Lifetime of Service - (Storage) Size - Default QoS requirements - Default (security) policies - Service Location (on which Server say) - Provisioning Do you have a common pattern for service creation, or common definitions of the above items? Currently we are assuming the existence of factory services that can create shorter-term services. E.g. in data transport, the long-lived service will create a short-lived service that manages the actual data transfer. Clients will send control messages to the shorter-lived service. This seems similar to the pattern originally encoded in OGSI. Is it still the OGSA-approved way to manage service creation? Best wishes, Dave Berry Deputy Director, Research & E-infrastructure Development National e-Science Centre, 15 South College Street Edinburgh, EH8 9AA +44 131 651 4039
