[SAGA-RG] notes from the OGF28 session on 18/03, 16:00-17:30

[Thilo Kielmann]

SAGA-WG session at OGF28, monday march 15, 2010, 16:00-17:30

session chaired by Andre Merkzy
notes taken by Thilo Kielmann

Due to a technical problem with the beamer, the session agenda was
rearranged to start with a discussion on the white board.

new agenda:

1. relation of SAGA with the Vine toolkit
2. the SAGA Core experience document


1. SAGA and Vine
both have similar concepts (API abstracting from middleware and  
services,
implementations with dynamic plugins/adaptors)

There clearly is some conceptual overlap between both, so it was  
discussed
how they could possibly be combined, or implementations be integrated.

The outcome was that SAGA could be used to give Vine access to several
middleware platforms. The Vine group will try out the Java  
implementation
to do so.


2. the SAGA Core experience document

Andre was walking the group through the upcoming experience document.
The discussion lead to the following action items:


clarify the notions of interoperable vs. compliant
what do we need/want to show exactly?

should the service discovery (SD) extension package be covered in this
experience doc?
decision: No

remove section 2, there seems no real value here

section 3: was debated as well
solution: merge its content into the current section 4


make more concise points about what we want to test, exactly

The session was closed at 17:30.
