2. Management Area Workgroup Summary
CDDLM (config, description, deployment, lifecycle mgmt)
Four independent implementations (HP, Softricity, NEC, UFCG)
Interoperability experimental document
Next steps: expect new chairs, topics TBD
UR (usage record)
Two independent implementations
Next steps: interoperability document and a revision 2
RUS (resource usage service)
Four independent implementations (GridSAM, UNICORE, SweGrid, DGAS)
Next steps: Feature poll for a RUS “extended” specification on top of core RUS spec
ACS (application contents service)
2 independent implementations (Business Grid, NAREGI/PSE)
Next steps: discussions on enhanced interoperability, repository replication, and converged archive definition
GLUE – new workgroup
Abstract information model to facilitate interoperation between grid infrastructures
Major revision of Glue 1.3; GIN demonstrated need; leverage OGF work
Feed back to DMTF to incorporate Grid schema elements into CIM 2

3. Moving Management of Grids Forward
Supplement OGF Technical Strategy & Roadmap document through public comment
Management framework
Identify basic building blocks for management of grids: services, interfaces, protocols, info/data models
Drive from GIN lessons learned, existing OGF landscape & roadmap materials, requirements, related SDO work
Identify gaps
Challenge
Identify, define, and implement specifications / profiles for a staged set of usable and interoperable management pieces to move adoption of grids forward in a very time efficient manner
Recognize not all work needs or should take place in management area 3
