Hi John, The following is my question to you on Financial Service this morning. During day-one session of OGF community workshop on access paradigm, we agreed that one of major issues is an integration of Grid middleware (like schedulers) and ISV software (for example Mathworks). We've discussed how to cooperate (1) submitting jobs, (2) staging-in and staging-out data, and (3) interacting back to end-users in case of Mathworks. Although you told many FS applications are developed in-house, there are many popular ISV applications, e.g. Calypso, Murex, SunGard, MoSes, MG-ALFA widely used by FS firms. However, they are not yet fully integrated with grid middleware. I would like to know major difficulties of gridifiing these FS applications. Talk to you soon, thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto
