Very many machines, platforms, Operating Systems
Though a good/necessary thing, using them in changing environment becomes difficult for users.
Goal:
  • Enable Uniform or seamless access to general backend compute, communication and information resources
  • Hide details and satisfy "majority of" customers

Foil 5 Some Cosmic Issues

From Overview of DATORR for the Java Grande Pabel Sessions SC98 Orlando Java Grande Panel -- November 13 98. *
Full HTML Index
We are roughly defining properties and methods of those distributed objects associated with computing services -- these include jobs and resources
This could lead to Java frameworks for computing services
We need to start with key basic objects and services and use these to build other more complex entities and capabilities

What is the current state?
  • What projects are out there?
  • What are their goals?
  • What can we reuse?
Where do we have to expand/focus?
Most importantly workshop participants agreed that it was indeed useful to define common interoperable interfaces
