I have put an item onto my todo-list to incorporate our work into the document.

At this meeting we reviewed the draft OGF informational document titled Reliability in Grid Computing Systems, which is intended to be the primary output of the RG. The draft summarizes the state of current work on Grid system reliability and describes requirements for capabilities needed to ensure high levels of reliability in current and future large-scale grid systems. The draft is based on work presented at two earlier workshops (GGF16 in Athens and OGF19 in Chapel Hill) and includes a substantial amount of additional work that many of us have identified as being relevant. At this point, the informational document is scheduled for finalization by February of next year. A shorter version of the document is planned for submission to a special issue of a journal publication dedicated to OGF work--by the end of this year. Since the time frame is short, we request that you provide comments/review of the posted draft informational document by November 2. (To obtain a copy, please see below). At the meeting, different sections of the document were discussed. Matti Hiltunen volunteered to propose revisions to the deflations section and possibly portions of the introduction. Dominic Battre also agreed to provide a relevant reference for the document, which he has kindly provided. If anyone else has comments and/or contributions, they would be most welcome. The draft and copy of a powerpoint presentation given at the meeting are posted on the RG grid forge web site* or can be obtained upon request. Sincerely, Chris Dabrowski. *Please see https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/projects/gridrel-rg. For the draft informational document, go to section labeled "documents". For the presentation go to "Meeting Materials."
