This was certainly too short a notice for me to attend. There has been discussion in the HPCP WG on generating a Kerberos profile for the HPCBP that would support the delegation scenario through ticket forwarding. Can you please post information relating to this discussion to the HPCP mailing list when it becomes available? Thanks, Steven

----- Apologies for duplicates from the cross-post -----

Folks,

for quite a while now, the topic of "Activity Instance Schema" has been floating around in JSDL. Basically, it boils down to what is used to describe the concretization of a something that has been initially defined by a JobDefinition template and submitted to a handling entity (such as a BES container or a scheduler).

One of the use cases that has been extensively discussed in the past JSDL telecons was the delegation of a job (or, to be more general) of an activity after its initial submission. That is, how to ensure a submitted, but not running activity can be delegated in a simple, coherent and safe way from one scheduler to another.

We would like to kick off discussion during today's session on this topic by starting with a very simple delegation protocol. Herefor, I'd like to invite everyone to join us today at 3:45pm in Sarria. Although we'll also discuss other issues (such as the applicability of SPARQL to CSG), there will be plenty of time to chew on this new thing.

Looking forward to a vivid discussion, albeit a very last-minute notice.

Cheers, Alexander
