• Various OGF-Europe Community Outreach Seminars and Tutorials


Enterprise - RelevanceTopics that the Enterprise community cares about

Current uses of technology• Increase infrastructure utilization and sharing• Determine application suitability for an Enterprise Grid, as

well as Application Porting & On-boarding to an Enterprise Grid

• Data access and high performance issues around caching and storage

• “Management at Scale”

Trends• SOA + Grids• Virtualization + Grids• Clouds


Enterprise – focus for 2008

Use vertical workshops to address select topics• Outreach

• E.g. Street Grid, NGDC, SAE, Platform user conf, SAS user confs, Oracle Open World, etc.

• OGF Hosted

Create awareness/visibility in enterprise community • Use OGF and other web sites• Promote/leverage what we already have

• Current workshop results• Enterprise Adoption Forums• BP and CP docs• Standards/specifications (e.g. JSDL, HPC Profile, etc.)

• Promote future workshops and BP activity

Use Best Practices (BP) series to gain participation and interest• Call for submissions on key/relevant topics• Generate BP docs from submissions


Standards at OGF23 - BoFs

• Network Measurement and Control• Mon, 2:00 pm, Sants

• Data Grid Management Systems• Mon, 3:45 pm, Montjuic

• Integrating Service and Desktop Grids• Mon, 3:45 pm, Sarria

• Firewall Virtualization for Grid Applications• Mon, 5:30 pm, Montjuic

• “GLUE Specification v. 2.0” (new)• “GLUE v. 2.0 - Reference Realizations to Concrete

Data Models” (new)• “HPCBP Advanced Filter Extension” (new)• “Use of XACML Request Context to Obtain an

Authorization Decision” (new)• “Use of SAML to Retrieve Authorization Credentials”

(new)


General Principles and post OGF22 work• Aim at Relevance and Excellence exploiting loose flexible interactions

with Standards and Enterprise• Few activities will lead to new standards but loose coupling of eScience

and Standards will be mutually fruitful• Many activities jointly interesting and best jointly organized by Enterprise

and eScience• OGF Community Program and Groups• Disseminate through web-based record and special issues of journals.

• Currently 8 submissions to general OGF 2008 special issue • Previously had special issues on portals (3), workflow, GIS and provenance

with a total of 80 published papers. • Continued to develop OGF Cloud activities• Much work with board and rest of OGF management on futures• Need people to serve on NOMCOM and others to be nominated as

eScience AD’s for NOMCOM consideration


Standards – Spec Adoption

• “Community Workshop on Access Paradigms” session (1st of 3) • Tue, 11:00 am, Barcelona C

• Discussing the current suite of OGF specifications and how they connect with the use cases that originally drove their development• Did we hit the mark?


eScience: OGF Special Issue 2008Concurrency&Computation: Practice&Experience

• http://www.ogf.org/OGF_Special_Issue/• Reliability in Grid Computing Systems• The HPC Basic Profile and SAGA: Standardizing Compute Grid

Access in the Open Grid Forum• Accessing RDF(S) Data Resources in Service-based Grid

Infrastructures • WS-Naming: Location Migration, Replication, and Failure

Transparency Support for Web Services • Profiles for Conveying the Secure Communication Requirements of

Web Services • A General Encoding Framework for Representing Network

Measurement and Topology Data• Interoperation of World-Wide Production e-Science Infrastructures • Using Clouds to Provide Grids Higher-Levels of Abstraction and

Explicit Support for Usage Modes


Some OGF23 eScience Highlights

• Keynote Les Robertson CERN on LHC Computing Grid

• Keynote Werner Vogels from Amazon on Clouds• Mini-workshop on Clouds• Other workshops on• Dynamic Service Level Agreements• Quality for Grid and Grid for Quality• Interoperability between Europe India and Asia Grids

• Tutorial on latest rule-based Data Grid technology• Many important group sessions


Les Robertson - Bio

Les Robertson has been involved in the development and management of the central computing services at CERN , the European Organization for Nuclear Research, since 1974, taking a very active part in the evolution from super-computers through general purpose mainframes to clusters of RISC workstations and finally (at least for now) to PC-based computing fabrics. He was involved from an early stage in planning the data handling services for the experiments that will use CERN's new accelerator - the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The very large volume of data and computing capacity requirements led to an early interest in Computational and Data Grids - which are now enabling us to unite the power of the many large and small computing clusters available to high energy physicists, integrating them with storage facilities at CERN and other data centres distributed around the world. He led the LHC Computing Grid Project for six years from its start in 2001 with the goal of preparing the computing environment for LHC: the development and support of the common tools, libraries and frameworks required by the physics applications, the preparation of the computing facility at CERN, and the coordination and operation of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid.
