Hi,
- We will *always* have the two front, ...
... we shouldn't - in the end, all we want is interoperability and I hope we still can get consensus that makes sense and not drift off like in an IDL-like thinking where solutions come up that are not interoperable at all... Take care, Morris ------------------------------------------------------------ Morris Riedel SW - Engineer Distributed Systems and Grid Computing Division Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) Forschungszentrum Juelich Wilhelm-Johnen-Str. 1 D - 52425 Juelich Germany Email: m.riedel@fz-juelich.de Info: http://www.fz-juelich.de/jsc/JSCPeople/riedel Phone: +49 2461 61 - 3651 Fax: +49 2461 61 - 6656 Skype: MorrisRiedel "We work to better ourselves, and the rest of humanity" Sitz der Gesellschaft: Jülich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Düren Nr.

In particular, the requirement of "support -for parallel jobs" should be clarified (e.g., state clearly what is -intended by "parallel job"). - -- David suggested to check the "JSDL parameter sweep extension" draft as -it could allow describing a set of arbitrarily different jobs (for the -requirement of bulk job submission to the execution service, which is a -feature currently not supported). - ----------- - -Moreno. - --- -Moreno Marzolla -INFN Sezione di Padova, via Marzolo 8, 35131 PADOVA, Italy -EMail: moreno.marzolla@pd.infn.it Phone: +39 049 8277103 -WWW : http://www.dsi.unive.it/~marzolla Fax : +39 049 8756233
