EC-GIN - Analysis of Grid Applications
by Yehia El khatib 21 May '07

21 May '07

Hello all. I am a research assistant at the Computing Department in Lancaster University, UK. I am working on the EC-GIN project, which was introduced by Sven Hessler during the GHPN session at OGF20. Europe-China Grid InterNetworking (EC-GIN) is an EU-funded project* concerned with improving the network ability to support Grid applications and services. One of the first tasks as part of the project is to study Grid applications that have been used or are currently being used in the field of e-science as well as other fields. We wish to come up with an analysis of the network demands and behavior of these applications. For this purpose, we have put together a short questionnaire (14 questions). It is aimed at collecting information about the network requirements of grid applications as perceived by application designers, developers, and administrators. As Sven mentioned in his presentation, we are seeking your cooperation by answering the questionnaire, which can be done in one of the two following ways: 1. The survey can be answered online at: http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=vlz28x01dk8elfc300530 2. The survey is also available in .doc and .pdf formats at the following location: ftp://148.88.225.74/opendir/ Please email the filled forms to me (yehia at comp.lancs.ac.uk). We are interested in your feedback and highly appreciate it. * EC-GIN is a Framework 6 STREP project. Action Line: IST-2005-2.6.5.1.c Grids China Project Reference: 045256 http://www.ec-gin.eu Best regards, Yehia El khatib Research Assistant Computing Department Lancaster University yehia(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk +44 (0)787 057 0318

Chicken Chicken Chicken

Here are the relavent links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk The paper is available at http://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf The presentation is available at http://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.ppt I suspect the author was inspired by http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/~dm/remove.pdf which was (successfully!) submitted to a conference whose organizers relentlessly spam researchers with the call-for-papers, ignoring all requests to unsubscribe from their mailing list. Do check out the figures, and also http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ which likewise lead to a successful publication. (If you don't know what this is about, you should have come to the F2F!) Best, chris

Glossary terms for Thursday's call
by Treadwell, Jem 01 May '07

01 May '07

HI, I've uploaded version 4 of the glossary - this version includes the changes for deployment and provisioning, as agreed at the last discussion. You'll find it at http://tinyurl.com/2mo6r3. For Thursday's call I propose to discuss the following terms, as time permits o State. We had discussed this, and Jay has an action to improve the current proposal. So far I haven't had a proposal from Jay, but we need to put this one to bed, so we'll have a brief discussion and if we don't have a better proposal at the meeting I'll go with what we have. There will be an opportunity to improve this or any term in the final review. o Resource, Grid component, and Service. We had definitions for Resource and Service in both the OGSA and the EGA glossaries, so we need to produce a consolidated definition. Grid component comes from the EGA glossary. I've condensed it from the original, but (hopefully) haven't changed its meaning. Rather than reproduce these terms here please take a look at the working/discussion document, which you'll find at http://tinyurl.com/23a6zd. These are the first four terms listed, and the text you'll find is a starting point for discussion. If you have comments and you're not going to make tomorrow's meeting, please pass them on to me; otherwise I'll follow up after the meeting with revised text for review. Thanks! - Jem Jem Treadwell Software Engineer HP Software 856.638.6021 office | 856.638.6190 fax | jem.treadwell(a)hp.com 6000 Irwin Road | Mount Laurel | NJ 08054 www.hp.com/go/software <http://www.hp.com/go/software>

Proposed agenda for SLT discussion
by Andrew Grimshaw 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Service Level Terms - Monday 4:00-5:30 At the last OGSA F2F we discussed the need to address QoS/SLA's in OGSA. The first step is to define what is meant, to determine use cases, and therefore requirements. It was noted that just defining terms is difficult and very domain specific and that solving the general problem, for all classes of service, is an open question. We therefore decided to begin with a short session focused on two specific OGSA services: ByteIO and BES. In this session we will introduce the problem, discuss the roles of WS-Agreement and JSDL, and define prototype (strawman) definitions of SLT's for both services. Proposed Agenda: Agenda bashing Present problem Present examples for ByteIO and BES Discuss role of WS-Agreement and JSDL Next steps and action items

OGSA-EMS Information Services proposed agenda
by Andrew Grimshaw 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

OGSA-EMS Information Services - Wednesday 6:00-6:45 The OGSA-EMS architecture was sketched out over three years ago. Since then the lowest level components, e.g., OGSA-BES, OGSA-ByteIO, RNS, have been developed, and higher level components, e.g., RSS, are under development. At this point it is time to tackle the OGSA "information services" problem. BES containers and other services have "resource properties", "metadata", "attributes", or whatever you want to call them. What is needed is a standard place and mechanism to query over the attribute space. For example, services such as MDS in Globus, Collections in Legion, etc. In this session we will begin the discussion of how to attack this problem. We invite others, e.g., Info-D group members, to attend. Proposed Agenda Agenda bashing Use case and requirements (e.g., I want to schedule a job described by a JSDL document - how do I go about finding resources.) Existing schemes and specifications is a simple XML database sufficient push versus pull Discussion Action items

OGSA Express Authentication Profile - Wednesday 1:30-2:15 The OGSA-WG has been working on an "express" authentication profile, where "express" refers to the rapidity of decision making rather than performance. The objective is to define a set of interoperability settings in the authentication realm using existing standards and protocols. A series of discussions have occurred both in teleconferences and in the F2F in California in March. Two documents have been prepared: a use case document that motivates, and a DRAFT simple profile. We will discuss both. Proposed Agenda Agenda bashing Use cases Draft profile Discussion Actions going forward

updated container/service model document
by Ellen Stokes 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Folks, I've finally updated the container/service model documents. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14004?nav=1 It reflects all comments I've received and an updated MOF per a preliminary review by a DMTF colleague from another company. The MOF still needs to be run through a syntax checker (will be done next week) to catch any syntax errors. If there are no major objections, I'd like to start the socialization process for this document with the DMTF Technical Committee. This is always the first step of getting model elements from other organizations into DMTF/CIM. I plan to ask for time on next Tuesday's DMTF TC agenda to expose the document and get it routed to the right folks / workgroup within DMTF. If we do this in parallel with the now public comment period for the BES document, this will help get these new CIM model elements released when the BES document is posted as final. Ellen

First cut at "OGSA Primer"
by Andrew Grimshaw 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

All, At the face to face I took an action to start an OGSA Primer that we would publish as an easy introduction to OGSA. Sort of a cliff notes on the full OGSA 1.5 and all of the various spin-offs. Attached is a first very rough, and not filled in, draft. My intention at this phase is two-fold: 1) Determine if this is the gist of what the group wanted produced. 2) Find volunteers to be co-authors. I mean co-authors, not people to just read and comment. Everyone can read and comment on the various drafts that will be generated by the authors. A

FINAL CALL: EMS Architecture Scenarios 1.0
by Andreas Savva 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

EMS Architecture Scenarios 1.0 finished its public comment in late March. We reviewed the public comments on a call last week and as the requested revisions were fairly small we agreed to go to a final call directly after a revised version is ready. I will wait until next week, Friday, April 27, for any last comments and submit the document to the OGF Editor after that. Please refer to the attached pdf file for a 'clean' (no changes showing) version. The change tracked version (draft 18) is on gridforge: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc12749?nav=1 I have already posted replies to the public comment tracker: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/discussion/do/listTopics/projects.ggf-editor… -- Andreas Savva Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd

Workflow use-case
by Donal K. Fellows 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi everyone I've been meaning to write this up for a while now. This is a use-case for workflows that is derived from one of the key use-cases in the EU BREIN project that I'm working on. The scenario is that there is a need to perform a complex sweep over a non-trivial parameter space in a limited period of time as part of a series of in-silico experiments: an example might be testing compositions of and configurations of turbine blades through demanding duty cycles. To realize this, there is a need for an outer engine that performs the parameter sweep and an inner part that does data management[*] and which then runs some coupled simulations on the dataset, quite probably with additional stages as well to set up things like finite element meshes and stuff like that (we're interested in doing coupled CFD and FEM codes; turbine blade design is a good example.) There's a desire to keep the amount of work done down to keep turnaround time short, and there's also a desire to manage things in such a way that if a component fails[**], it remains possible to recover and still complete the overall workflow goals. We specifically want to be able to support a workflow system that can manage multiple ways of achieving the overall goal or a subgoal; I for one want to run a test where I pull the plug on one of the servers in use (i.e. a total catastrophic failure!) and have the customer's overall SLA still met. I don't know if I've written up enough details yet. Donal. [* Our specific scenarios have the data moved to the computation for security and legal reasons. ] [** There are a _lot_ of failure modes! Many of them are recoverable with the right sort of workflow manager, but maybe not all. ]

IEEE TCSC Technical Area on "Workflow Management in Scalable Computing Environments"
by Jinjun Chen 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

It is now open for subscribing to IEEE TCSC (Technical Committee on Scalable Computing) Technical Area on "Workflow Management in Scalable Computing Environments" -- http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/personal/jchen/tcsc/WMSCE.htm. To subscibe, simple visit http://groups.google.com/group/workflows to find the icon "Join this group" on the right side. Scalable computing environments, such as grid computing environments, cluster computing environments, service oriented computing environments, peer-to-peer or decentralised computing environments and so on, enable collaborations between large-scale resources to support complex scientific and business applications such as climate modelling, structural biology and chemistry, medical surgery, disaster recovery, international stock market modelling, financial risk analysis and so on. These complex applications often require the creation of a collaborative workflow management system as part of their sophisticated problem solving processes. By this, e-scientists and e-business people who lack the low-level expertise can still utilise the underlying large-scale scalable computing toolkits such as GT4, Gridbus, myGrid and other toolkits to support the sophisticated problem solving processes in their complex applications. As such, the research and development of workflow management in scalable computing environments become a must and have evoked a high degree of interest. This technical area aims to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers from the areas of scalable computing (such as grid computing, cluster computing, service oriented computing, peer-to-peer or decentralised computing and so on) and workflow or process research to exchange the latest individual research and development ideas, and particularly the latest joint-venture and synergic research and development on workflow support in scalable computing environments.

DaWaK 2007: Submission deadline extension 1 week to April 20.
by Nguyen Manh Tho 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Due to numerous requests, the submission deadline of DaWaK 2007 Conference is extended 1 week to April 20. Apologies for multiple copies due to cross postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students. DaWaK 2007 Submission online available at: https://www.ares-conf.org/dawak/ Important Dates: Submission of full papers: April 20, 2007 (extension) Notification of acceptance: May 25, 2007 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++ 9th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK 2007) Regensburg, Germany Sept. 3 to Sept. 7, 2007 http://www.dexa.org/drupal/?q=dawak ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++ Call for Papers =================== Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery has been widely accepted as a key technology for enterprises and organisations to improve their abilities in data analysis, decision support, and the automatic extraction of knowledge from data. With the exponential growing amount of information to be included in the decision making process, the data to be considered becomes more and more complex in both structure and semantics. Consequently, the process of retrieval and knowledge discovery from this huge amount of heterogeneous complex data builds the litmus-test for the research in the area. During the past years, the International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK) has become one of the most important international scientific events to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss latest research issues and experiences in developing and deploying data warehousing and knowledge discovery systems, applications, and solutions. This years conference (DaWaK 2007), builds on this tradition of facilitating the cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, experience and potential research directions. DaWaK 2007 seeks to introduce innovative principles, methods, algorithms and solutions to challenging problems faced in the development of data warehousing, knowledge discovery and data mining applications. Submissions presenting current research work on both theoretical and practical aspects of data warehousing and knowledge discovery are encouraged. Particularly, we strongly welcome submissions dealing with emerging real world applications such as real-timedata warehousing, analysis of spatial and spatiotemporal data, OLAP mining, mobile OLAP, mining natural science data (e.g. bioinformatics, geophysics) Major Tracks =============== Topics of interest include in these tracks but are not limited to: Data Warehousing =================== Analytical front-end tools for data warehousing/OLAP Active/real-time data warehousing Data warehouse architecture Web/multimedia data warehouses Data extraction, cleansing, transforming and loading Spatial and spatiotemporal data warehouses Data warehouse maintenance and evolution Data warehousing in mobile/wireless environments Data warehouse design (conceptual, logical and physical) Data warehousing and the semantic web Data warehousing consistency and quality Data warehouse schema evolution and transformations Data warehousing with unstructured data (e.g., text) and semi-structured data (e.g., XML) Design and maintenance of metadata repository Data warehouse security and reliability Data warehousing applications: corporate, scientific, government, healthcare, bioinformatics, etc. Parallel /distributed data warehousing View maintenance/adaptation Frameworks for Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) Performance optimization and tuning Multidimensional modelling and queries Data warehousing and industry applications (e.g. ERP, CRM) Integration of data warehouses and data mining Knowledge Discovery ====================== Knowledge discovery framework and process Security, privacy and social impact of data mining Integration constraints and knowledge in KDD process Mining unstructured and structured data Data and knowledge representation Exploring data analysis, inference of causes, prediction Evaluating, consolidating, and explaining discovered knowledge Statistical techniques for generation a robust, consistent data model Interactive data exploration/visualization and discovery Mining temporal, spatial and multimedia data Data mining techniques: clustering, classification, association rules, decision trees, neural-network, etc Mining large/complex datasets, continuous data streams, sensor networks Data mining support for the design of information systems Mining ubiquitous, moving, time-series data Integration of data warehousing, OLAP and data mining Mining Trends, Opportunities and Risks Languages and interfaces for data mining Distributed and parallel data mining/knowledge discovery Mining from low-quality information sources High performance and parallel/distributed data mining Complexity, efficiency, and scalability in data mining Pre-processing and post-processing of data mining Data mining applications: bioinformatics, E-commerce, Web, intrusion/fraud detection, finance, healthcare, marketing, telecommunications, etc Paper Submission Details ========================== Authors are invited to submit research and application papers representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Word format. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 10 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices). Authors who want to buy extra pages may submit a paper up to 12 pages with the indication that the authors will purchase extra pages once the paper is accepted. Submissions which are not conform to the LNCS format and/or which do exceed 10 pages (or up to 12 pages with the extra page purchase commitment) will be rejected without reviews. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag. Duplicate submissions are not allowed. A submission is considered to be a duplicate submission if it is submitted to other conferences/workshops/journals or it has been already accepted to be published in other conferences/workshops/journals. Duplicate submissions thus will be automatically rejected without reviews. This year, we will plan to have the Best Paper Awards for the best papers selected by the PC-members. As the last year, authors of best papers selected from DaWaK2007 conference will be invited to submit an extension for a special issue of International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining (IJDWM).

DaWaK 2007 : Submission site is ready
by Nguyen Manh Tho 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Apologies for multiple copies due to cross postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students. DaWaK 2007 Submission online available at: https://www.ares-conf.org/dawak/ Important Dates: Submission of abstracts: April 2, 2007 Submission of full papers: April 13, 2007 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ 9th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK 2007) Regensburg, Germany Sept. 3 to Sept. 7, 2007 http://www.dexa.org/drupal/?q=dawak ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Call for Papers =================== Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery has been widely accepted as a key technology for enterprises and organisations to improve their abilities in data analysis, decision support, and the automatic extraction of knowledge from data. With the exponential growing amount of information to be included in the decision making process, the data to be considered becomes more and more complex in both structure and semantics. Consequently, the process of retrieval and knowledge discovery from this huge amount of heterogeneous complex data builds the litmus-test for the research in the area. During the past years, the International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK) has become one of the most important international scientific events to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss latest research issues and experiences in developing and deploying data warehousing and knowledge discovery systems, applications, and solutions. This years conference (DaWaK 2007), builds on this tradition of facilitating the cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, experience and potential research directions. DaWaK 2007 seeks to introduce innovative principles, methods, algorithms and solutions to challenging problems faced in the development of data warehousing, knowledge discovery and data mining applications. Submissions presenting current research work on both theoretical and practical aspects of data warehousing and knowledge discovery are encouraged. Particularly, we strongly welcome submissions dealing with emerging real world applications such as real-time data warehousing, analysis of spatial and spatiotemporal data, OLAP mining, mobile OLAP, mining natural science data (e.g. bioinformatics, geophysics) Major Tracks =============== Topics of interest include in these tracks but are not limited to: Data Warehousing =================== Analytical front-end tools for data warehousing/OLAP Active/real-time data warehousing Data warehouse architecture Web/multimedia data warehouses Data extraction, cleansing, transforming and loading Spatial and spatiotemporal data warehouses Data warehouse maintenance and evolution Data warehousing in mobile/wireless environments Data warehouse design (conceptual, logical and physical) Data warehousing and the semantic web Data warehousing consistency and quality Data warehouse schema evolution and transformations Data warehousing with unstructured data (e.g., text) and semi-structured data (e.g., XML) Design and maintenance of metadata repository Data warehouse security and reliability Data warehousing applications: corporate, scientific, government, healthcare, bioinformatics, etc. Parallel /distributed data warehousing View maintenance/adaptation Frameworks for Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) Performance optimization and tuning Multidimensional modelling and queries Data warehousing and industry applications (e.g. ERP, CRM) Integration of data warehouses and data mining Knowledge Discovery ====================== Knowledge discovery framework and process Security, privacy and social impact of data mining Integration constraints and knowledge in KDD process Mining unstructured and structured data Data and knowledge representation Exploring data analysis, inference of causes, prediction Evaluating, consolidating, and explaining discovered knowledge Statistical techniques for generation a robust, consistent data model Interactive data exploration/visualization and discovery Mining temporal, spatial and multimedia data Data mining techniques: clustering, classification, association rules, decision trees, neural-network, etc Mining large/complex datasets, continuous data streams, sensor networks Data mining support for the design of information systems Mining ubiquitous, moving, time-series data Integration of data warehousing, OLAP and data mining Mining Trends, Opportunities and Risks Languages and interfaces for data mining Distributed and parallel data mining/knowledge discovery Mining from low-quality information sources High performance and parallel/distributed data mining Complexity, efficiency, and scalability in data mining Pre-processing and post-processing of data mining Data mining applications: bioinformatics, E-commerce, Web, intrusion/fraud detection, finance, healthcare, marketing, telecommunications, etc Paper Submission Details ========================== Authors are invited to submit research and application papers representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Word format. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 10 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices). Authors who want to buy extra pages may submit a paper up to 12 pages with the indication that the authors will purchase extra pages once the paper is accepted. Submissions which are not conform to the LNCS format and/or which do exceed 10 pages (or up to 12 pages with the extra page purchase commitment) will be rejected without reviews. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag. Duplicate submissions are not allowed. A submission is considered to be a duplicate submission if it is submitted to other conferences/workshops/journals or it has been already accepted to be published in other conferences/workshops/journals. Duplicate submissions thus will be automatically rejected without reviews. This year, we will plan to have the Best Paper Awards for the best papers selected by the PC-members.

Late Arrival & Resource Workflow Conceptualization
by Donal K. Fellows 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

Hi everyone! I'm sorry to say that I'm going to be arriving late at the F2F. I missed my flight due to bad weather, and so I had to go onwards a day later. I'll be arriving sometime on Wednesday afternoon, depending on how long it takes to get my bags and the hire-car, as well as the traffic (though the last time I arrived on that flight, the traffic wasn't a big deal). I'm especially annoyed to be missing the Workflow discussion and the Data grid use-cases, but I'll be in the air or on the road when those are on. I suspect I'll arrive sometime during the QoS part. Since I'm not going to be in the Workflow discussion, I'll instead write about an idea I've been working on as part of the EU BREIN project. It is an attempt to produce a conceptualization of Workflows based on (abstract) Resources instead the more conventional ideas of Services, Messages or Jobs. It's specifically intended to be a conceptualization, and as such it does not make *any* attempt to define an actual language or concrete terms for things covered by the likes of JSDL or BES (or even CIM for that matter). It's much more abstract than that right now. The document so far is available in the Workflow Design Team area of the OGSA documents tree on GridForge. I was going to put it in here, but I object to receiving large documents through email and I assume others do too. :-) Alas, the style used is not very nice; that's driven by project requirements. A few things to note about what I've done with it so far. I'm fairly sure I can capture the vast majority of resources, including things like CPUs, batch queues, applications, networks, disk space. I think I can also capture the notions of reservations, software licenses. The key to this is a three-layer model: 1: Locality - represents a space in which resources exist. 2: Resource - represents something that can be allocated, and which has some kind of usage/consumption pattern. (I do not know whether access control should be applied at the level of the locality or the resource.) 3: Aspect - represents a description of a view on a resource. I've identified three basic consumption patterns, being: * Presence Required - resource must be present in the locality for the duration of an activity using the resource * Exclusive Hold - resource must be present in locality at start of the activity, is removed/hidden from the locality while the activity is processing, and is returned to the locality when the activity completes * Consume - as with Exclusive Hold, except that upon activity completion the resource is destroyed and not returned to the locality Activities gain access to resources by describing which aspects they require and in how many localities; resources are not referred to directly (though since resources have a unique name, using that as an aspect is trivial). I don't define any logic for combining aspects (an aspect's description could be bounded in time, which is necessary for characterizing reservations using the intermediate concept of allocated time slices) or subsuming them (so an Intel Core 2 Duo is more specific than an x86, but still capable of satisfying a request for an x86), though I feel that such a logic is a Very Good Idea (if furiously difficult to define). When an activity's required aspects are satisfied, it may execute, and upon finishing execution, may create further resources in one or more localities. Such result resources (which another activity may depend upon) represent the outcome of the activity, and might also include things like a transferred dataset or a deployed software system. Result resources won't "overwrite" any resource with the same name, though they may be unnamed, in which case a new (globally?) unique name will be chosen for them at creation time. A workflow is just a set of activities that presumably depend on each other (though I suppose they don't have to) and a workflow is said to be complete when no activities are enabled (i.e. have their aspect requirements satisfiable) or the action of any enabled activity would force the overwrite of one or more named resources. It is obviously possible to define a workflow that is always creating more and more resources by having an activity that only produces unnamed resources; don't do that! :-) A few examples of actions: * Simple job execution: the action requires aspects from a single locality that correspond to the resources and application name/version that you'd expect based on a JSDL description of the job. * Dataset transfer: the action requires an aspect that corresponds to the dataset in the source locality, and another aspect that corresponds to sufficient free disk space in the target locality. If using some sort of network reservation, requiring an aspect for bandwidth from the locality/ies representing the network between the source and the target is a good idea. * Distributed metacomputing: the action is like a simple job execution on several distinct localities, and quite possibly with some extra requirements on the network locality/ies for bandwidth and/or latency. Known open questions: * Undeployment of resources that are not typically Consumed. * Access control (especially the locus of AuthZ decisions). * Whether localities are themselves resources. * How good the model of reservations is! * Whether localities need to be referred to explicitly by actions and how localities and action aspect requirements interact in the description of actions. * How much quality-of-service can be described as aspects on suitable resources. Feedback is definitely welcome on this idea, which is definitely an example of a product of the half-bakery. But I think it has merit (especially as it is not the same as either Orchestration or Choreography as I understand it; I expect these ideas to instead complement more standard workflows) especially when applied to the sorts of things which come up on the Grid. Acknowledgements: This is purely my own work, but many people were responsible for the forment of ideas from which it sprang. The following people are especially notable: * Jay Ungar, who started me thinking about abstract resources and workflows * Dean Kuo and Viktor Yarmolenko at Manchester, who started me thinking about abstract actions and reservations * My colleagues from the BREIN project, especially from the Agents group at the University of Hohenheim, who helped me understand what sorts of abstractions are needed in (some kinds of) workflows Hmm, this message has turned out to be rather longer than I originally anticipated! My apologies. Donal Fellows (stuck overnight in Amsterdam, on the grounds that it is less awful than being stuck in JFK).

Announcing Reference Model WG
by Strong, Paul 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

All, Following the Birds of a Feather meeting at OGF19 and approval by the GFSG last week, we are delighted to announce the creation of the Reference Model Working Group of the OGF. This group will build on the OGSA Glossary and the EGA Reference Model, a model that allows the description of grids (services and resources) and how they can be managed, in terms of an intuitive set of components, relationships and life cycles. We will be formalizing this work in UML, comparing and mapping to extant OGF and external standards, and exploring additional representations (RDF/OWL) and serializations (RDFXML, SML etc.). More details about our goals can be found at http://www.ogf.org/gf/group_info/view.php?group=rm-wg. For those of you who are interested please do join the working group. You can subscribe to the email alias here - http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/rm-wg, or access the project in GridForge here - http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/projects/rm-wg. Our first meeting will be by telephone conference call on Weds 21 March 2007, at 3PM GMT, 8AM PDT, 11AM EDT (Note US daylight savings has kicked in earlier this year). Call in details will be on the group Wiki here - http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.rm-wg/wiki/HomeP age. We look forward to your joining us for what promises to be and interesting and challenging project! Regards David Snelling and Paul Strong Co-Chairs, Reference Model Working Group

I happen to think standardizing on such a >> mechanism may be more important when using message-level security, >> but that may require some additional work as you mention. Very interesting. I had no idea that the OGSA BSP-Core was specifically motivated for SSL/TLS transport level security. I had just assumed that the profile was primarily addressing an intuitive approach for communicating key/certificate information to clients for use in SOAP message-level secure commmunication. (The words "SSL" or "TLS" never appear in the document, and "transport" appears once in line 107 in a manner that would appear to be descriptive of the OGSA BSP-SC profile, rather than the Core profile.) In fact, it seems that the OGSA HPC Basic Profile document made the same initial assumption that I did, as it reads: Note: The OGSA Basic Security Profile 1.0 - Core specification is not used as that addresses the binding of key information to an endpoint reference [in WS-Addressing], which is not relevant when using transport layer security. This further evidences the need for more specificity in the BSP-Core profile for the intent-of-use of the embedded key (cert) information. (For example, a client may want to see two certificates within the endpoint references that it consumes: one to verify the SSL/TLS endpoint, and the other to authenticate the individual, possibly-mobile, remote resource.) We would suggest that the OGSA BSP-SC be updated to explicitly reflect this interaction with the (proposed updates to the) BSP-Core; specifically that there must be agreement between any such server subject-(alt-)names in embedded EPR key/cert information that is specified for transport endpoint verification. By doing this, the application of these two profiles would explicitly address your original tranport security motivations. -Duane

I added a link on the wiki page https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.ogsa-wg/wiki/OGSAW… yesterday for an article that seems germane "Grid Service Orchestration Using the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)". The link underneath that title is to the official repository for the PDF, which is only available to subscribers to the Springer Digital Library. If you're not such a subscriber, the author has placed a copy here http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/w.emmerich/publications/JoGC/Workflow/bpel.pdf for us to look at. Best, chris

Ethnographic Study of the OGSA-WG
by Hiro Kishimoto 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi all, As many of you already know, OGSA-WG was approached by a researcher in the department of sociology at the University of Chicago. He asked us to participate in an ethnographic study of the standards building process. His profile and the latest proposal is on the wiki page: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/wiki1717 I spoke with him in detail to understand his intent and expected output and believe it is in our best interest to allow him to proceed with his study. He will provide anonymous information about voluntary based grass root culture that may help us become more productive and increase participant satisfaction in the future. The OGF Board and GFSG has already given permission and I want to ask for all OGSA-WG members' permission to allow this study to occur. It is almost one year study he will join our F2F meetings and telephone conferences. I believe it is very non-obtrusive in nature. If at any time we would like to stop his observation, we just tell him. He will stop and continue at a later date, or stop altogether. Although there is no objection against his study at the last Thursday call, based on our common practice, I will ask on the mailing list if any of you have any concerns, please let me know by email by the next Friday, March 9th. Hearing none, I will give him the green light to proceed. Best Regard, -- Hiro Kishimoto

Glossary definitions: Provisioning & deployment
by Treadwell, Jem 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi, On a recent call we agreed to provide a definition of provisioning that is reasonably high-level and in keeping with general industry usage, and to provide examples of specific usage. I also took the action of determining how deployment is used in OGSA and the reference model, and determining whether we should keep it as a glossary term. The answer is that deployment is used frequently and casually, and in keeping with its dictionary definition. I do think we should include it in the glossary. Below is what I propose. Comments & suggestions are welcome as always, but please remember that the intent is to avoid being too specific. I'd like to wrap this up on Monday's call. Provisioning (and Deployment): Provisioning is the act of putting a resource or set of resources into a state such that it is available for use by a consumer of the service or resource it supplies. Depending on the context of the operation, the provisioning process might include activities such as reservation and allocation. The term "provisioning" is commonly used in conjunction with or as an alternative to deployment. In contexts where the two are used together, provisioning is often regarded as the high-level process of gathering and readying all the necessary resources, while each lower-level process, such as allocating a server or installing and starting a software component, is referred to as deployment. Both terms may have more specific meanings in particular contexts. For example, EMS defines both terms and regards provisioning as a heavyweight operation that instantiates operating environments and may take substantial time, while deployment is regarded as a lightweight activity that may simply place a dataset or an application on an already-provisioned resource. Deployment: See provisioning. Thanks! - Jem ________________________________ 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>

Security Web Service Specifications
by Nate Klingenstein 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Everyone, I mentioned on the call today that the Liberty Alliance effort has defined ID-WSF, a web services framework for identity management functions that may be useful to OGSA. It allows for fairly powerful identity management and integrates well with SAML and others. http://www.projectliberty.org/resource_center/specifications/ liberty_alliance_id_wsf_2_0_specifications I think it's also worth taking some time to analyze WS-Trust, a specification that intends to generalize security token exchange. http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/specification/ws-trust/ I'll just set these out for informational purposes right now without making any particular recommendations. These could both feed into profiling efforts surrounding WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation. As you read this, I'd ask you to please keep a mental distinction between protocol and token format. Thanks for your time, Nate.

FW: About the presentation Workflow thoughts OGF19
by Andrew Grimshaw 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

All, I received this email last week. It is apropos tomorrows discussion. A -----Original Message----- From: Adam Belloum [mailto:adam@science.uva.nl] Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 5:55 PM To: grimshaw(a)cs.virginia.edu Subject: About the presentation Workflow thoughts OGF19 Dear Prof. Grimshaw I got the slides of the presentation entitled workflow thought from Cees de Laat. He send them to me because he knows that we are trying to the develop a workflow management system which work in Grid environment, and we have recently developed a prototype where the engine of the workflow Is implemented as WSRF service. Attached are the slides workflow thoughts with some comments from various members of our group. I also attach the slide which explain the architecture we have implemented, I have browsed the document about the OGSAT EMS Architecture mentioned in the presentation (OGSAT EMS Architecture Scenarios Version 1.0 (draft 017) ) and I have found a number of similarity between what our implementation and the EMS architecture described in this document. I'm sure that are a lot of other documents produced by the OGSA working group that will be interested to read and can help us understand more about the effort of workflow investigation in the OGSA working group. You might have a couple of links to more OGSA documents or the name of the persons we can contact to further see how we can contribute to this effort. Kind regards Adam Belloum

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

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

Minutes of OGSA-WG Thursday morning slot 1 security discussion 15 Feb 2007
by Alan Sill 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

OGSA WG teleconference Thursday 15 Feb 2007 Slot 1, -7:00-08:00 Centtral US time Attending: Hiro Kishimoto Andreas Savva Andrew Grimshaw Alan Sill 1) Early discussion (10 min) Note taker assignment - Alan Sill Roll call - as above Agenda bashing - Andrew suggested an alternate agenda / list of topics as in 2) below: 2) Security discussion (Alan Sill and Andrew Grimshaw 50 min) OGF19 security session minutes approval - https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14164 Deferred due to current lack of quorum. Security action item review also referred to later meeting. Andrew proposed the following topics for further work and discussion a. Need for short-term decision on basic client authentication. b. Need for rapid agreement on how to indicate authentication methods that are supported by a service. c. Longer term discussion on authentication and delegation (OGSA- AuthN/AuthZ). d. Discussion on HPC profile in context of above. This is a long-term list, so discussion can only start here. Andrew explained that the HPC profile group included username/ password access to allow for the range of practice that they saw in use in clusters used in industry. The underlying systems in use in industry often use this in preference to other mechanisms (X.509, Kerberos, etc.) that are available. Alan agreed that this is valuable input. One approach would be to accept the HPC profile as input into the OGSA-AuthN Community Practice document, along with input from the Levels of Assurance RG. The goal at hand is to define the relationship between various security approaches and profiles and the OGSA definition of keys and tokens to be used in web services. GSI appears to be the base for implementations of most academic and large-scale international grids (EGEE, LCG, Open Science Grid, etc.) for access to both pre-WS and WS- based grid services. A short-term action item would be to locate and document the standards that underly such implementations. Other near-term action items: - Andrew will contact Ian Foster to obtain references for any standards or implementation reference documents that underly GSI and GRAM4. - Alan will contact Jim Basney to find references he referred to in the OGSA-AuthN OGF-19 session. Hiro proposed moving the security discussions to Monday afternoons (Central time) to enable wider participation. This was agreed.

Proposed agenda for Feb. 15th call
by Hiro Kishimoto 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi all, The following is a proposed agenda for OGSA-WG telecon on Feb. 15th Thursday from 7am - 9am (CST). We subdivide the call into two 1 hour slots.

Can you remind me of the phone numbers for this morning's call? THey do not seem to be in my calendar. Organization of this morning's Internet2 networking meeting is taking more time than I thought, and the start of that meeting has been moved to 8:30 central, so I will only be able to join this morning for a short time, I'm afraid.

Comment re Ref Model and SysML
by Strong, Paul 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

All, On the call yesterday I mentioned that SysML, a UML Profile focused on systems engineering might be interesting. Upon investigation it appears too focused on hardware systems (automotive and such like) to be useful for the reference model work. I thought they might mean systems engineering in the sense of data center and computer systems engineering (extending beyond software). It does not seem to. Cheers Paul

IFIP/IEEE Workshop on End-to-end Virtualization and Grid Management 2007 - Preliminary CfP
by Masum Hasan (masum) 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on End-to-end Virtualization and Grid Management EVGM'07 October 29-30, 2007 Silicon Valley, California, USA Part of Manweek 2007: http://www.manweek.org <http://www.manweek.org/> PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS Virtualization allows layer n (upper layer) to function independently and effectively without being intrinsically tied to layer n-1 (lower layer). In OS virtualization, guest operating systems are isolated from physical computational resources. In server virtualization, application servers are isolated from physical server resources. In network virtualization, network services or applications are isolated from physical network resources. One of the major features of Grids is the sharing of heterogeneous resources, which can be facilitated by various levels of virtualization. In other words, Grids should provide holistic or end-to-end virtualization. It is obvious that proper resource management is key to providing effective virtualization. However, resource management for virtualization is a challenge (as opposed to typical resource management) in that there is no trivial way of virtualizing resources and presenting virtualized resources to the upper layers. It is even a bigger challenge when end-to-end (E2E) virtualization is considered, for example, when OS and server virtualization interplay with storage and network virtualization for providing an effective E2E virtualized environment. This workshop will offer a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and experiences on problems, challenges, solutions and potential future research, as well as development issues, in this new field of E2E Virtualization and Grid Management. In addition to paper presentations, the workshop provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate through panels and group work. The authors are encouraged to submit original papers on topics related to the concepts described above, including, but not limited to: * OS resource management for virtualization (OS Virtualization) * Server resource management for virtualization (Server Virtualization) * Application resource management for virtualization (Application Virtualization) * Storage resource management for virtualization (Storage Virtualization) * Network resource management for virtualization (Network Virtualization) * Network Management resource management for virtualization (NM Virtualization) * Heterogeneous Grid VO resource management for virtualization (Grid Virtualization) * Interplay of various virtualization layers * Virtual resource scheduling * Virtual resource discovery * Virtual resource monitoring * Virtualization in clusters and high-performance computing environments * Virtualization for ERP, CRM, Healthcare, Financial applications Workshop Co-chairs Silvia Figueira, Santa Clara University, USA Masum Z. Hasan, Cisco, USA Important Dates Submission deadline: May 13, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 6, 2007 Camera-ready: August 2, 2007 Paper Submission Authors are requested to submit either long or short papers, strictly in LNCS format: - Long papers (up to 10 single-spaced single-column pages) - Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 4 pages) Submissions exceeding the above mentioned page limits will not be reviewed. Papers must be submitted electronically through the JEMS conference management system at https://jems.sbc.org.br/evgm2007 (only PDF files are permitted). --Masum http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~zmhasan/ <http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~zmhasan/> http://wwwin-people.cisco.com/masum/ <http://wwwin-people.cisco.com/masum/> (Intranet)

Additional items for OGSA Authentication BOF
by Alan Sill 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Discussion after the BOF meeting has brought forward the following items related to the OGSA AuthN topic: 1) In addition to describing community practices for existing methods of authentication, a desire exists to put forward an assessment or evaluation of these with respect to each other and/or other methods that might be proposed. This comparison should include the following: - conformance to existing external standards vs. need for additional documentation - existing implementations (characteristics, number, etc.) - performance factors (payload size, communication handshake frequency, etc.) - requirements in terms of component and/or certificate distribution prior to use This evaluation can either be done as a separate document or be incorporated into one of the other defined document outputs of the group. Thoughts, reactions and additional factors for the evaluation are welcome. 2) The group needs an additional chair if approved. Volunteers are welcome. (If enough people volunteer as chair, maybe I can just contribute as an author!) Thanks for everyone's contributions and for the feedback.

Ethnographic Study of the OGSA-WG
by Zack Kertcher 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Dear OGSA-WG Member: Following the session today—and for those of you who did not attend the 4PM session—I would like to provide additional details about my ethnographic research of the OGF. My name is Zack Kertcher and I am a researcher in the department of sociology at the University of Chicago. I am conducting a study that will look at the ways in which the grid community works to standardize grid technology. The primary motivation for this study is that despite a well established sociological tradition that examines science and technology, we know very little about the social underpinnings of open standardization, and, particularly, of standardization efforts that involve such a culturally and socially diverse community as the OGF. The OGSA-WG was selected to participate in the study based on a number of criteria, particularly for its significance to the standardization efforts. The research involves ethnographic observations of your group, in addition to two other groups of the OGF, as well as interviews with 30-50 selected members of the OGF community. This collected information will be used in published research as well as in academic presentations. (If you are unfamiliar with this type of research, "Epistemic Cultures: How the Sciences Make Knowledge" http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/KNOEPI.html is a good example). The ethnographic observational component of the study includes a continuous documentation of the interactions of members of the work groups throughout the duration of the study, for approximately one year. Attending public meetings, listening to telephone conferences of the work group, and subscribing to the public mailing list all serve this purpose. Participation of the work group in the study is on a purely voluntary basis. Members of the studied work groups are entitled to a free copy of the study report that summarizes the study and its key findings. The study report is expected to be available at the beginning of 2009. You may also choose to receive a copy of the full study. I will send an email to you through the OGSA-WG’s list server when the report is available. If at any time and for any reason, you prefer your participation in the work group not to be documented, you are free not to. If at any time you would like to stop the observation, please tell me. We can stop and continue at a later date, or stop altogether. As a part of the study I would like to tape record the interaction of the work group so as to make sure that I remember accurately all the information discussed, especially the technical details. Note that pseudonyms will be used to mask the identity of work group members, as well as the name of the work group. The recordings will only be used by me. These data (including my typed notes) will be stored securely and encrypted to avoid a potential breach of confidentiality. If you prefer the work group be observed without you being taped, or if you would like me to turn off the tape at any point just let me know. If you have questions you may contact me at: Zack Kertcher Department of Sociology, University of Chicago 1126 East 59th Street Chicago, Illinois 60637 Phone: (773) 493-3360 Mobile: (773) 931-6227 Email: kertcher(a)uchicago.edu If you have any questions about your rights as participants in this research, you can contact the following office at the University of Chicago: Social & behavioral sciences institutional review board University of Chicago 5835 south Kimbark - Judd 121 Chicago, Il 60637 Phone: (773) 834-7835 Fax: (773) 834-8700 Email: sbsirbwise(a)listhost.uchicago.edu Thank you for your participation.

Here's data for AI-0115a: Ellen will send out the link to a DMTF feedback template form. The following link articulates the DMTF feedback policy (which one must accept before returning feedback)...it's tied into their IPR policy. http://www.dmtf.org/standards/feedback/ Once you've clicked on the acceptance box, you're presented with the feedback form... I've attached a PDF of the feedback policy and acceptance forms for your convenience. Ellen

Re: [ogsa-wg] [ogsa-authn-bof] Authentication in OGSA
by Dave Berry 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Alan, What do you mean by "access" to HPC resources? There are several possible scenarios hidden behind this word. Here are some. 1. The ability to log in to the remote HPC resource (e.g. using GSISSH) to compile code and perform other activities. This might be required for application developers (although I'd argue that virtualisation should be used to remove this need). 2. The ability to submit arbitrary jobs for remote execution on a remote HPC resource, without a login capability per se. This is the "traditional" HPC case. 3. The ability to use a portal (or other user-friendly system) that provides a small set of applications that the portal runs on a remote HPC resource. This is becoming common as Grid spreads beyond the traditional HPC community. In the third case, note that no users have the ability to run arbitrary code on the HPC resource, so the threat from stolen or misused authentication is considerably reduced. Another question is where the vulnerability lies in each scheme. It is well known than passwords are subject to various attacks including trojans and cracking. On the other hand, I'm told that certificates can be snooped and copied by system administrators (at least in some implementations). There are organisations where this would be considered an unacceptable security risk. Finally, the big problem is that certificate management is currently way too complicated for many users. Perhaps this will disappear with the advent of better tools (Infocard maybe?) but at present I am involved with several Grid projects where any attempt to impose GSI will doom the project. This has been well documented from other cases too.

FYI: OGF19 OGSA-related sessions
by Andreas Savva 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

For convenience I have added the OGSA-WG OGF19 sessions to the OGSA-WG online calendar. I have also added a few other OGF19 sessions that are related to recent discussions. You can look at the OGSA calendar through gridforge: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/linkedapplication/do/viewLinkedApplication/p… or http://tinyurl.com/krhe3 (I'll try to make sure this calendar is up to date but you should still check the real OGF19 schedule for any last minute changes.) -- Andreas Savva Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd

Authentication in OGSA
by Andrew Grimshaw 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

All, On this mornings call I volunteered to see what was up with the HPC profile working group with respect to authentication. Recall that we need some sort of authentication story in the short run or we cannot put together any form or realistic, cross-organizational, compute grids with BES, or for that matter data grids using RNS/ByteIO. Attached is a short white paper from the HPC Profile WG (or maybe just the three authors). It is BES-specific, but I think the ideas may be generalized to a broader set of OGSA services. I think we should consider it, or something like it. Note that it does NOT deal with the ultimate authentication and delegation problem that we will face. Rather, I personally (speaking only for myself, and not even the people in my research group) think that this sort of solution is a stop gap that we can use for awhile, and that we will ultimately deprecate in favor of whatever comes out of the OGSA-Authentication WG. So, for your reading pleasure - and with my thanks to Marty for giving me a copy. A Andrew Grimshaw Professor of Computer Science University of Virginia 434-982-2204 grimshaw(a)cs.virginia.edu

Needs and requirements for Quality of Service in the Grid (BoF)
by A.S.McGough 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

All, At the last OGSA f2f meeting I was asked to arrange a BoF meeting at the next OGF meeting on Quality of Service. This has been arranged for OGF19 on Thursday afternoon at 4pm. I'd like to solicit support for this BoF in two forms. First of all requesting that people attend this BoF if they feel they have any interest in the area of QoS. The second is to seek people to present ideas at the BoF. The intention is to discover what if anything OGF should be doing about QoS. I'm keen for presentations on what people feel is needed for QoS and also people with existing solutions to the issue of QoS in the Grid. Please let me know if you have anything which may be suitable. Many thanks, steve.. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr A.

Call for papers -- GSEM2007
by Jinjun Chen 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

The 4th International Conference on Grid Services Engineering and Management - GSEM 2007 University of Leipzig, Germany, 24 - 26 September 2007 http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/conferences/gsem2007 The Grid has emerged as a global platform to support on-demand virtual organizations for coordinated sharing of distributed data, applications and processes. Service-orientation of the Grid also makes it a promising platform for seamless and dynamic development, integration and deployment of service-oriented applications. The applica-tion components can be discovered, composed and delivered within a Grid of services, which are loosely coupled to create dynamic business processes and agile applications spanning organizations and computing platforms. The technologies contributing to such Grids of services include Service-Oriented Computing, Agent Technology, Semantic Web, Grid Computing, Software Engineering, and Business Process Technology. The GSEM 2007 conference aims at presenting and discussing the impact of the latest theoretical and practical results from the above-mentioned technological and research areas on the engineering and management of Grid services and service-oriented applica-tions. The conference provides a platform for bringing together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields and interests, and those looking for new business and research coop-eration opportunities in the above areas. Building on the three successful predecessors in 2004, 2005, and 2006, GSEM 2007 takes place from September 24 to 26, 2007 in Leipzig in the context of SABRE 2007. The topics of the conference include all areas related to grid service engineering and management, including but not limited to: * Modelling, description and discovery of services on the Grid * Deployment, packaging, and distribution of Grid services * Grid service architectures, infrastructures and deployment environments * Software engineering for Grid service creation, development, and generation * Service provisioning and Quality of Service for Grid services * Workflow planning and composition for Grid services * Service level agreement negotiation and contracting * Adaptive management, coordination, monitoring and control of Grid services and applications * Formation and management of virtual organizations * Intelligent services and Grid service agents * Security, performance and reliability engineering in service Grids * Testing and benchmarking of grid services * Grid service business models and applications * Standardization aspects We invite original research papers, work-in-progress reports, and industrial experiences describing advances in the above areas that have not been published previously, nor already submitted to other conferences in parallel with this conference. Full papers must not exceed 15 pages and follow the author instructions of Springer-Verlag. All papers should be in PDF or PostScript format. The paper should have a cover page, which in-cludes a 200-word abstract, a list of keywords, and author's e-mail address. Authors should submit a full paper via electronic submission available on the conference Web site. All papers submitted for GSEM'07 will be peer-reviewed and similarly to the previous years, accepted papers are planned to be published in a special proceedings by Springer Verlag. A selection of high quality papers will be invited to submit extended and en-hanced versions of their papers to the upcoming special issue of a major international journal. Important Dates Submission of Papers: March 12, 2007 Notification: May 28, 2007 Final Version Due: June 15, 2007

[Fwd: Free standards - Get Your Free Standards Here!!]
by David Chadwick 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Dear All ITU just announced From the beginning of 2007, ITU-T Recommendations will be available without charge for a trial period. With only a small number of exceptions all in-force Recommendations will be available in PDF form via a simple mouse click. There is a general belief that the strategic importance of making on-line access to ITU-T Recommendations free outweighs the costs (in terms of lost revenue) to ITU. This is seen as a way to increase the transparency of ITU-T work and encourage wider participation in ITU-T activities. It is also believed that this policy will help increase developing countries' awareness of pertinent issues and help to promote the participation of academia in ITU-T work. Links to all the recommendations start here http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/publications/recs.html Links to the X Recommendations start here http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X/e Enjoy David

Proposal for restructuring teleconferences
by Andreas Savva 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

* Background At the moment OGSA-WG has 2 calls a week each scheduled for 2 hours. Both of these calls are broadly structured along the lines of 1) logistics/administration (early discussion, AI review, planning, etc); 2) one or more technical topics. * Problem Only a small core group of people join the calls for both the logistics discussion and for all technical topics. Many other people may not have a strong interest in the logistics portion of the calls, or may only want to join the calls for certain technical topics. Though the agendas have estimates for the duration of each agenda item these durations are not 'hard' and it is difficult for participants to time when to join a call if they just want to join a specific technical topic. (And sometimes topics move around during agenda bashing anyway.) * Proposal The start times, frequency (twice a week) and overall duration (2 hours each) of the calls stay the same. We subdivide each two hour call into 1 hour slots, for a total of 4 slots a week. Of these 4 one-hour slots (at most) 1 slot a week will be for logistics/administration with the remaining slots for technical discussion. The logistics slot will alternate between Monday and Thursday each week. Only a single technical topic may be scheduled to a slot. A topic may not exceed its slot duration. If discussion on a topic finishes early or is canceled then the next topic does not start until its scheduled slot time. In other words the slots are independent of each other. Assuming that for week 1 the topics are Workflow, EMS, and Info Model then the schedule could be: Monday 7 am(slot 1): Info Model Monday 8 am(slot 2): Logistics Thursday 10pm(slot 3): EMS Thursday 11pm(slot 4): Workflow (Times are in JST) Week 2 would have the the Logistics slot on Thursday. Suppose that in this example Thursday's EMS discussion finishes in 30 minutes, i.e., by 10:30pm JST. The Workflow discussion would not start early; it would still start at 11:00pm JST. So the people who dialed in for slot 3 and also want to join slot 4 could hang up, do some other work, and dial back in after 30 minutes. If someone wants to join just the Workflow discussion then they would not have to join the call from 10pm and wait. -- Andreas Savva Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd

OGSA-WG March F2F date/location
by Hiro Kishimoto 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi all, At OGF19, we have scheduled 5 sessions and we will not have a separate F2F in Chapel Hill. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc1678 We are planning an interim F2F in March on west coast. At November F2F we choose March 27-29. However, some people asks to move to the week of March 12. If you plan to come to March F2F, please let me know your availability for these date. We will discuss this date on upcoming Thursday call. I will send a proposed agenda later today. Thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto

I agree about the name - Google "SML" and you don't see the Service Modeling Language. FWIW.

Unfortunately, I will not be attending the telecon (it's a really terrible time for me!) so I'm going to have to do my comments here. The first point of note is that the name is very unfortunate, since it clashes with Standard ML. At this stage (i.e. prior to submission to a standards body) it is still reasonably easy to change the name, and explaining the change would be pretty easy. Changing to SModL or something like that would work, and not require major revisions to any documents. (This is just my opinion, but I admit to hating overloading of TLAs, since it causes trouble down the line, time and time again.) The other point of note is that there are no examples that describe how a service might actually be modelled. Given the stated purpose of the language, this seems a curious omission. It's also not clear to me whether stateful services would be modellable (e.g. so that if, in the examples from the SML spec, there was an "Enrol" operation, then it would be possible to precisely characterize the fact that success will only happen if the state of the student is changed) but that might well be a misunderstanding on my part. I was also going to ask about how to validate time-dependent properties of the service, but then I recalled that WS-ResourceLifetime makes the required information available and so reasoning there requires no new elements, assuming that the general "service reasoning" point raised above is appropriately tackled.

Service Modeling Language (SML) educational section
by Hiro Kishimoto 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi all, In July 2006, Microsoft, IBM, HP, Intel and several other companies have published "service modeling language (SML)." This is a XML based language specification and expected to be used to model complex IT services and systems, including their structure, constraints, policies, and best practices. SML is based on a profile on XML Schema and Schematron. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/dsi/serviceml.mspx This spec is still proprietary and authors are going to submit it to one of SDOs maybe early this year (Q1). Heather Kreger, one of authors, will provide one hour educational session. This session is *not* OGSA nor OGF session. They will explain but no feedback allowed unless we sign a contributer agreement form. Date: January 15, Monday time: 5-6pm ET, 4-5pm CT, 2-3pm PT, 7-8am JST, 10-11pm UK dial-in: 877-811-9717 pc: 440496 After this session, we will switch to our regular OGSA-WG dial-in and start to discuss without authors. Thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto

Glossary defs: SLA/SLO
by Treadwell, Jem 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hi, as you saw in Andreas's minutes, we reviewed a few more terms on Monday's call, in the continuing convergence of the EGA and OGSA glossaries. We decided not to include DMTF, and we reviewed "utility computing," but decided not to include it for the time being - we'll revisit that decision later. We reviewed SLA and SLO. For SLA, I've converged the two definitions by reducing the wordiness of the OGSA definition and adding the concept of payment, which was in the EGA definition. The definition of SLO is unchanged from the OGSA version, because the definitions were consistent Service-level agreement: A contract between a provider and a user that specifies the level of service that is expected during the term of the contract. SLAs are used by vendors and customers, as well as internally by IT shops and their end users. They might specify availability requirements and response times for normal operations and for problem resolution (network down, machine failure, etc.), and they might stipulate the payment and/or penalties associated with meeting or failing to meet the agreed criteria. See also: Service-level objective Service-level objective: A target level of service for a resource or a set of resources. An SLO might be expressed in units such as average response time for a representative set of transaction types, or in terms of the monthly availability of a given service. See also: Service-level agreement If you have comments please let me know; otherwise I'll move these terms into the draft document. - Jem ________________________________ 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>

OGSA AuthN BOF charter session approved at OGF-19; input on HPC profile use case and other documents requested
by Alan Sill 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Dear OGSA-AuthN BOF participants, I received word today that our request to schedule a charter BOF for OGSA Authentication has been approved for OGF-19. The organizers hope to have a preliminary schedule for all sessions available by the end of this week. In a related item, the participants in the group working on the "HPC profile" would like feedback regarding authentication specifications within this profile. For the definition of the HPC profile and what this group is after, please see the documents at the following two links: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/listDocuments/projects.ogsa- wg/docman.root.design_teams.hpc_profile https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/projects.ogsa-wg/ docman.root.design_teams.reference_model.input_materials (Apologies if the above links are split in the e-mail process, and please reassemble before following them if so.) This will be discussed briefly in the OGSA-WG overall call this Thursday. This call occurs from 7 to 9 am US/Central, but Hiro will attempt to arrange the call to bring up the security topics beginning at 8:00 am central. Finally, a note that the "Basic Security Profile" and "Secure Channel" have been or are close to being released: For BSP, from Hiro: > Modified on 12/08/2006 by Greg Newby > Status: - "ready to publish" > > Comment was added: > The standards council approved this document. It is now in last > call on the GFSG mailing list, prior to publication. > > Respond by visiting: > http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/artf3405 and for SC: > From: ogsa-wg-bounces(a)ogf.org [mailto:ogsa-wg-bounces@ogf.org]On > Behalf > Of Takuya Mori > Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 11:07 AM > To: ogsa-wg(a)ogf.org > Subject: [ogsa-wg] [update] OGSA Security Profile 1.0 - Secure Channel > > > Dear All, > > I have updated the SP - SC document as we discussed in the Nov 27 > conference call, and I think it's ready for FINAL CALL. > > Please have a look through the document. > Any comments are welcomed. > > The updated version of the profile is available on GridForge. > OGSA Security Profile 1.0 - Secure Channel: > https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/ > projects.ogsa-wg/docman.root.working_drafts.security_profile_1_0/ > doc13560/23 > > Changes: > - accepted all the change trackers > - updated the acknowledgement section > - updated the extensibility points since those of the extended > profile had been updated > - added a sentence on the extensibility points E009 and E011 > - updated Table 6 > - a number of changes, mainly gramatical errors > > Best regards, >>> Takuya In addition, there has been some discussion on the standards status of WS-Policy, but I have so far been unsuccessful in trying to come up with a current link for this. If anyone has one, and feels that discussions on this do not stray too far into OGSA-AuthZ territory, please forward it to me. (The links I have been able to find all date from the 2004 time period except for some from early 2006, which indicate that WS-Agreement was to supersede WS-Policy; those who know more please speak up.) I would like to get the above background work behind us, with a clean set of references for newcomers and a clear document list, both for existing documents and those "to be written," before the BOF assembles in North Carolina at the end of January. Please review the above and make suggestions for a working set of reading material that will help us get off to a good start with a clear vision of the standards and practices documentation/recommendation gaps that we need to fill as a group.

Service creation in OGSA?
by Dave Berry 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Dear OGSA WG, I have an action from the OGSA Dqta WG to ask you about service creation. When creating services in OGSA, how does the client specify the following properties: - Lifetime of Service - (Storage) Size - Default QoS requirements - Default (security) policies - Service Location (on which Server say) - Provisioning Do you have a common pattern for service creation, or common definitions of the above items? Currently we are assuming the existence of factory services that can create shorter-term services. E.g. in data transport, the long-lived service will create a short-lived service that manages the actual data transfer. Clients will send control messages to the shorter-lived service. This seems similar to the pattern originally encoded in OGSI. Is it still the OGSA-approved way to manage service creation? Best wishes, Dave Berry Deputy Director, Research & E-infrastructure Development National e-Science Centre, 15 South College Street Edinburgh, EH8 9AA +44 131 651 4039

Re: [ogsa-wg] Materials for tomorrows call
by Subramaniam, Ravi 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Hi Andrew, I'd echo the points raised by Steve/Ian/Donal but appreciate what I think may be your motivation for this exercise (some simple definition of workflows that OGSA services can work with). I think the key is "that which OGSA services can work with". I think a simpler approach may be to define clearly what OGSA services expect (semantics, formats) from workflow services and what control points are to be exposed by these services to allow OGSA services to "manage" these workflow services and/or the workflows they instantiate and drive. Given this OGSA would specify an "OGSA"(?) query/command interface that services would additionally expose/implement (in addition to what they already implement/expose i.e. a composition). OGSA services would then issue requests (that adhered to this standard) and get responses (to this standard) which would describe just the elements that would be required for example in a scheduling decision. A response for scheduling for example would define the nodes and connections (which might look somewhat like your example) so that a scheduler can understand dependencies. The request/command interface may also support operations like to launch a workflow, rewind a workflow etc (some of these commands may also mimic BES requests). We need a standard (OGSA compatible) way to interact with workflow engines and workflows but probably not a new WFDL. Even in defining these interaction interfaces we should be careful not to "reinvent the wheel" if there is standards which we can define a *profile* to simplify for OGSA needs. Defining, building and describing these workflows would be outside the purview of this exercise and this is where the large body of work can be leveraged by the solution implementers.

One-way SML session
by Hiro Kishimoto 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Hi all, In July 2006, Microsoft, IBM, HP, Intel and several other companies have published "service modeling language (SML)." This is a XML based language specification and expected to be used to model complex IT services and systems, including their structure, constraints, policies, and best practices. SML is based on a profile on XML Schema and Schematron. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/dsi/serviceml.mspx This spec is still proprietary and authors are going to submit it to one of SDOs maybe early next year (Q1). OGSA-WG has discussed benefits and risks to learn and evaluate this proprietary specification at Nov. 2nd call and the last F2F meeting. Benefits includes knowing emerging technology in advance and risks includes IPR issues. The authors can give us education but Microsoft's Web Services Workshop rules apply, meaning they can talk but no feedback allowed unless OGF signs a contributer agreement form (which is not permitted). My proposal is to have one-way educational session under authors auspices (most likely special dial-in but may be one of our weekly day/time slots). And then we will switch to our regular dial-in and start to discuss without authors. Please let me know your thoughts. If we can get rough consensus of having such one-way session. I will schedule it in the week of Dec. 11 or January. Thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto

Call for papers:CISIS 2007- "First International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems"-Submission Deadline extended to 15-12-2006
by Nguyen Manh Tho 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Due to many requests, the submission deadline of CISIS-2007 conference is extended to December 15, 2006. (Apologies for multiple copies due to cross postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students) Call for Papers ##################################################################### First International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS-2007) http://www.cisis-conference.eu/ April 10 - April 13, 2007 Vienna, Austria ##################################################################### To be held in conjunction with: ARES-2007 International Conference http://www.ares-conference.eu/ Aim ====== The aim of the conference is to deliver a platform of scientific interaction between the three interwoven challenging areas of research and development of future ICT-enabled applications: - Software Intensive Systems - Complex systems - Intelligent Systems Software Intensive Systems are systems which heavily deal with other systems, sensors, actuators, devices, other software systems and users. More and more domains are involved with software intensive systems, i.e. automotive, telecommunication systems, embedded systems in general, industrial automation systems, business applications. The outcome of web services delivers a new platform for enabling software intensive systems. The conference will focus on tools, practically relevant and heoretical foundations for engineering software intensive systems. Complex Systems Research is focused on the overall understanding of systems rather than its components. The ICT-enabling aspect of Complex Systems is the focus of the contributions to be presented at CISIS 2007. Complex Systems are very much characterised by the changing environments in which they act and by their multiple internal and external interactions. They evolve and adapt through internal and external dynamic interactions. The development of Intelligent Systems and agents which is more and more characterised by the use of ontologies and their logical foundations build a fruitful impulse for both Software intensive Systems and Complex Systems. Recent research in the field of intelligent systems –robotics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive sciences- builds an important factor for the future development and innovation of software intensive and complex systems. CISIS 2007 is aiming at delivering a forum for in-depth scientific discussions amongst the three communities leading to significant contributions in areas such as: - Monitoring and Control of Large Systems or Environments. - Managing the hetrogeneity of knowledge by means of ontologies - Use of Sevice Oriented Architectures for complex applications in business and industries - The consideration of Software Intensive Systems as Complex Systems - Enabling of Systems Biology concepts as software intensive conmplex systems - Knowledge management of complex IT-systems etc. Scope ========= Networks of today are going through a rapid evolution. Different kinds of systems with different characteristics are emerging and they are integrating in heterogeneous networks. For these reasons, there are many interconnection problems which may occur at different levels in the hardware and software design of communicating entities and communication networks. These kinds of networks need to manage an increasing usage demand, provide support for a significant number of services, guarantee their QoS, and optimize the utilization of network resources. Therefore, architectures and algorithms in these networks become very complex and it seems imperative to focus on new models and methods as well as mechanisms, which can enable the network to perform adaptive behaviors. Many new computing technologies have emerged as new paradigms for solving complex problems by enabling large-scale aggregation and sharing of computational, data and other geographically distributed resources. Rapid advances are being reported by many researchers and forums as regards understanding numerous issues in such paradigms, from theoretic to application aspects. Moreover, the continuous development of Internet and the construction of new infrastructures are making possible the development of large scale applications from many fields of science and engineering. To deal with complexity, we should construct physically instantiated systems that can perceive, understand, and interact with their environment – but also evolve in order to achieve human-like performance in activities requiring context-specific knowledge. This is far beyond the current state of the art and will remain so for many years to come. Therefore, many research efforts are required to make headway towards this vision. The strategic challenges are motivated by recent research in the field of intelligent systems – robotics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive sciences. In recent years, a large community of researchers has begun to realize the importance of brain-body interaction for understanding intelligence and its central role in a wide range of processes including perception, object manipulation, movement, and high-level cognition. The research challenges include theoretical frameworks based on the notions of embodiment, the dynamical systems metaphor, complete agents rather than individual components, self-reconfiguration and self-repair, morphology and development. Progress in the theoretical underpinnings of embodied intelligence will have strong technological implications in areas including robotics, actuator technology, materials, self-assembling systems. Research in intelligent and cognitive systems is an interdisciplinary field requiring the cooperation of researchers from artificial intelligence, neuroscience (including cognitive and computational), psychology (cognitive and developmental), linguistics, developmental biology, robotics (and engineering in general), biomechanics, and dynamical systems. Software has become a central part of a rapidly growing range of applications, products and services from all sectors of economic activity. Systems in which software interacts with other software, systems, devices, sensors and with people are called software- intensive systems. Examples include large-scale heterogeneous systems, embedded systems for automotive and avionics applications, telecommunications, wireless ad hoc systems, business applications with an emphasis on web services. Our daily activities increasingly depend on complex software-intensive systems that are becoming ever more distributed, heterogeneous, decentralized and inter-dependent, and that are operating more and more in dynamic and often unpredictable environments. There exist different kinds of complexity in the development of software. Software systems grew larger, the focus shifted from the complexity of developing algorithms to the complexity structuring large systems, and then to the additional complexities in building distributed, concurrent systems. In the next ten to fifteen years we will have to face another level of complexity arising from the fact that systems have to operate in large, open and non- deterministic environments: the complexity of knowledge, interaction and adaptation. Instead of developing computer-oriented systems where people have to adapt to the computer we have to develop human- oriented systems into which computers integrate seamlessly. Also, the requirements for software quality will dramatically increase. But our current methods are not sufficient to deal with adaptive software in a dynamic environment, especially not for large systems with complex interactions. We need to develop practically useful and theoretically well founded principles, methods and tools for engineering future software-intensive systems. All the complex systems depend on software that controls the behavior of individual components and the interaction between components, and on software which interacts with other software, systems, devices, sensors and with people. In other words: they depend on software- intensive systems. The CISIS-2007 seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics.
