[Pgi-wg] PGI Use Case Document: FINAL CALL for Group Comments

[Etienne URBAH]

Morris, Johannes and all,

I am not certain that the SourceForge Engine has sent following 
information to any other PGI member than myself, so I am sending it 
directly :


I have submitted following review on the PGI Use Case Document, with 
'PGI-Use-Cases-Review-Etienne.doc' available at 
http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/sfmain/do/downloadAttachment/projects.pgi-wg/docman.root.drafts.use_cases/doc16066/docr1214?id=atch4959 
:

Congratulation to Morris and Johannes for having achieved to collect 
these Use Cases on Distributed Data Processing (Grids).

Concerning the Use Cases presented by EDGI (chapters 5, 6 and 7), I have 
directly :
-  added, inside 'Use Case Situation Analysis', the list of relevant 
official or de facto standards.
-  made cosmetic formatting changes.

For the other chapters, I have inserted comments were needed.  The most 
important ones are :

-  What are the software skills of users :  Developers of the 
application which they use;  Advanced users of the application;  Users 
of a scientific grid portal or a workflow engine to launch something 
they do NOT know at all, but which should give them back useful 
scientific results;  … ?

-  Please provide the detailed sequence of interactions between the 
users and the Grid infrastructure.  Preconditions, triggers and 
postconditions are also useful.

-  Which parts of the scheduling are performed by the user, and which 
parts are performed by the Grid middleware (matching user requirements 
with resource capabilities) ?

-  Please provide precise description of resources which are the 
boundaries of the Grid infrastructure(s), and whose interfaces are used 
by the Use Case.

-  Is this really a requirement on Grid middleware, or rather a 
requirement on the Workflow engine ?

I have also updated the properties of the MS-Word document.

Best regards.
