Ravi:

You've asked to pointers to relevant standards, but to first order there aren't any. 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_GRAM_Approach.html

And some of the interfaces here: http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/3.9.4/execution/wsgram/WS_GRAM_Public_Interfaces.html

Regards,

Ian.

Hi,

 

Here is the agenda for this Mondays teleconference. 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.
