[ogsa-wg] JSDL Generation Tool Available

[Mark Morgan]

I have just completed a project which Andrew and I thought might be of
interest to some of you.  We are now supporting an application we call
JSDLTool which aids users in creating new JSDL documents for certain types
of applications and which can be used to create a series of JSDL files for
an application in a parameter sweep scenario.  Those keeping up with the
mailing list regarding the OGF work on parameter sweeps will notice that our
method of dealing with Parameter Sweeps is quite different and this stems
largely from the fact that we've been doing parameter sweeps in Genesis II
since nearly the beginning of the project's lifetime.  As the standards work
with parameter sweeps moves forward this tool may be retrofitted to support
the new standard as well.  In the meantime, this tool produces a batch of
jsdl files, one each for each instantiation of the application inside of the
parameter space.

Any one interested in the application can find information about it as well
as links for source code, documentation, and the application itself at
