Kate,
fyi: I will be attending the workshop, and I could certainly give an
overview on TRANSP, one of the major Fusion codes for the Collaboratory.
If there will only be time for one presentation to cover all fusion codes,
I could probably manage that as well with some help from my colleagues.

> Proposed topics:
>
> 1) MDSplus and relational database (by Tom and Josh):
> - what it is, what it is not,
> - how it works,
> - what components it implements (and how they work),
> - what platforms it runs on,
> - experssion evaluator
> [Tom and Josh: I threw these two things together; perhaps it would be
> better to do something like "data management in Fusion" and briefly review
> the requirements that led you to developing this design and talk about the
> mdsplus, but also of your metadata management, what do you think?]
>
> 2) Fusion codes/applications and mode of operation (by ?):
> - what are the applications and what do they do,
> - what are their interactive requirements (say: they write data to
> a remote server every timestep),
> - how much data they consume/produce,
> - parallel or not,
> - how are all of those things likely to change (or not); platforms
> etc.
>
> 3) Akenti (by Mary):
> - what is Akenti (from the point of view of how it could be used
> in this project),
> - how are use policies formulated, is there a language/grammar
> - if I were to download Akenti tomorrow, what would I need to use
> it, and how could I use it (is there a "hello world" example")?
>
> 4) topics in Globus (by Kate):
> - GRAM overview ( what components it consists of and how it is
> currently implemented, where are the hooks to security, more?)
> - job monitoring in Globus (with examples and in the context of
> the documents sent out by Martin and Doug)
> - a quick overview of Data Grids (more with an eye on some future
> stuff we would want to do)...
>
> 5) Discussion (brainstorming/planning) session:
> topics:
> a) Akenti / gridmapfiles / shared accounts / use policies and
> their refinement
> b) job monitoring: what do we have what do we need, what is
> satisfactory for a time but would have to be refined later
> c) topic identified during talks
