Hi Andrew,

One question could be “Is the profile as it stands complete from your perspective? At least for the focus/business areas or types of customers that you plan to implement for?”

The motivation is that depending on the verticals (e.g. financial, pharma) there may be some issue that may need to be resolved to be successful. In this way at least some target constituencies that can best benefit from what is currently there can be determined. We can also begin more targeted campaign at the OGF level towards consumers/customers/end-users and providers in that segments. Building traction in one of more specific segments may help build momentum for others.

Is there enough specificity in the profile for your engineers to successfully implement? If not what do you need?

Subject: [ogsa-wg] HPC profile questionaire draft

All,

At the OGSA F2F I was tasked with coming up with a series of questions about the HPC profile experiences to go into a zoomerang, so that an experiences paper could be generated – either for HPC profile, JSDL, and/or BES.

Here is a start. Note – comment on/add questions. Do NOT answer them!!! That will come later.

1) Will the HPC-Profile be useful to your organization/company? Explain.

2) Will you engineer your products to be hpc-profile compliant?

3) In your opinion, are there any unresolved ambiguities? Explain?

4) Thoughts on the next profile? Anything in particular from BES or JSDL (or other specification) that you would like to include.

5) Approximately how many person-days did it take you to implement the HPC-profile?

6) What would you change in the HPC-profile? Why?

Remember this is a STRAWMAN ONLY for discussion! Please add, suggest removal, or modify the above.
