Community Activity: Grid Requirements, Roadmaps, and Use Cases
Thursday, 06-October 11:00a – 3:30p
Organizers: Prof. Geoffrey Fox, Indiana University and Craig Lee, The Aerospace Corporation

The GGF Community Council is organizing a workshop at GGF-15 on Grid Requirements, Technology Roadmaps, and Use Cases. Use cases are an established part of the standards process used to define the essential motivations for a particular standard. It has become clear, however, that use cases can be relevant to many different technical areas within a large field such as grid computing. Moreover, important knowledge about fundamental requirements can be extracted by looking across many use cases. Understanding fundamental requirements is necessary to define technology roadmaps that are used, in turn, to define the investment of resources for the further development. This argues for the organized management and exploitation of use case information.

Hence, this workshop seeks short presentations on requirements, technology roadmaps, and use cases for significant grid projects, e.g., institutional, national and international projects. Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

· Driving requirements for large projects
· Cross-domain requirements, e.g., science, telecom, finance, pharmaceuticals, homeland security, defense
· Requirements schemas, representations
· Requirements databases
· Use case repositories
. Use case data mining

Agenda

Introduction: Craig Lee
Talk 1: The GGF Use Case Repository, S. Crumb (GGF), A. Merzky (Vrije U.)
Talk 2: Report from the Enterprise Grid Requirements Working Group, T. Nakata (NEC)
Talk 3: Report from EGA on enterprise grid requirements, P. Strong (EGA Technical Chair)
Talk 4: NAREGI Use Cases, Kazushige Saga (NII/NAREGI)


Session 2: (two 20-min talks followed by a 50-min panel)

Talk 5: Use Case Drivers for a Cancer Research Grid, S. Hastings (BMI/OSU)
Talk 6: TeraGrid Use Case Drivers, TBA
Panel : "How to Manage Technology Roadmaps"
How to identify and manage grid requirements acrossmany projects and use them to define Technology Roadmaps, i.e., the investment of resources for further development.
