Notes

Difference between version 24 and version 6:

Line 19 was replaced by line 19
- ** Need policy guide for how to extend the icon set in a visually consistent way (Downey)
+ ** Need policy guide for how to extend the icon set in a visually consistent way (Laura)
Line 22 was replaced by line 22
- ** Workflow, Actor, Director dialogs (highest priority)
+ ** Workflow, Actor, Director dialogs (highest priority; developer TBD)
Line 24 was replaced by line 24
- * Semantic annotations
+ * Semantic annotations (Shawn)
At line 27 added 1 line.
+ ** need semantic annotation of data, different than for actors
At line 28 added 58 lines.
+ * Query Builder
+ ** "Display" label -- discuss and decide how to change (Jing)
+
+ * Actor configuration dialog
+ ** Need more space for identifier (LSIDs are long)
+ ** Double-click == open actor == look inside
+ ** Right-click then Configure to configure
+ *** Consider possibility of the IDE motif with a selectable property palette
+ ** Parameters -- should be scrollable list
+ ** Question about relative priority of UI tasks versus other tasks
+ *** Dialogs are not a show-stopper for Kepler, but still are very important from a user-acceptance perspective
+
+ !!!EcoGrid Breakout
+
+ ! Action items for release (__January 15, 2007 target__)
+ * Fix memory problems on SRB get interface (Lucas)
+ * Move GET + PUT method to use HTTP binding to avoid memory problems (Jing & Lucas)
+
+ ! Action items for release (__February 15, 2007 target__)
+ * Finish LSID support for Metacat (fix bugs) (Jing)
+ * Add LSID support to SRB, use LSIDs for SRB identifiers (Lucas)
+ * Separate Query/Get into separate WSDL documents (David)
+ * Authentication: turn on SSL for ecogrid auth methods (Jing & Lucas)
+ * Refactor for naming consistency (server and client sides) (Jing and Lucas and Dave)
+ ** Update namespace to 1.0.0 (currently uses beta1)
+ * Documentation (David)
+ ** server side
+ ** client side
+ *** build a client package with full documentation, bundle all client stub jars
+ * Rename to: EarthGrid
+ * Add portal to SEEK website, rename throughout to EarthGrid (David)
+
+ ! Action items for version after release
+ * Add delete method to its own WSDL (logical delete)
+ * Add replication and 3rd party transfer methods (postpone)
+ * Authentication
+ ** research how to pass GSI certs over HTTP (maybe in headers) (postpone)
+ * DiGIR performance issues (waiting on new hire, or Dave will finish)
+ ** Harvesting to central server is now underway
+ ** Need to implement EcoGrid interfaces to the central cache
+ ** support Wasabi (query + get interfaces, RDF to XML translation)
+ ** support Tapir (but maybe too complicated, so postpone)
+ * monitoring framework
+ ** monitoring script that generates simple web page with status update (Jing)
+ ** more complete user-oriented web report interface for all EcoGrid providers (postpone)
+ *** see the examples for DiGIR at [http://bigdig.ecoforge.net]
+
+ !!! Kepler: Distributed Execution
+
+ !Proposal discussion
+ * Use a subclass of RunCompositeActor
+ * central broker/controller handles communication with different nodes
+ * use annotation to flag stateful versus stateless actors
+ * deal with passing data by reference
+ ** probably modify the Token base class to support passing by reference, or maybe the ObjectToken class to limit the impact to the type lattice
+ ** actors would have to create tokens that are of a given type with a reference instead of the data
+
+ * security: need it but could be layered on in a second step, but would mean that the system would have to be run in a trusted environment
