by David Snelling 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Folks, Vivian's email has chanced and OGSA rejected her. Here is her proposal for modifying the basic profile in light of lessons learned in the interop.

use case template
by Andre Merzky 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi, attached ios the SAGA use case template, as asked for in todays phone call. Please note that we (i.e. the SAGA folx) would draft a simplier use case template iff we'd do that again, because, in hindsight, we asked too many questions which were not related to the API. OTOH, for your purpose, the question may just be right... ;-) Best, Andre. -- One week of hacking easily saves half an hour of thinking. Henri Bal

Penultimate draft
by Andrew Grimshaw 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

All, I have cut the primer down by half so that we can send it off to IEEE. It is now under 6,000 words. Needless to say a lot of text got axed. I apologize if your favorite is gone. If something must be put back in, then please tell me where else to cut. We are allowed 12 references. We had over thrity. There are many more things referred to in the paper. Currently we have six references. We can add six more. By the way, none of the specs have citations . there are too many. Instead I point the reader at the ogf page. If you care to give me the six citations you feel we absolutely must have, and where they should go. The current set is: 1. Foster, I., Kesselman, C., Nick, J. and Tuecke, S., The Physiology of the Grid: An Open Grid Services Architecture for Distributed Systems Integration. in, (2002). 2. Hunt, G. and Brubacher, D., Detours: Binary interception of Win32 functions. in Proceedings of the 3rd USENIX Windows NT Symposium, (Seattle, 1999), 135-143. 3. Morgan, M. and Grimshaw, A., Genesis II - Standards Based Grid Computing. in Seventh IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid, (Rio de Janario, Brazil, 2007), IEEE Computer Society, 611-618. 4. Myers, D.S. and Bazinet, A.L. Intercepting Arbitrary Functions on Windows, UNIX, and Macintosh OS X Platforms, University of Maryland, 2004. 5. Thain, D., Tannenbaum, T. and Livny, M.

OGSA Basic Security Profile 2.0 is now in public comment
by Hiro Kishimoto 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hi all, OGSA Basic Security Profile 2.0 is now in public comment. Please read and post your comments to OGF tracker. http://www.ogf.org/gf/docs/?public_comment Abstract: An OGSA basic profile is a profile in the style of WS-Interoperability (WS-I) that defines recommended usage of infrastructure-level standards for Grid scenarios. OGSA services are expected to use one such profile for each infrastructure capability needed. This document defines such a basic profile for security by bringing together two general, non-OGSA specific, profiles on secure addressing and secure communication. This profile can be composed with other basic profiles. In particular this profile satisfies the security requirements of the WSRF Basic Profile 1.0 and can be composed with it. The OGSA Basic Security Profile 2.0 described in this document is an OGSA Recommended Profile as Proposed Recommendation, as defined in the OGSA Profile Definition [GFD.59]. Thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto
