[gridvirt-wg] Agenda for Oct 31

[Wolfgang Reichert]

Hi all,
please be reminded that we start regular conference calls tomorrow, Wed 
Oct 31.

Agenda:

1. Review of the objectives
2. Request for review of the available documents
3. Agreement on the next steps

Objectives of the Grid & Virtualization working group
a) Explore how virtualization technologies can be exploited to better 
support Grid use cases 
        Define the use cases / scenarios wherein the Grid infrastructure 
is seen interacting with system virtualization platforms and making use of 
its capabilities
        Exploit existing concepts and work, e.g. DMTF, "Virtual 
Workspaces"

b) Define the requirements for integration of the Grid architecture with 
system virtualization platforms

c) Define profiles (Grid Virtualiazation reference and best practices)
 

Available documents (drafts)
a) Grid and Virtualization - Terminology
b) Grid and Virtualization - Use Cases

Proposed process and next steps
a)  Define component model to describe the related entities
        Key assumptions: 
        -- Separation of management and application logic (as in the OGF 
Reference Model)
        -- Allow hierarchie of management entities
        -- Relate to existing models (DMTF System Virtualization, Open 
Virtual Machine Format)
b) Define dataflow & interactions among the participating entities
        Start with selected use cases
c) Define interfaces
