Hello! On GGF13 I was beginning to work on the formation of an OGSA-related working group. It will deal with Resource Selection Services and tries to specify the interfaces a grid scheduler should provide to the outside world. Now, I would like to invite more people from both OGSA-WG and Grid Scheduling Architecture-RG to contribute. You can find my draft of a charter and a timetable to GGF14 here in a wiki I set up: http://h63759.serverkompetenz.net/snipsnap (Yes, this is a really ugly temporary address - it will change...) So far, the list of supporters reads as follows: * Satoshi Matsuoka, Hwang Soonwook and Kazushige Saga of the NAREGI team * David Snelling (GGF Vice Chair, OGSA) * Ramin Yahyapour and Philip Wieder, Grid Scheduling Architecture-RG * Andrew Grimshaw and Hiro Kishimoto, OGSA-WG * Various Scheduler people: Walfredo Cirne (Universidade Federal de Campina Grande), Donal Fellows (Uni Manchester), Chris Smith (Platform Computing) and of course me (Fraunhofer ITWM). I hope I can add other people to this list. If you have any questions or want to come up with concrete plans how to contribute, please contact me. Same applies of you know someone that may be interested. Cheers, Mathias -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Wirtsch. Ing. (Inform.)
