Information Model: Pointer to XMatch
by Michel Drescher 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Folks, I got the permission of the PhD author to publish the link to his PhD thesis. It refines and extends XMatch presented earlier in a paper published at IOSPress, which I cannot distribute. I created a new Wiki page for the Resource Management Design Team (which should probably be renamed to Info Model Design Team anyway) and added the link to the PhD thesis, and a link to the original paper at IOS Press. The link to the Wiki page is http://forge.ogf.org/short/OGSA-WG/resmanteam I also expressed our interest in a performance study the very same group is conducting on their XMatch implementation. So when time comes, I may also add a link to that study. Cheers, Michel -- Michel <dot> Drescher <at> uk <dot> fujitsu <dot> com Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe +44 20 8606 4834

FW: GT4 GSI documentation
by Andrew Grimshaw 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

All, Recall last week I took an action to ask Ian for info on the post-WS GT security documentation. Here is Ian's response. I took a quick look and found a rich description of the API's, but have been unsuccessful so far finding the wire format schema. The overview is a good starting point. A _____ From: Ian Foster [mailto:foster@mcs.anl.gov] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 2:20 PM To: Andrew Grimshaw Subject: Re: GT4 GSI documentation Andrew: Here is the top-level link to the latest security documentation: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/index.htm l . Specifically: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/message/d eveloper/index.html#message-developer-archdes http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/message/m essage-public-interfaces.html http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/GT4-GSI-O verview.pdf. (It has not been reviewed recently, but based on a quick look only the authorization piece has been significantly changed/enhanced.) Ian. Andrew Grimshaw wrote: Ian, Last week in the OGSA call there was a discussion of security profiles. We were trying to find documentation on the post web services GT GSI, and could not. If you know of some documentation - or better yet specification of the message contents, etc., we would love to get a pointer.

Pointer to Apache Con EU conference -the week before OGF20
by Steve Loughran 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

People whose OGSA runtimes are based on Java, people whose planning to head over to the EU for GG20, may want to consider getting their jetlag out the way at the apache conference, which is in Amsterdam the week before: http://www.eu.apachecon.com/ why? Because many of the apache web service developers will be there, from both the Axis2 and the XFire/CSF teams, showing off what they are doing and how to use their tools, as will the maven and ant developer teams. Not only are the sessions good, there is a good tactical advantage of attending as you can then corner people at the conference with your problems, and follow them up with personal emails later. Its a fairly technical conference, but a fast and convenient way of catching up in a lot of what is happening in the libraries and tools underpinning all the Java soap stacks. And being in Amsterdam, just after the queen's birthday, its going to be quite boisterous. We may all need the weekend between it and OGF20 to recover -steve
