[ACS-WG] [acs-wg] Service Modeling Language (SML)

[Keisuke Fukui]

Hi Pete,

Glad to hear from you! How's it going?

Yes SML is interesting. It may have influence on every XML based Grid
technology, but I wouldn't say it is parallel to the specific deployment
specifications.


BTW, there will be a presentation from NAREGI PSE at OGF19 ACS session.
I hear it will include their first implementation of ACS repository
replication. Are you interested in it?
