[jsdl-wg] Discussion regarding an implementation of JSDL

[Arnie Miles]

All,

I represent the Thebes middleware consortium, which is hosted at 
Georgetown University.

One of the things the Thebes consortium is working on is a job 
acceptance service that can accept jobs, translate them to DRMAA, and 
submit them to job schedulers. Our intention is to include the ability 
to accept SAML assertions to make policy decisions.

We currently use an axis web service that takes JSDL and uses DRMAA to 
submit the job to Sun Grid Engine. It is rudimentary at this point.

We're interested in projects that are working in similar arenas, and 
we're interested in thoughts from the JSDL team about recommendations, 
suggestions, etc.

Thanks,
Arnie Miles
