CS-11 Workshop, Grid interface to interactive analysis tools

San Diego, UCSD
20-21 March 2003 (just before CHEP conference)

Minutes (doc, pdf)

Goal

Describe a set of interfaces needed by interactive analysis tools on the grid. This will involve evaluating existing interfaces from other grid services from the point of view of interactive analysis, suggesting extensions to such interfaces or creating additional interfaces as needed. We will try to use OGSA terminology (but we are not real OGSA experts yet) so "service description" is equivalent to "API".
We expect to leave with a list of what needed service descriptions (old form: APIs), a general description of each and pseudo-code drafts of at least two specific services:
- generic access to datasets.
- access to results including partial results and collating of results from multiple servers.

Reading list: - please review before meeting

Attendees

Computer Network Information

There will be wireless and wired network available. Anyone planning to use wireless MUST send the MAC address of your wireless adapter ahead of time to dlolson@lbl.gov.

Accomodations

Lodging reservations are up to each attendee. We assume that most people will be attending the CHEP conference and just extend those reservations.

Location

VRVS Universe/Earth/Island Virtual Room

UCSD, Mayer Hall, room 5310 (physics department)

Directions:
Coming on I-5 from the airport and points south exit on Gilman Drive and Turn Left at the end of the ramp.
Coming on I-5 from points north exit on Gilman and Turn Right.

You will drive through two stop lights on Gilman. As you enter campus there will be a parking office on the right directly before a four way stop. Stop at this office and buy a parking permit. Parking is well regulated and tickets are expensive. Also ask for a campus map.

At the four way stop turn left and proceed through two more stop signs. At the first opportunity to turn right after the second stop, turn right and park. On the opposite corner of the parking lot from the entrance you will find a large sidewalk. Take this until you come to a quad. Mayer Hall is on the far corner of this quad. Go to the top floor. 5310 is accessible from the balcony.
