Hi team,
and had not seen any comment to Andrew’s document?
- I haven't seen any real comments to the GES rendering document either.
Yeah that was my idea with the factsheet, which had the views of both documents merged - but this was ignored and now we have again our two fronts...
We will *always* have the two front, but I'll give my views later during the teleconference. Anyway I should point out that during the last call there was no time left to discuss anything else, which in my opinion was fine anyway because we had the opportunity to understand the "GES realization via existing specification" document quite well.

Hi team,
- 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).
FYI: I did an excerpt of this standard yesterday, I put it on gridforge for those that seek a short insight: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.pgi-wg/doc man.root.input_documents.execution_service/doc15635 So far, it looks like a reasonable good emerging standard lacking implementations I guess - but yet another JSDL extension... :-) 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.

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...
