Hi PGI team, as we discussed in going forward by discussing the state model I tried to sketch a first version inside the powerpoint file I put on GridForge: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.pgi-wg/doc man.root.input_documents.execution_service.state_model/doc15637 Feel free to use it and make your changes that make it easier to discuss it in the next telcons / per mailing lists. I also put related work about other state models inside it (HPC-FSP & BES). Note that I created a sub-folder called state-model inside the Execution Service folder for it. Finally, there are certainly some transitions/states that have to be discussed (i.e. sub-states hierarchy), but this version might be a good start. Let's start with the discussion then, 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.
