  • appropriate development and especially maintenance cost (only you can say what this is!)

  • Our attempts to establish this community standard are described later as the "Java Seamless Computing Framework" -- next step in this activity (general meeting) is supported by both Globus and Java Grande Forum
  • In principle, such a standard would make it easier for HPCC systems such as Globus and Legion to co-exist with each other and with commodity services
