Yes, it is.

The blue boxes mean OGSA related services covered by NAREGI
PSE. But they have no deep meaning.

No.
The deployment information means which machine has the
deployed application. The deployment information comes from
the application information via deployment client in
user-level service.

Mainly, Information Service provides resource information
such as a kind of cpu, os, available memory size and
software resources.

FYI, NAREGI Information Service uses DMTF-CIM (Common
Information Model) for managing the resource information.

This means that an application archive contains one specific
target. We are considering the relationship AA for source
files and AA for the binary will be managed in the Applicaiton
Information on left side of ACS box. I think it is relating
to the comments below.

Yes, of course. As we do not have a lot of information about
the capability of ACS, we have considered based on our
current Application Pool at present. We can continue to
discuss about it.

But about applying CDDLM to our deployment service, we have
the feeling that CDDLM is too complicated for our deployment
requirements, since our deployment service is focusing on a
legacy application and has completed before submitting a
job. So, we also need to consider our deployment service.

As I described above, we welcome to discuss about it. Would
you give us the detailed information relating to the
capability of ACS later?
