Hi All, Any opinions on the scope of the software? here are some options:
* software related to science gateways, data management, scientific workflows and processing * software related to executing and managing computational jobs on local clusters, Grid and Cloud computing resources * software related to creating reliable and scalable gateway middleware for data and workflows to seamlessly manage computations on local resources, supercomputers, national grids, academic and commercial clouds. * software related to creating reliable and scalable gateway and workflow abstractions to manage computations on distributed computing resources …we can keep trying various permutations, buts lets agree upon something in the next day or two.
