Grid, workflows, and other observations

• we need simple (and working) easy to use workflow engine for BPEL4WS that works on grid (for example on top of CoG API but workflow engine hides that it uses any particular grid toolkit ...).
• WSDL as ultimate URL - but how to find correct WSDL needs for permanent URL and in OGSA it is GSH ...
• different computing paradigms: Java is to java specific so now we replace Java with XML and re-implement Jini -> Gird and Web Services ...
• not to forget (note to myself): why we need components?
  reusability and etc is nice but why they are really needed is because only few grid users are grid programmers or computing scientist (TODO: check term) instead we need to provide generic tools such as components (and XCAT!)
• XSpaces needs official release, badly! (another note to myself)
• Noted observation: Grid Spam is grid application that sends (XML) messages/events that are automatically converted into emails ...
• PC + Management = Managewoment ???
• new product besides eCluster, eUtility, eDisaster in IBM family is now eWeSolveYurProblemsForSmallFee <blink> <blink> ;-)
• heard on Oprah: nobody talks about what is happening after the wedding? yeah we need to explore this space too ...
