Fwd: SAGA python bindings...
by Andre Merzky 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi all, one of our discussion topics for next OGF is (again) the evolution of the SAGA python bindings. To give some context of the current discussions, I forward the below email thread between the jSAGA group and the SAGA-C++ group, for your interest and input. Best, Andre. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: M.A. Santcroos <m.a.santcroos(a)amc.uva.nl> Date: Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 11:02 AM Subject: Re: SAGA python bindings... To: Sylvain Reynaud <Sylvain.Reynaud(a)in2p3.fr>, Andre Merzky <andre(a)merzky.net> Cc: Julien Devemy <julien.devemy(a)in2p3.fr> Hi all, I waited a bit with responding, assuming that Julien is back now :-) A short intro about myself, I'm working on grid related things at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam. Because of our presence in Netherlands/Europe we are mainly interested in gLite. Since a couple of months I've been working closely with the SAGA-C++ group (and now also formally a part of that). At the AMC we've (of course) always been interested in programmatic access to the Grid middleware, and have found that spread over multiple packages. We've used some of the Python/Java APIs provided with gLite, and we have quite some usage of the VLET API (Java). As the VLET is nowhere near a standard, we have interest in moving to SAGA. Some comments in line below.

One of the issues in the JPySAGA is the usage of the "create" class methods. Do you know the history of that? It feels very un-pythonic, and is also different than the SAGA-C++ Python bindings. >> Either way, as we do have a significant community of python users for >> SAGA, we are still interested in driving a uniform python bindings >> forward.

Good. As said, we are interested particularly in JSAGA because of gLite support. Our language choices are Java and Python, so I already proposed to assist in sorting out the python differences between the various implementations. >> PS.: you are likely aware thet OGF-33 is being held n Lyon, in mid >> September.

==================================================================== "Grid Computing - The Next Decade" Call for Papers Zakopane, Poland, 4-6 January, 2012 Venue: Hotel Belvedere, www.belvederehotel.pl/en/ ==================================================================== We are pleased to announce that "Grid Computing - The Next Decade" workshop will be held in January 4-6, 2012, in Zakopane, Poland. The workshop comprises of two and a half days of presentations, tutorials, and networking opportunities related to the Grid and Cloud computing global research and applications ecosystem. The program offers keynote talks by Grid and Cloud computing prominent thinkers as well as presentations of modern distributed computing infrastructures, capabilities and applications from users and community leaders. The meeting will also serve to build research and collaboration bridges between European, US, Asia-Pacific and other region’s research organizations. Moreover, a panel with representatives from US, European, Chinese and Japanese funding agencies will discuss funding opportunities for cross-boundary, global collaborations. There are multiple opportunities for participation and we are currently soliciting proposals for 4-page extended abstracts for presentations and posters. Submissions should be centered on Grid and Cloud applications, tools and related technologies. More information available at http://www.gridlab.org/ Key Deadlines ------------- Abstract submission deadline – September 23, 2011 Acceptance Notification – September 30, 2011 Conference Registration Opens – September 30, 2011 Program Committee Chair: Jarek Nabrzyski, University of Notre Dame Local Chair: Krzysztof Kurowski, PSNC Co-Chairs: Gabrielle Allen, LSU Andre Merzky, LSU Ed Seidel, LSU Program Committee Members (tentative): David Abramson, Monash University, Australia Giovanni Aloisio, University of Salento, Italy Ewa Deelman, USC Information Sciences Institute, USA Wolgang Gentzsch, HPC Consultant, Germany Shantenu Jha, Ruttgers University, USA Peter Kacsuk, MTA Sztaki Research Institute, Hungary Kate Keahey, Argonne National Laboratory, USA Daniel S.
