Grid Operations Area
Area Directors:
Ken Klingenstein, Ken.Klingenstein@Colorado.edu
Charlie Catlett, catlett@mcs.anl.gov

Area Scope:
The Grid Operations Area develops user communities among operators and deployers of grids. The communities exchange best practices and inform the standards process of operational requirements.

Grid Operations Groups:

CA Ops (CAOPs-WG)
The purpose of the Certificate Authority Operations (CAOPS) Working Group is to develop operational procedures and guidelines that facilitate the use of X.509 and other technologies for cross grid Authentication.

Grid Interoperation Now (GIN-CG)
The purpose of this group is to organize and manage a set of interoperation efforts among production Grid projects interested in interoperating in support of applications that require resources in multiple Grids. The results of these interoperations may feed back into the interoperability efforts being conducted by the Standards Working Groups.

Production Grid Services (PGS-RG)
The purpose of this group is to bring together grid practitioners to document experiences, identify best practice and develop informational documents. These documents are offered as suggested guides to organizations moving a grid to the persistent level. This group also explores new paradigms in supporting grids that aspire to become large scale grids with a large user/application base, while not excluding the small grid efforts. In addition, this forum can be used to discuss problems and concerns that are likely to be encountered, technical as well as non-technical, when moving grid testbeds to production environments. This group should have an ongoing presence in GGF, serving a SIG/UG purpose in the grid community.
