If you have not yet upload your materials, please
do so before the call.
3) EGA reference model (Paul and Hiro, 60 min)
> Discussed whether the HPC Cluster use case is too simple. Though
> some aspects look simple (submit/run) other aspects (pre-, post-)
> should provide a good target for further refinement.
>
> AI-1023e: Hiro will send out references to relevant OGF specs,
> e.g., BES and CDDLM
> AI-1023f: Paul will review relevant OGF specs and give feedback to
> Hiro for the next version of the use case slide deck.
> AI-1023g: Hiro will look at other parts of slide 5 and identify
> further possible refinements of this use case.

4) Glossary (Jem, 20 min)
> So here are the remaining two definitions that we did discuss - I hope
> these are general enough to be acceptable.
>
> Enterprise:
>
> In common use, a business organization.
>
> Within OGSA and the EGA Reference Model the term is applied to any
> organization whose IT facilities and operations follow enterprise
> computing practices, even if the organization does not have a
> literal business focus.
>
> Enterprise computing:
>
> Computing to support the operation of an enterprise or other
> organization. Characteristics typically include some subset of
> the following:
>
> * Concentration of IT resources into one or more data centers.
> * Operation of enterprise applications.
> * Emphasis on satisfying customer expectations through the use
> of SLOs.
> * The need to be able to deploy and re-deploy resources rapidly
> in response to business changes.
> * Attention to maximizing value through effective use of resources,
> and often by assigning operating costs to customer organizations
> such as business units or departments.
>
> Notes:
> - As I'm not writing in HTML here I can't show the italics, but
> "enterprise applications" and others are references to other
> definitions.
> - We will probably need to change the phrase "EGA Reference
> Model" at some point, and that is noted as a comment in the
> document.

AI.11.09.pm-b: Andrew Grimshaw to persuade the BES group that
the BES spec version used for the interop should
be the very one that is returned to the ADs to
get published
AI.11.09.pm-c: Andrew to produce a document drafting the definition
of QoS
AI.11.09.pm-d: Andrew to contact the HPCP WG regarding future
involvement to create profile(s) on, e.g. BES, JSDL
etc.
> From Nov. 2nd call.

> From Aug. 17 call
AI-0817a: Dave Berry and Jay Unger will approach groups (GIN,
Globus, etc) that have implemented practical grids and
start a discussion on how they handle data:
- how data is treated as a resource that can be scheduled
- how transfers are modeled
- how files are advertised
- how applications find files (query, by knowledge,?)
(Due Oct. 9)
> From July 20 F2F
- EGR-WG (Ravi) will contact Geoffrey Fox and invites him to

Postponed:

CIM Profile would fit in and how it would link into the
Reference Model.
AI-1023d: Paul will add more items to list on slide 6 of the HPC
Cluster use case
AI-1023f: Paul will review relevant OGF specs and give feedback to
Hiro for the next version of the use case slide deck.
AI-1023g: Hiro will look at other parts of slide 5 and identify
further possible refinements of this use case.
Until next EMS call (Nov. 2):
AI-0914a (Andreas Savva): Integrate the simple Data scenario just
presented into the scenarios document
AI-0913a: Andreas to update function names of BES.
AI-0913b: Andrew to write-up a couple of such JM functionalities

extension.)
AI-0913c: Andreas to add another scenario to use this “terminate”
method of activity interface.
AI-0913e: Andreas to separate un-deployment as a separate scenario.
AI-0913f: Andreas to describe relation between ACS and CDDLM.

AI-0831f: (A Savvva) Research RNS and probably update the EMS Arch
Scenarios document
