        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the big attendance and the
          productive discussion during yesterday’s GWS meeting on
          Federated Execution across astronomical science platforms
          kick-off meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Minutes of the meeting are at:<o:p></o:p></p>

        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">It was presented a summary of the issues to
          be address and Dave Morris presented the status of the
          Execution Planner, the first standard we want to promote
          within the team.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">As this was a kick-off session, we have
          identified some points that could be further discussed in the
          mailing list or during next interop session in Tucson.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
          <li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">Are we
            replicating work already solved by the Grid community?<o:p></o:p></li>
        </ul>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Our initial answer is that the grid (or
          later cloud communities) has some agreed standards that we
          need to study to introduce concepts but that are not usually
          software stack agnostics. In the same way we defined UWS (what
          is a job scheduler when many job schedulers are present in
          many other contexts), the abstraction layer of the Execution
          Planner could be implemented with different software stacks
          below. In any case, of course we need to take attention to
          other standard ways to solve these problems.<o:p></o:p></p>

        <ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
          <li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l4 level1 lfo7">Status
            of Execution Planner and missing points?<o:p></o:p></li>
        </ul>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Note is quite complete. It must be
          addressed the data model to characterise capabilities of the
          platforms and characterisation of the workflows (in the
          general sense). This data model could be part of the Execution
          Planner standard (not a separate document) and, also, it
          should address data location (this is an open issue)<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
          <li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo8">Why not
            to create a layer on top of orchestrators? (Most of science
            platforms already have, e.g. a Kubernetes cluster)<o:p></o:p></li>
        </ul>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Although it is true that some technologies
          are quite standard for most of the science platforms,
          technologies could change, and older platforms could have
          different set-ups. This is why IVOA protocols are usually
          software stack agnostics so they could be implemented by all.
          In any case, it is important to know the level of
          heterogeneity of the different partners to identify if some
          things could be simplified assuming that compatible
          technologies.<o:p></o:p></p>

        <ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
          <li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l7 level1 lfo9">Could
            IVOA endorse or accept S3 as a data transfer protocol?<o:p></o:p></li>
        </ul>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Not clear answer. Interesting to be
          discussed in the mailing list.<o:p></o:p></p>

        </ul>
        <p class="MsoNormal">The more important step is to identify who
          is willing to help on the prototyping as, in this particular
          case, the prototyping will clarify a lot about possible
          missing points on the execution planner definition.<o:p></o:p></p>
