-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've updated the OGSA Roadmap document with several OGSA-DMI working group documents, reworked the security profile sections, and made several other minor changes. The latest version is now on GridForge. I am now passing the pen on the document to Hiro, who will update Sections 7 and 8 and then return the pen to me. One new item I need more information on is the referenced documents for the OGSA-DMI profiles. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc13733?nav=1 Thanks.

Glossary terms: enterprise, enterprise computing and e-Science
by Treadwell, Jem 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi, Per Monday's call I've updated the glossary working document with the three definitions we discussed - enterprise, enterprise computing, and e-Science. The working document is at http://tinyurl.com/yb5kp2. All three definitions are below - note that enterprise is as agreed on the call, I developed the enterprise computing defintion based on the discussion (and please do note the final sentence that begins "Note that..."), and e-Science is abbreviated from the intro in wikipedia. Also note that the terms in italics also have entries in the glossary, and don't need to be spelled out here. If you have any comments please let me know; otherwise I'll move these to the main draft document before next Monday's call. Thanks! - Jem Enterprise: An organization whose primary activities are commercial. Enterprise computing: Computing to support the operation of an enterprise. Characteristics typically include: · Concentration of IT resources into one or more large-scale data centers. · Operation of enterprise applications such as CRM and ERP. · Emphasis on satisfying customer expectations through the use of SLOs. · The need to be able to deploy and re-deploy resources rapidly in response to business changes. · Attention to profitable operation by optimizing resource utilization and by assigning operating costs to business units. Note that many of these characteristics can also be found in non‑enterprise domains. e-Science: Computationally intensive science that is carried out in highly distributed network environments, or science that uses immense data sets that require grid computing. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Science. ________________________________ Jem Treadwell Hewlett-Packard Company 6000 Irwin Road Mount Laurel, NJ 08054 Phone: 856-638-6021 Fax: 856-638-6190 E-mail: Jem.Treadwell(a)hp.com <mailto:Jem.Treadwell@hp.com>

Nov. F2F meeting agenda draft
by Hiro Kishimoto 27 Oct '06

27 Oct '06

Hi all, Andreas and I have written up first cut agenda draft for Nov. F2F meeting and put it on wiki page. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/wiki1620 Please give us your feedback by email or at the next Monday OGSA-WG call. Thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday Morning (9am - 12:30pm) * Welcome (Tom Maguire and Hiro Kishimoto, 0.5 H) * EMS architecture scenarios (Andreas Savva, 1 H) o final document review * EMS roadmap discussion (Andreas Savva, 1 H) o Future EMS scenarios (capabilities) * Next generation profiles (Andrew Grimshaw, 2 H) o I would like to suggest that we discuss the HPC-profile - and whether a next generation profile should be done as well. Thursday Afternoon (1:30-6pm) * Security (Alan Sill, 1 H) o OGSA-AuthN-WG charter o other security business * Information modeling document review (Ellen Stokes and Fred Machiel, 1.5 H) o Container model document o Modeling guideline * Info model & sercice interface integration discussion (Ellen Stokes and Tom Maguire, 2 H) o Motivating example o The subject is really about the linkage between the services we define in OGSA (of course as guided by the reference model) and the information model that is exposed through those services. In general this has been addressed in the way that SNIA and DMTF build Profiles. Terminology is a bit overloaded here... the way we (OGSA) use profiles is in the WS-I sense. Profiles in the SNIA and DMTF are about refining information models to instance based models (cardinality restrictions on relationships, required and optional properties, etc) and the tie of those instances to tasks (service interfaces). We should consider how we are going to accomplish the same thing in OGSA. Friday Morning (9am - 12:30pm) * JSDL/XQuery/Info Model discussion (Ellen Stokes and Michel Drescher, 3.5 H) Friday Afternoon (1:30-5pm) * OGSA roadmap v1.1 review (Chris Jordan, 1.5 H) * document status review (Hiro Kishimoto, 0.5 H) * Future schedule (Tom Maguire and Hiro Kishimoto, 1.5 H) o Identify tasks and priorities o Gaps and holes o OGF19 session plan o Telecon scheudle
