Description
Production Grid Infrastrucuture Profile Workshop (1/2) (90 mins)
Morris Riedel, David Wallom, Ballas Konya
The Production Grid Infrastructure Profile Working Group (PGIP-WG) is a new working group within OGF that is based on the outputs of the Grid Interoperability Now Community Group. The main focus of the PGIP-WG is to define additions and clarifications of the current specifications within OGF and other standards organisations, defining new specifications where necessary, to meet the use cases emerging from the requirements of the production grid community.
This workshop will discuss the current state of the working group identifying the scenarios that are of particular interest to the group, identify weaknesses in the current specification set that makes them unsuitable in their current form for building production grid infrastructures, and showing the work that has been done to date in this working group and its future plans and timetable. Initial requirements in these areas will be discussed including the necessary extensions to existing standards, new standards and new community best practice documentation that is necessary.
The Production Grid Infrastructure Profile workshop will provide a location where the key worldwide production grid providers can discuss their standardisation requirements for the areas that will allow increased interoperability. This will include those outside the initial group that have started the effort from EGEE, ARC and UNICORE.
We have two sessions requested with the agenda as below.
