Hi Antoon, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner on this.
With regard to asking questions about directors, Professor Lee is the best person for this, but his schedule is rather tight, so I'm not sure if he will be available to meet with you on the 13th. Professor Lee and the rest of the group will be around on the 12th at the Ptolemy/Kepler meeting. Talking to Professor Lee during the poster session might be useful. Ptolemy group members can answer general questions, but usually Edward will have some insight above and beyond our experience. You might also want to chat with the Kepler folks. _Christopher Christopher Brooks (cxh at eecs berkeley edu) University of California Programmer/Analyst Chess/Ptolemy/Trust US Mail: 558 Cory Hall #1770 ph: 510.643.9841 fax:510.642.2739 Berkeley, CA 94720-1770 home: (F-Tu) 707.665.0131 (W-F) 510.655.5480 (office: 400A Cory) -------- Hi Ptolemy developers, I am a member of the myGrid workflow project in the United Kingdom, trying to hook up with people with in depth knowledge of Ptolemy's Directors during or after the Ptolemy workshop on May 12th. myGrid has developed a set of components to construct workflows in bioinformatics and is linked to Kepler through the LinkUp initiative (http://www.mygrid.org.uk/linkup/). Some of the capabilities of the Kepler and myGrid workflows are highly complementary, which has recently spawned activity to interoperate the two environments. As part of this, I'm coming over to the Ptolemy workshop to see how the Ptolemy concepts relate to a set of standard patterns for control flow[1], data[2] and resources[3] in workflow systems. These patterns were originally developed to compare commercial workflow software but seem relevant for scientific workflow systems, too. The patterns do not address how combinations of patterns result into distributed execution models, and how such models can be combined, a feature offered by Ptolemy. I am looking for people who would be interested to sit down with me and go over my mappings between the two. I will be in Berkeley 12-13 May, and in San Diego the beginning of the week after. If you're interested to work with us on this, please get in touch.
