[ogsa-wg] Draft Workshop Agenda - Provisional

[Steven Newhouse]

A tentative plan for the workshop. Recall overall aim is that by the end of Tuesday we have:
* A set of consolidated use cases (in the style of the EMS Scenarios document)
* Identification of which OGF (or other) specifications could apply to the use cases
* Identification of which aspects of the use cases are not currently supported by standards but could be

For discussion and review on Monday's call

7.00 Group meal?

Tuesday 15th April

8.30 Review
* Summary of where we were yesterday,.. for those with short memories!

9.00 Next Steps - Deployment
* Look at the use cases and see where current OGF based technologies could be applied

10.30 Next Steps - Standards
Review the identified gaps for standards to examine:
* What would the standard do? [Small steps better than giant leaps!]
* Who would use it? i.e. who are the customers
* Who might implement it and why would they? i.e. the business case
* Why would it be deployed? i.e. what benefits would it bring

12.30 Lunch

1.30 Prioritse!
We have limited resources...
* What is it we can do?
* What can we get others to do?
* What can we afford not to do?

3.00 Wrap up
