Hi Ian, Ravi, I think Basic EM profile provide very simple job submission functionality based on the evolving specifications (plus OGSA basic profile). The evolving specifications, IMHO, are the WS-agreement and the JSDL spec. The WS-agreement defines protocol and XML envelope and the JSDL spec defines actual terms/attributes of document. The WS-Agreement is developed by GRAAP-WG and is now under public comment review. https://forge.gridforum.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=461 JSDL spec is now under developing by JSDL-WG and will be submit to GGF editor (at latest) before GGF13. https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/jsdl-wg/document/draft-ggf-jsdl-spec/en /11 Also WSDL style API for Job manager is nice to have. But IFAIK the API discussion is at the very early stage.

That does make me wonder whether it is even possible to have a meaningful conversation about an EMS interoperability profile at this time, given that a profile is supposed to document an established use of established standards. I believe that the interfaces developed by the Globus team for GT4 GRAM are relevant to an EMS discussion, in that they represent the result of an intensive effort to develop WSRF-based job management interfaces. Documentation is at: http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/3.9.4/execution/wsgram/ The concepts are described here: http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/3.9.4/execution/key/WS_G... Approach.html And some of the interfaces here: http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/3.9.4/execution/wsgram/W... AM_Public_Interfaces.html Regards, Ian.

As agreed at the last F2F we will be focusing on developing an EMS interoperability profile. We will use the Draft Profile template (Tom, Dave) as a reference (attached for you convenience). We encourage persons who are active in relevant GGF and other standard organization WG and people who are very familiar with relevant standards to attend these meetings to provide the right and informed perspectives and inputs. If you would be willing to educate the rest of the participants on one or more applicable standards that you are very familiar with please let me know and I can schedule some time. These would be brief overviews that would lead to more detailed discussions in future as we narrow on the appropriate set. Please send me pointers to definitive documentation on any standards that you feel should be part of the EMS profile. I will compile these as references for those who need to delve deeper.
