OGF's mission is to build an international community to accelerate Grid adoption by providing an open forum for grid innovation and developing open standards for Grid software interoperability; and, this mission is based on that belief that standards-based grid computing is critical to enabling business value and scientific discovery. With this in mind, we present OGF's Technical Strategy, as well as an overview of the Grid/Distributed Computing landscape.
Technical Strategy for the Open Grid Forum 2007-2010
Abstract:
This document describes the overall OGF technical strategy spanning a timeframe from 2006 to 2010. The technical strategy ultimately describes the output of the OGF standards working groups as well as the requirements (in the form of capabilities or functions) that serve as the inputs to standards working groups. This version of the technical strategy is represented in the form of a roadmap of standards working group output over time with specific short-term milestones and target deliverables. It is expected that later versions will address technical strategy in the context of Enterprise and e-Science activities, such as the Vendor Adoption Forums and the Grid Interoperability Now (GIN) activity.
Grid - Distributed Computing at Scale; An overview of Grid and the Open Grid Forum
Abstract:
In today's global economy, organizations are being challenged to break down process, technology and people silos that inhibit the flow of information, innovation and commerce. Individuals are being challenged to work in new ways - often in collaboration with other organizations, departments, and/or disciplines. This paper explains why Grid is the IT infrastructure solution being used by leading organizations around the world to enable this knowledge-based, global economy. It explains the role of grid technologies within the broader distributed computing landscape and defines the three common categories of grid use today. It identifies the evolution of Grid technologies from application-specific solutions to dynamic, shared and service-oriented infrastructures. Finally, it describes the role that the Open Grid Forum plays in accelerating grid adoption in partnership with the grid community and the industry at large.
