Dear all, For those of you who have yet to be informed, I am pleased to let you know that the OGSA-RSS-WG was approved by the GGF Steering Group early this month. The focus of this OGSA-RSS-WG is on defining protocols and interfaces for the Resource Selection Services (RSS) portion of the OGSA EMS (Execution Management Services). The RSS consists of the Candidate Set Generator (CSG) and Execution Planning Services (EPS). The CSG is all about finding execution candidate locations and the EPS all about selecting the best execution location according to a given objective function. Please refer to https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/ogsa-rss-wg/ for more information about this working group. If you are interested in the group's ongoing activities, please subscribe its mailing list by sending an email with the body "subscribe ogsa-rss <email-address>" to majordomo@ggf.org. Best regards, Soonwook
