[gsa-rg] Use case document updated and pre GGF14 plans

[Philipp Wieder]

Dear All,

please find the updated version (V1.2) of the Grid Scheduling 
Architecture use case document at
https://forge.gridforum.org/docman2/ViewCategory.php?group_id=133&category_id=714

We plan to submit it to the GGF editorial team soon, therefore please 
use the opportunity to read and comment on it. The following things have 
to be done before submission:
- The existing use cases are quite difficult, we need to add something 
like simple job submission.
- A new chapter with "Scheduling Profiles" is needed (NOTE: Are we 
talking really about profiles in the sense of OGSA.?) A possible "Simple 
job submission profile" would include an implementation example, the key 
functions needed (only static info, simple cost function, ...).
- We have to agree on a submission date (to GGF editor).
- We have to check whether the document is compliant to the current GGF 
document template.
The use case document editorial team has set an internal deadline for 
these tasks (May 24, 2005), but comments etc. are welcome until 
submission date.

With respect to the GSA Requirements document we identified the 
following issues:
- The scheduling process has to be described.
- A gap analysis wrt to the needs of a scheduling system is needed. The 
crucial issue is to involve enough people to get a broad overview.
- Integrate Nicola's contribution into the document (see 
https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/gsa-rg/document/ProposedAddendumToRequDoc/en/1).
- NOTE: The deadline to submit working drafts for GGF14 is May 27, 2005, 
which does not fit our roadmap for this document.
- NOTE: Please note that this contains only a description of services, 
no specifications of interfaces, etc.

Best regards, Philipp.
