Minutes of CGS-WG Meeting at GGF7
Tokyo, Japan
6 March 2003

Carl Kesselman ran the meeting.

Draft doc has been circulating, describing job submission interfaces. Does not included detailed modeling of resources or policies.

Started with Andrea Westerinen's demo, showing the JSIM MOF in action. Andrea's presentation is here.
Issue raised by Andrea about whether Batch Service is always what is responsible for taking jobs off the queue. Carl says must support brokers that accept jobs, then send them to specific batch queues.  We need to work more on priorities for job submission.

Ellen listed a few more issues. Heidi Neumann had previously proposed some PBS issues.  Is ExecutionCandidate association in the right place? Carl: 2 use cases (or more). To do brokering/selection, I look at a bunch of different services and decide which to use, and look at policy, priority, etc. If I have a 100-processor job that requires a Gig of memory, no point to submit to a service that cannot honor that. Also, a service can maintain multiple queues. Maybe ExecutionCandidate should be raised up and moved to BatchService.  (Moved in real-time on screen by Ellen Stokes!)

Heidi's other question was whether the BatchJob class should provide a description of the task to be executed.  Group decision is that this is probably opening Pandora'a box and is out of scope.

Carl's use cases: manageability case, if something fails; discovery case; single submission case; brokering case. Same model should work for all.

Tom Roney gave a demo non-specific to JSIM, centered around using CIM to effectively manage systems.  Some details:

Demo:
    Control Console
    Event Subscription
    Automated actions

Closing from Carl:

We need to move the document forward. In the interest of time, we should try to schedule a face to face meeting before GGF8. This should hopefully allow us to finalize the document for GGF8.

We should setup a Bugzilla database to track issues.  Larry will do this.

We have an end of March deadline to send the JSIM schema to DMTF for the 2.8 release, but we can change later on with implementation experience.
