WS-*? Where is GGF's OGSA Headed? By Tony Hey, Contributing Editor Tony Hey, director of e-Science for the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council, continues to elaborate the need for open standards in the realm of Web services-based Grid computing. He discusses the great debate of WSRF vs. WS-*, and lays out what the GGF must do with OGSA in order to give e-Science application developers something to rally around. [ ] M343938 ) The Geodise Project: Making the Grid Usable Through Matlab By M. Hakki Eres et al, Univ. of Southampton The Geodise project is one of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council pilot projects. It has produced a set of toolboxes to aid the engineer in the design process by making available a suite of intelligent design optimization and search tools, CAD packages and mesh generation tools. It has been used to enable CFD analysis packages to be integrated with distributed Grid-enabled computing, analysis, data and knowledge resources. Figures available online only.
