[ogsa-wg] OGSA EMC BoF on Simple job submission

[Ian Foster]

Hrabri:

I would think that the job submission thing we need is almost completely 
trivial, as noted in earlier emails on ogsa-wg at ggf.org: it is basically a 
"create" call, with a JSDL string; the (also very simple) WSRF mechanisms 
then address the few other functions needed. The complexities all live in 
the JSDL, not the WSDL.

On the API side, I'd strongly encourage the SAGA guys to look at the GT4 
GRAM API, as it is makes it easy to do simple things, while also addressing 
many other things like staging, delegation, etc. See 
http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.0-drafts/execution/wsgram/user/globusrun-ws.html.

Ian.
