Morris, Johannes and all, I am not certain that the SourceForge Engine has sent following information to any other PGI member than myself, so I am sending it directly : I have submitted following review on the PGI Use Case Document, with 'PGI-Use-Cases-Review-Etienne.doc' available at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/sfmain/do/downloadAttachment/projects.pgi-wg/d... : Congratulation to Morris and Johannes for having achieved to collect these Use Cases on Distributed Data Processing (Grids). Concerning the Use Cases presented by EDGI (chapters 5, 6 and 7), I have directly : - added, inside 'Use Case Situation Analysis', the list of relevant official or de facto standards. - made cosmetic formatting changes. For the other chapters, I have inserted comments were needed. The most important ones are : - What are the software skills of users : Developers of the application which they use; Advanced users of the application; Users of a scientific grid portal or a workflow engine to launch something they do NOT know at all, but which should give them back useful scientific results; … ? - Please provide the detailed sequence of interactions between the users and the Grid infrastructure. Preconditions, triggers and postconditions are also useful. - Which parts of the scheduling are performed by the user, and which parts are performed by the Grid middleware (matching user requirements with resource capabilities) ? - Please provide precise description of resources which are the boundaries of the Grid infrastructure(s), and whose interfaces are used by the Use Case. - Is this really a requirement on Grid middleware, or rather a requirement on the Workflow engine ? I have also updated the properties of the MS-Word document.

Dear PGI team,
the latest-greatest use case document (13 use cases, 43 pages) can be found in GridForge: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.pgi-wg/doc...
If you have final comments please let me have them by Wednesday, 2010-10-06 (end of the day).
We already have given group members a long time to comment on the use cases via our review process, telcons or via the mailing list, so I don't expect any major changes.
If any comments are minor (e.g. typos, formatting, minor wordsmithing) I'll incorporate them and submit the document to the OGF editor on Thursday morning.
If I receive more serious comments I'll discuss with Johannes to schedule time in our telcon this week, at which we'll agree either to address them before publication or to create trackers/todo's and defer them to a next version of the use case document.
Finally, I would like to thank the members of the PGI working group for their great work in contributing with their use cases.
Your co-chair, Morris
