[saga-rg] RE: SAGA design meeting

[Shantenu Jha]

Craig, Chris: Thanks for following up with OGSA (folks). 

All: Based upon Hiro's message, I've uploaded the National Fusion
Collaboratory (nfc.pdf) and the Severe Storm (severestorm.pdf) use cases
at:
	http://cs.cct.lsu.edu/saga/space/Use+Cases

For completeness and ease of reference at next weeks meeting, I've also
uploaded the entire OGSA document as:
	 draft-ggf-ogsa-usecase-003.pdf
and the companion use case document
of second tier (i.e incomplete and non-reviewed use cases) as:
   ogsa-tier2-use-cases.pdf  at 
	http://cs.cct.lsu.edu/saga/space/Files

I've requested if someone from the two groups could help adapt these use
cases to the SAGA template - which isn't entirely trivial. Having said
that, the OGSA use cases as they stand are useful and should be read by
all coming to the design meeting (and as much of the full Use Case
document as possible!).

In addition to the above two I found the "Interactive Grid" from the OGSA
use case document useful - in that it captures many of the general
features required of scientific computing applicaitons. I've included it
under the SAGA use-cases, which along with the previous two isn't
technically corect until adapted.  Hopefully all three will be soon.
