I thought the naming section was important. Was it replaced by something else or moved elsewhere?

Naming was a bit out of place in Information services and the plan is to move it to Infrastructure. We'll be reviewing the revised draft for 1.5 during the F2F after GGF15. (Friday, 10/7, afternoon). Andreas Michael Behrens wrote:

I've read the additions to the document and I like the additional alternative discovery mechanism which uses multicast. Perhaps other mechanisms in a grid fabric might also use multicast to convey information.

What is your opinion on this possibility: When a user submits a job request (via a portal for instance), the job manager would convey the request to other services which trigger the (potential) instantiation of new services. Any new service addresses are returned as part of the instantian process and are conveyed directly to the information services and others. Since the locations (EPRs or WS-Names) of the services are passed around in an event driven model, would it obviated the need for searching (discovery)?

Hi Andreas

Please find revised section on Information services for OGSA 1.5. I have removed Naming, added a small paragraph on INFOD and one on dynamic discovery and made some small edits.

Please read and either accept the changes or comment by Email as it I may not be able to make the normal call.

Thanks

Abdeslem
