[wg-all] XSEDE13 sessions: XSEDE use of OGF Standards; Identity Federation and other community input to standards, etc.

[Sill, Alan]

Dear colleagues,

If you are at the XSEDE 2013 conference in San Diego, please join us for the following sessions:

Tuesday, July 23 • 10:00am - 12:00pm, Leucadia Room
The XSEDE Global Federated File System (GFFS) and Execution Management Services (EMS) make extensive use of open standards developed in a variety of venues including the W3C, Oasis, and the Open Grid Forum. In this session we show how OGF standards are used for remote data sharing and access, execution management, and the construction of Shared Virtual Compute Facilities. Use of the OGF standards facilitates interoperation with other standards-based middleware in EGI and PRACE. OGF standards are developed by the community in an open manner and the processes for creating these documents will be described, along with OGF’s collaborative efforts with other standards bodies.

Community input as always is welcomed.

Tuesday, July 23 • 2:45pm - 5:00pm, Leucadia Room
XSEDE stakeholders are evaluating a proposal from the Architecture and Design (A&D) and Software Development and Integration (SD&I) groups to deploy a new identity, group, and profile management system, based on Globus Online, to provide common capabilities that can be leveraged across all XSEDE services, science gateways, and third-party applications. In this session we will present an overview of this proposal and its ramifications, and solicit feedback and discussion about it.
