SC08 Demo Time Correction

The IU booth demo is 1:00-3:00 on Wednesday, November 19th. These are roughly 2 30 minute demos at 1:00 and 2:00, with 30 minute breaks.

OGCE Portal 2.4 Posted

Version 2.4 is ready. This features the File Manager applet from the TeraGrid User Portal, as well as numerous bug fixes and miscellaneous enhancements. See http://collab-ogce.blogspot.com/2008/09/tagged-preview-of-ogce-portal-24.html for more details.

Tagged SC08 releases of OGCE Axis Services and GTLAB are also available.

OGCE Web Site and Download Reorganization

The OGCE Web Site is being revised to better reflect the reorganization of our downloadable components. Here are the major download suites:

• The OGCE portlet-based Grid portal: this download combines Tomcat, Gridsphere portlet container, and many OGCE portlets developed with OGCE libraries.
• The OGCE Axis Web Services Suite: this includes several OGCE services (currently GPIR, the Resource Prediction Service, and the Resource Discovery Service) combined into an integrated, one-step build.
  
• The OGCE Workflow Suite: this suite contains workflow composer and engine (XBaya), the GFAC application factory, XRegistry, and related components.
  
• GTLAB: This is a collection of Java Server Faces tags and supporting code for building Grid portlets and gadgets. The current version supports simple tag pipelining (so you can associate multiple tasks with a single HTML button click). Tags are no longer limited to Grid clients--any thing can be used.
• OGCE Gadget Container: this is a preview of our work to build an Open Social and iGoogle-compatible container. We view this as the successor to the portlet standard we have used in the past.

See the web site for more information.
