Excerpt from Appendix B of GFD-C.1: Where the OGF knows of rights, or claimed rights, the OGF secretariat shall attempt to obtain from the claimant of such rights, a written assurance that upon approval by the GFSG of the relevant OGF document(s), any party will be able to obtain the right to implement, use and distribute the technology or works when implementing, using or distributing technology based upon the specific specification(s) under openly specified, reasonable, non- discriminatory terms. The working group or research group proposing the use of the technology with respect to which the proprietary rights are claimed may assist the OGF secretariat in this effort. The results of this procedure shall not affect advancement of document, except that the GFSG may defer approval where a delay may facilitate the obtaining of such assurances. The results will, however, be recorded by the OGF Secretariat, and made available.

© 2006 OpenGridForum 4 OGF Requirements Track Orientation Session Requirements Group Sessions (Pharma, Finance, Vendor Adoption, SN-CG, EGR-RG, etc. Rollup & Prioritization TSC Report-Out This is a plenary session for all persons involved in the requirements track Explain what Grid is in terms of the key requirements that OGF is currently addressing Direct requirements groups to evaluate relevance of OGF requirements relative to the individual needs of each group Individual requirements group sessions to determine how relevant are the requirements that OGF is currently addressing Rollup results from individual requirements groups and be able report- out on relevance of requirements that OGF is currently addressing Report-out on alignment gap of the requirements that OGF is currently addressing and the possible gap closure recommendations Set expectation for timeline of gap closures

© 2006 OpenGridForum 5 Requirements & Standards Alignment Promote requirements that OGF is already addressing WIN-WIN!! Steer OGF standards to be more relevant to the enterprise Relevance to OGF Relevance to Enterprise

© 2006 OpenGridForum 12 Synopsis of Some Standards (1/2) Simple API for Grid Applications A simple API that tries to hide most grid complexity while providing common look-and-feel for basic operations, e.g., remote file access, remote job management, etc. Does not replace lower level tools that actually do these functions. Distributed Resource Mgmt Application API Provides an API submit and manage remote jobs. Many attributes can be set prior to execution. Job Submission Description Language XML-based language for describing jobs to be submitted to a grid. Does not address actual job submission or management. OGSA-Data Movement Interface Will provide an abstract interface for data movement (point-to- point, third-party) that is transport-agnostic.

© 2006 OpenGridForum 13 Synopsis of Some Standards (2/2) Grid File Transfer Protocol This document builds on RFC 959 File Transfer Protocol for grids. Grid Security Infrastructure is incorporated, along with disk striping, channel striping, third-party transfer. Configuration Description, Deployment and Lifecycle Mgmt CDDLM consists of five documents and is based on SmartFrog (Smart Framework for Object Groups). The Configuration Description Language describes system configuration of components in the CDDLM Component Model. The Deployment API uses a deployment descriptor to manage deployment lifecycle. Open Grid Services Architecture, Web Services Resource Framework Basic Profile 1.0 The specifications considered in this profile are specifically those associated with the addressing, modeling, and management of state: WS-Addressing, WS-ResourceProperties, WS- ResourceLifetime, WS-BaseNotification, and WS-BaseFaults.

© 2006 OpenGridForum 17 What Are the Issues Surrounding Adoption of OGF Standards? Possible Issues: Too Broad/Too Large Too Monolithic Too Vague Too Specific (constraining) Off-target Don't need it Too Expensive to adopt Too Divergent from my business plan Too Late Technical Gap in one area prevents adoption of completed standard in another area The 800-lb. gorillas (MS, IBM, … ) are going to define it What are the Issues for Specific Standards? What are the Possible Mitigation Efforts? Every OGF standard should have an Adoption Strategy

© 2006 OpenGridForum 18 Standards Grid Domains Collaboration Grids Multiple institutions, secure, widely distributed, VOs Collaborative agreements & commercial partnerships Financial Model: Increase overall revenue Data Centre Grids Centralized management of multiple platforms Aggregation of enterprise resources and applications Financial Model: Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Cluster Grids Networks of Workstations, Blades, etc. Cycle scavenging, Homogeneous workload Financial Model: Lower marginal costs
