WP3 report and session Péter Stefán Date: 8 November, 2006 Place: Oslo, Norway
WP3 in general • WP purpose: standards and interoperation • 5 tasks, all of them are running. • Participants: Oxana, Daniel, Balázs, Steffen, Alex Konstantinov, Kosice, Copenhagen, Uppsala, Ferenc, Zsombor, Gábor, Péter Stefán. • Results so far: • concept justification feedback from gLite ARC interoperability, • standards roadmap (D3.3-1), • interface survey work, • interoperability dissemination events: GGF18, EGEE06, SC06, e-IRG, local media.
T3.1 - interoperation survey • Purpose: survey interoperation-capability of different pre-standard grid middleware solutions • Challenges: • OGF-GIN, • read middleware documents and raise unclear questions to authors, • comparison table, • test-bed, • D3.1-1 due on the end of 2006! • document content. • urgent work is needed!!!
T3.2 - grid gateways • Established gLite ARC middleware (non-KnowARC result! Michael’s and Christian’s work). • Purpose: establish ARC gLite direction. • Ongoing challenges: • determine the scope of interoperability (GIS, GSI, data transfer, JM), • input from T3.1 (data models, protocols, transformation), • activity breakdown. • Related work: EUChinaGrid - gLite interoperation work (e-mail list subscription).
T3.3, T3.4 - standards • Purpose: T3.3. to build a software that matches standards, T3.4. to initiate standards improvement, iteration • D3.3-1 deliverable: standards conformance roadmap • OGF, OGSA, WEB, hopefully emerging RTE standards, commonly accepted practice • Ongoing challenges: • standards implementation feedback, • who represents this work on which forum? which are the most important forums for us?
T3.5 - policies • Purpose: mutually represent interests in KnowARC - EUGridPMA, KnowARC - TERENA, KnowARC - e-IRG and other European policy making groups. • Challenges: • get known by each other, • scanning for new policy-making groups? • e-IRG recommendations on e-infrastructures: • generic services replacing project results, • application neutrality, • interoperability and conformance to standards.
Remarks about the future work • My personal expectation: • better coordination from myself, • higher activity from participants, • better communication (say, to establish communication policy within tasks and the WP), • keep deadlines (I know it is hard). • EU and project expectations: • know what’s going on in other tasks, • deliverables on time. • Next WP meeting? Action items: who does what?
