The OCCI-DRMAA standardization work was suspended in 2012, mainly due to a lack 
of interest from adopters and some unsolved issues with the foundational OCCI 
specifications. However, recently we got some interest from platform 
developers, so this seems to gain pace again.

The best thing to have would be some prototype implementation, based on DRMAA2 
in GridEngine:

Since GridEngine 8.2 is only announced so far (Daniel ?), you can start with 
the DRMAA2 mock implementation as foundation, and shift later to the ‚real‘ job 
submission system:

Any kind of OCCI-DRMAA prototype would give us a better feeling about the 
matureness of the concepts in the spec draft. We can then start to improve and 
finalize them, so that we end up with a real specification. 

Thanks and best regards,
Peter.
