Abstract:
The Production Grid Infrastructure (PGI) working group works on a well-defined set of standard profiles, and
additional standard specifications if needed, for job and data management that are aligned with a Grid
security and information model that addresses the needs of production Grid infrastructures. These needs
have been identified in various international endeavors and are in many cases based on lessons learned
obtained from the numerous activities in the Grid Interoperation Now (GIN) community group. Therefore, PGI
can be considered as a spin-off activity of the GIN group in order to feed back any experience of using early
versions of open standards (e.g. BES, JSDL, SRM, GLUE2, UR, etc.) in Grid production setups to improve
the standards wherever possible. This particular document captures the a reasonable stable draft of the
execution service specification of the European Middleware Initiative (EMI) that has been created based on
many identified PGI concepts. A complementary implementation of this draft specification is provided by the
EMI project including adoptions in ARC, gLite, and UNICORE. The goal of this document is to capture
community practice and to have a foundation for a set of important standard specification updates to be
addressed by the PGI set of profiles and/or specifications of the corresponding related groups (e.g. BES,
JSDL, etc.).
