Dear UCSD-SEEKers:

You should have gotten an email by Matt over the seek-logistics
mailing list (if not, please DO subscribe to that list!).

We need a head count to get the hotel block reservations done etc.
The meeting dates are October 22-26 (I expect some aggregation into
technology thrust and working groups to happen, so that some of you
may still have a meaningful meeting even if you can't make the
complete duration).

Since the meeting is in nearby Santa Barbara, and since we are moving
forward towards important design and development decisions, several of
which need guidance also from the research side, I do encourage
everyone to attend! 

Please let us know asap whether you will be able to attend this
meeting. For some of you whom I didn't get a chance to meet recently
(including the GSRAs), this is also a good occassion to do some joint
work.

Since I'm currently in Venezuela and virtually off email, please reply
also to Raja (sekar at sdsc.edu) and/or Matt (jones at nceas.ucsb.edu)
directly.

Thanks 

Bertram

Subject: [seek-ucsd] 1. SEEK meeting reminder 2. TechReport on Analytical Pipelines
Message-ID: <200308231851.h7NIp0ZY000708@multivac.sdsc.edu>


Hi all:

1. ACTION REQUIRED for the members of SEEK-UCSD: 
if you haven't done already, please reply ASAP to me (please cc to
Matt Jones <jones at nceas.ucsb.edu>) whether you can attend the upcoming
SEEK AHM in Santa Barbara

2. For those who are interested in the SEEK Analytical Pipelines
(and/or data stream processing), attached please find a technical
report which explains some of problems with our first ad-hoc workflow
implementation in the SciDAC project, and a proposal how to avoid
those using a declarative functional approach based on process
networks.

It should also give the colleagues interested workflows a first
impression that our scientific "workflows" are mostly *dataflows* and
best modeled using *process networks*. So for things to be SEEK/SciDAC
relevant it would be helpful to take a close look at [LP95] which
forms the basis for our implementation platform Ptolemy-II. 
Since process networks can be compiled into quite efficient (and
parallel) code, fans of the XSM may find [LP95] interesting as well
(those folks, also see Section 4.2 of the tech report).

cheers (and sorry for the bundled email: I'm still operating out of
the internet cafe)

Bertram
