(new) Ad-hoc BOF
The TeraGrid has begun to measure “usage modalities.” We want to measure these modalities to understand what objectives our users are pursuing, how they go about achieving them, and why, so that we can make changes in the TeraGrid to better support them. We believe other infrastructure projects are also working in this area, and this session will allow us to discuss how we can all do this together, including coming up with common definitions and means of measurement. If there is sufficient interest, this could lead to a working group to continue this activity.
Agenda:
(1) Discussion of TG work to-date
(2) Open discussion of other infrastructures work
(3) Discussion of how to go forward

Infrastructure federation is becoming an increasingly important issue for modern Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCIs): Dynamic elasticity of quasi-static Grid environments, incorporation of special-purpose resources into commoditized Cloud infrastructures, cross-community collaboration for increasingly diverging areas of modern e-Science, and Cloud Bursting pose major challenges on the technical level for many resource and middleware providers. Especially with respect to increasing cost of operating data centers, the intelligent, yet automated and secure sharing of resources is a key factor for success.
The DCI Federation Working Group (DCIfed-WG) will, after initial research, deliver a specification for the automatically negotiated, SLA-secured, dynamically provisioned federation of resources and for Grid- and Cloud-type infrastructures. The scope of the specification will include (1) the delegation of workload from one domain into the other, covering job description, submission, and monitoring; and (2) leasing of resources, including resource definition, provisioning, and monitoring.
This session focuses on general issues, group synchronization, open problem discussion, and future planning.

(FutureGrid BoF) Ad-hoc BOF
This session will discuss the status of the FutureGrid.
FutureGrid is a project to develop a high-performance grid cloud test bed that will allow scientists to collaboratively develop and test innovative approaches to parallel, grid, and cloud computing. The test bed will be composed of a high-speed network connected to distributed clusters of high-performance computers. FutureGrid will employ virtualization technology to allow the test bed to support a wide range of operating systems. The goal is to build a system that helps researchers identify cyberinfrastructure that best suits their scientific needs. The FutureGrid project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and is led by Indiana University with University of Chicago, University of Florida, San Diego Supercomputing Center, Texas Advanced Computing Center, University of Virginia, University of Tennessee, University of Southern California, Dresden, Purdue University, and Grid 5000 as partner sites.

(OCCI-WG) Group Discussion
This session will focus on how OCCI relates to other standards being developed in the cloud standards space.
Cloud Computing has offered several benefits that SMEs can strategically leverage by doing a paradigm shift in their IT development and operations. However, as ever, there are several pitfalls including vendor lockin, lack of interoperability, portability and federated deployability support. In this BoF session, we would like the participants throw up possible best practices, engage and debate its wider applicability across various markets within Asia and the world at large and across various vertical domains. In addition, we will examine similar efforts put in by contemporary standards bodies and share their experiences.
Agenda:
1. Introduction
2. Cloud computing usage across Asian SMEs
3. Key challenges faced by the Asian SMEs in leveraging the Cloud computing services - IaaS, PaaS and SaaS.
4. Best Practices for successful leverage
5. Learnings
6. Session Wrap-up.
OGSA-DMI-WG) Group Discussion
The OGSA DMI Working Group tackles the problems of discovering of data transport protocols available at the data's source and destination location and agreeing on one of them, and the actual invocation of the agreed data movement. This includes direct data movements and 3rd party data movements.
This session will present an overview of the OGSA-DMI working group, summarize the past and current efforts-functional specification, renderings, and the experiences from different OGSA-DMI implementations. Furthermore, the session will also present the working group's recent effort to tackle multiple source-sink data transfer requirements. As we are working towards the next version of OGSA-DMI specification, it will be an opportunity for data management experts to share their experiences and contributions during the session.
Agenda:
(1) Functional and Rendering Specification
(2) Experiences from the OGSA-DMI WS-I Implementations
(3) Multiple source / sink transfers
This session is an opportunity for researchers in cloud and grid security to present recent developments. Hot topics include authorisation and delegation, firewalls, security aspects of virtualisation, applications of encryption, interoperation and performance, protection against DDoS, standards, and much more. The Cloud Security session at OGF30 was a great success, with presentations on many different aspects of cloud security, from both industry and academia.
elegation is the process where a remote agent obtains a credential that allows it to act on behalf of some user, so gaining authorisation to use resources. Delegation is often needed within current Grid environments; for example, a job that runs at some remote site requires access to data on the basis that the job was launched by an authorised user.
GridSite Delegation (GSD) is a protocol that allows a server to obtain a delegated credential. It does this securely, without sending the private key over the network, and using a standard communication frameworks: SSLv3 and SOAP.
GSD was initially conceived as part of the GridSite project and later adopted by EGEE/gLite as a standard protocol. There exists C and Java implementations (both the server and client components) that were developed independently. GSD is currently in use within the European Middleware Initiative (EMI) and further afield.
This BoF session is to look at establishing a working group to take the existing GSD documentation and write a OGF INFO document that describes the GSD protocol. This document may become the basis for some future OGF standard.
