iGrid application demonstration updates (6/24/05)

[Maxine Brown <maxine@xxxxxxx>]

All,

The latest iGrid demonstration Descriptions and Technical Specifications 
have been posted on our FTP site. Also posted is our first attempt to 
create matrices of all the technical specifications (thanks to Luc 
Renambot). Once these matrices are reviewed, we can post this information 
on the web for easy access.

There have been some "late breaking" developments, summarized below. All 
relevant information is included in the above documents to keep you up-to-date

* UK102 has been cancelled. Instead, the people who were behind this demo 
will be working with Alan Whitney as part of US122.

* US112 is not as far along with software development, but is still 
attempting to meet iGrid deadlines; they may work with SARA in The Netherlands.

* US122 is only in the organizational phases now, with Sweden, The 
Netherlands, Japan, Australia and the US, so the US122 technical 
specifications may change.

* US118 was to be an HD "portal" between the iGrid site in San Diego and 
the APAC conference in Australia, but this week we started to discuss using 
this portal for something more meaningful, and having Ian Foster, who will 
be in Australia, give a remote presentation to the iGrid audience, and have 
Larry Smarr, in San Diego, give a short presentation to APAC. There are 
some technical concerns, as well as some logistical concerns at the Calit2 
building which are now being addressed.


We have an iGrid meeting on Monday and Tuesday in San Diego, during which 
time these technical specifications will be reviewed. After that time, I 
will be contacting the application people for clarification. If you have 
any questions or concerns, please contact me so that I may get them resolved.

Thank you all for your ongoing support!
