Aim and goals

By the end of Tuesday we have:

• A set of consolidated use cases (in the style of the EMS Scenarios document)
• Identification of which OGF (or other) specifications could apply to the use cases
• Identification of which aspects of the use cases are not currently supported by standards but could be
• Write up position paper which identifies high priority gaps and reasons

Proposed agenda

Monday 14th April

9.00 Introductions, logistics and IPR notice - minutes

• identify objectives

9.30 Quick Review of Use Cases - minutes

• Identify any common sets that should be treated together
• Existing material from ERG and other sources

10.00 Use Case Presentations (~30min) - Get the information out & identify questions NOT answers - minutes

• SURAGrid: Art Vandenberg (Georgia State University)
• Financial Services: John Easton (IBM UK) - dial-in
• Sensor Grids: Michael Behrens (R2AD) - dial-in
• Remote Instrumentation: Marcin Plociennik & Costas Kotsokalis (RINGrid & OGF RISGE-RG)
• Predictable Workflow Execution: Steven Newhouse (Microsoft) - in person
• Mathworks: Narfi Stefansson (Mathworks) - in person
• caGRID:
• ...

12.30 Lunch

1.30 Detailed Scenario Development in pairs/groups

• From the use cases develop simple sequence diagrams, actors and interactions
• Capture details on whiteboards, notes, etc.
• Identify where current OGF standards could be used
• Where is there a need for interoperability and new standards

3.30 Review & Refine (All)

• Present the sequence diagrams back to the group
• Do they still match the use cases?
• Are there areas where further existing specifications could be used?
• Assemble a list of gaps for future work

5.30 Close

7.00 Group meal?

Tuesday 15th April

8.30 Review and Q&A - minutes

• Summary of where we were yesterday,.. for those with short memories!
• Ask remote participants to dial in for additional discussion and Q&A from Monday afternoon sessions

9.00 Next Steps - Deployment

• Look at the use cases and see where current OGF based technologies could be applied

10.30 Next Steps - Standards Review the identified gaps for standards to examine:

• What would the standard do? Small steps better than giant leaps!
• Who would use it? i.e. who are the customers
• Who might implement it and why would they? i.e. the business case
• Why would it be deployed? i.e. what benefits would it bring

12.30 Lunch

1.30 Prioritse! We have limited resources...

• What is it we can do?
• What can we get others to do?
• What can we afford not to do?

• workshop report with paragraphs identifying gaps, why it is a gap, etc written

3.00 Wrap up
