[Risge-rg] RISGE-RG - OGF 24 sessions minutes

[Marcin Plociennik]

Dear All,

please find attached
the minutes of our RISGE-RG sessions during OGF24 conference in Singapore

Sessions place: OGF24, Singapore, Sep 16th, 2008


Session secretary : Costas Kotsokalis (thanks for taking the minutes)

1. First Session:

* General presentation about the group - Marcin Plociennik

- There is a presentation about RISGE-RG work during ICT'08 in Lyon, France,
during the networking session:
"Why experimental sciences require e-Infrastructure"
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/events/cf/item-display.cfm?id=712


- Contact with "Sensor Grids for Environmental Monitoring" communities,
representing Asia region
http://www.ogf.org/gf/event_schedule/index.php?id=1456


* Presentation on optiputer-based microscopy - David Wallom
  - Point on requirement for many different visualization platforms and 
tools

* CIMA presentation - Peter Turner
  - One CIMA component for the control/monitoring of many different 
instruments of the same kind
  - Still developed but not "supported", needs further work
  - CIMA not available as production software, only in CVS

=======================================

2. Second session - discussion
---------

* Proposition to extend current set of use cases, then post-process and 
try to provide a model use case within the document published by the group.

* DORII will propose GLUE extensions to the relevant group. v1.3 
temporary solution, v2.x real target.

* Suggestion to make a decision tree in the form of a questionnaire 
towards interested parties

* David suggests starting with a limited set of functionality and then 
extending even further. The document can be used to identify a few 
points that we wish to look at closely.

* Analogy of instruments to computations. Interactive steering of 
instruments similar to computational steering.

* Possible relevance to Network Measurements and Grid Network Interface 
groups' work. Good idea to look into them?

* Need to make the document more coherent and condensed. Related 
work/experience in the field can go to appendices and be further 
shortened. Clarifications/modifications to be solicited from the people 
who have provided use cases so far.

* Functional reqs of the NMR case can be presented as UML use case diagrams.

* Suggestion is to produce a model use case based on these, then convert 
RINGrid model use case to this format, and merge.

* Have a look through current groups and identify the ones to have a 
discussion with and may be able to affect (e.g. GLUE, ByteIO, etc).



best regards

Costas & Marcin
