1. Appliance Aggregation Architecture (appagg) The First Research Group Meeting Milan Milenkovic and Dejan Milojicic GGF6, Chicago, October 2002

2. Agenda Brief introduction by Milan & Dejan (10 min) A view of appliance aggregation and grid - Milan Milenkovic (30 min) Discussion (50 min) –group charter and focus –desktop v. personal appliances aggregation similarities and differences –work plan and deliverables

3. Problem Space and Distinction Ad-hoc aggregation of wireless appliances Appliances in locale –Personal: handheld, laptop, tablet, etc. –Consumer: phone, camera, watches, etc. –Environment: display, U/I, surrogate, etc. We do not address –sensors, embedded in general sense –grids in general: distributed comp., data share –geographically distributed

4. Draft Charter, Definition Complements other Grid RGs & WGs address client side appliances Addresses appliances from perspective of –Aggregation: discovery, identity, security, com –Personal use: trust, HCI, apps, disconnection –Environment: scalability, power, ambience Three perspectives tied in by –wireless, ad-hoc, and pervasive deployment

5. Draft Charter, Structure Chairs –Milan Milenkovic, appliance grid –Dejan Milojicic, personal appliances grid Secretary –Dimitris Lioupis, Web Site: www.hpl.hp.com/hosted/ggf

6. Draft Charter, Goals Link GGF to pervasive, ad-hoc & appliances Devise architecture for appliance aggregation –Encourage info & code sharing by proposing strategies for interoperability –Process for researchers & developers to exchange results and contribute to community –Identify future areas of research important to continuing advance of Grids –HCI requirements for future appliances in ubiquitous environments

7. Draft Charter, Milestones Agree upon the charter and establish the plan (October 2002, at GGF6) Current practices (+12 months) Staged architecture (+12, 24, 36 months) Standards (+36 months) Working prototypes (+6-36 months)

8. Milestones, Current Practices (next 6-12 months) Terminology (Milan & Dejan) –common terms related to appliances & Grid –relate p2p, Grids, appliances, pervasive & embedded computing Survey (Ian Taylor) –survey the field of appliances aggregation –compare grid & p2p related to aggregation –survey & compare a few of case studies Use cases (Dimitris Lioupis) Public relations

9. Milestones, Staged Architecture (next 12, 14, 36 months) High Level Architecture –Define vision, use cases, functional and non-functional requirements, principles, conceptual architecture, guidelines, etc. –Evolve over the time, with specific design details coming to bear at later phases

10. Milestones, Standards (next 36 months) Guidelines towards standardization of the appliance aggregation architecture –Cross platform aggregation (by different vendors) –Specify interfaces & functionality required of different levels of aggregation of appliances E.g. ownership, state, applications, functionality

11. Relationship to other WG/RG Other p2p RGs –Desktop and consumer Grids –OGSAp2p –eGrid Other GGF –Advanced Collaborative Environments –Applications & Test Beds –Grid Computing Environments (GCE-RG) –Grid User Services (GUS-RG) –Discovery & Monitoring Event Description –Grid Protocol Architecture (GPA)

12. GAME OGSAp2p Appagg E-Grid embedded, sensors automation App-level I/F local, personal, consumer Grid-specific p2p, mobile, ad-hoc middleware, communication architecture appliances
