[wg-all] OGF Activities at SC07

[john.ehrig at ogf.org]

Dear OGF Members and Participants:

Many OGF members and technical contributors are participating next week at
the SuperComputing 07 show, including a number of OGF working groups and
member organizations that will be hosting interoperability demonstrations
using OGF specifications and specifications-in-development.  These
demonstrations will show the HPC community how OGF standards are addressing
many of their critical interoperability issues. This represents a
significant new phase for OGF - moving from the creation of standards to
demonstrating interoperability and adoption in science and business.

The published and draft specifications being demonstrated include:
* HPC Basic Profile, including Basic Execution Service (BES) and Job
Submission Description Language (JSDL)
* Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA)
* Grid Storage Management (GSM)
* Grid Remote Procedure Call (GridRPC)
* Grid Information Retrieval (GIR)
* Resource Namespace Service (RNS)
* Grid File Transfer Protocol2 (FTP2)
* Information Dissemination (INFOD)
* Network Mark-up Language (NML) and Network Measurements (NM)

Numerous organizations will be participating in the demonstrations including
Altair Engineering, EGEE, Forschungszentrum Julich, Hungarian Grid
Competence Centre, IBM, INFN, Internet2, KISTI, KnowARC, Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, OMII-UK, OMII-Europe,
Microsoft, NIC, Platform Computing, UK e-Science, University of Tsukuba and
University of Virginia eScience Group.  As you can see, a great deal of hard
work was involved in creating these specifications and putting the
demonstrations together.  Congratulations to the many OGF members and
contributors involved in making this happen!

If you would like to read more about the SC07 demonstrations, please see the
attached overview flyer which provides a brief description of each demo.
Also attached are more detailed flyers on the HPC Basic Profile and GIN
demonstrations. 

Last but not least, OGF Sponsor XtreemOS invites all interested developers
and users to the Grid Operating Systems Community BoF at SC07 on Tuesday,
Nov 13, 2007 from 12:15 - 1:15PM to discuss the current state as well as
future directions for grid operating systems and middleware.
