Thanks Raj, Yes, "allocation" should be added to the list of functions/services including "reservation and deployment." Good catch! However, based on the recent architecture development, OGSA-WG has moved these services under "Execution Management Services" and made "Resource management" as general management framework. See my keynote slides: http://www.ggf.org/GGF17/materials/316/OGSA%20keynote%2020060510.ppt Now I am sure this exec summary needs major update. We will review Ravi's version in the very near future. Thanks, ---- Hiro Kishimoto Rajkumar Buyya wrote:

Hi Hiro:

Regarding statements in your document: --------- • Resource Management enables the monitoring, reservation, deployment, and configuration of grid resources according to quality of service requirements. Grids allow organizations to pool their departmental IT resources and make them available for efficient and dynamic use across the organization. ---------

"Resource allocation" need to be part of esource Management services.

How about changing the above statements to following: --------- •Resource Management enables the monitoring, allocation, reservation, deployment, and configuration of grid resources according to quality of service requirements. Grids allow organizations to pool their departmental IT resources and make them available for efficient and dynamic use to meet demands from competing applications across the organization. ---------

Thanks raj

Hi Ravi,

The attached document is "OGSA introduction" we've used for SC04. I cannot find the final version but this is very close to the final.

Since it is outdated, you need to update based on our recent major development. But I think it is good starting point.

I would very much appreciate if you could bring yours back to OGSA-WG in the near future.

Hope it helps, ---- Hiro Kishimoto

Hi,

Do we (or any kind soul willing to share) have an exec/mgmt summary of the OGSA and OGSA architecture (yeah, seems redundant but am using OGSA in the trademarked brand sense) - 2/3 pages? I am thinking of putting one together for some conversations I need to have but in the essence of "laziness" (efficiency/reuse in euphemistic terms) wanted to see if there existed an exemplar that I could use. I am looking for an editable version that I could tailor to my specific purpose (with the fond hope that it is so well written that I could use it "right out of the box").

Thanks!

Ravi
