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.

by Keisuke Fukui 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Andrew, and those interested, I heard from Hiro that people from UVA have interests on ACS. Also, ACS is included in the OGSA-EMS Scenarios document announced in the Andreas's message. I would like to invite you and anyone interested to the ACS session at OGF19. We have one session and the session info is shown below: Tuesday, January 30 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Application Contents Service (ACS-WG) (Windflower) Session Agenda: - Introduction of NAREGI PSE implementation of ACS and Replication feature - Review adoption of the ACS 1.0 specification and how to promote it further We will cover the replication of the ACS archive as above. That's a new project in the NAREGI PSE. I hope many of you can join the session this time and have a lively discussion on ACS! Keisuke Fukui acs-wg co-chair Fujitsu Limited

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
