Dear Richard,

Thank you for your kindly answer.

Currently now, we are moving some of our BES and JSDL work to compliance with the HPC Profile. And we will soon setup a cluster for the SC06 Demo.

Best Regards,

Subject: [ogsa-hpcp-wg] Some question from the CROWN project

Dear All,

After a brief discussion with Steven Newhouse when we visiting OMII two weeks ago, we decided to try and participate in the SC06 interop Demo with one service from the CROWN project (http://www.crown.org.cn), we naming it CROWN Scheduler; CROWN Scheduler is a Webservice-based service using JSDL as is job submission description language, we have working for more than one year; and now it could interoperation with GridSAM. In the last few weeks we have been trying to modify the service to follow the BES draft specification.

But there still have some unsolved questions from us, I hope you would be so kind to answer these questions:

1) Is there any demo scenario have been proposed?

[richci] We will be discussing this on our conf call tomorrow and will send out minutes as well

2) What version of WSDL should we follow to implement the BES?

[richci] WSDL 1.1. The namespace is http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/

Is there any template client for us to verify the interop?

[richci] Right now everyone is writing their own test client to test their service and then test someone else’s service so that we can get as much interop testing done during the demo’s development as possible.

3) What kind of resource should we contribute during the demo?

Shell we setup a server or a cluster at the China side and deploy the services on them, or we just setup a temp environment at the conference demo location?
