The Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA)
SAGA is a high level, simple to use, application-oriented API for grid application development. The SAGA specification describes simple API's for commonly needed operations for file transfer and access, replica management, stream based interprocess communication, job submission and monitoring, and client side RPC calls. This demonstration will show a functioning C++ implementation of many of the core packages and a usable SAGA based Grid shell.

Agenda:

1. Demo: (Andre Merzky)
2. Poster: (Thilo Kielmann)

Tuesday, February 26, 1:45 pm - 3:15 pm, Molly Pitcher
SAGA: The Simple API for Grid Applications
(Spec Adption Forum)
Responsible: Shantenu

The Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA) has been designed to provide a simple, stable, and middleware-independent API for grid applications. We start presenting the API itself (the SAGA CORE API), along with ongoing work on extension packages. Then, projects adopting SAGA present their efforts and rationale for using SAGA. (e.g., OMII-UK, DEISA, NAREGI; speaker invitations pending)

Tuesday, February 26, 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm, Crispus Attucks
