Re: [DotGNU]Grid Architecture Blueprint Builds On Web Services

[Derek Lewis]

Hi,

More on this, but with a slighty more combative spin.
   http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,50538,00.html

I would be interested in what people think about this approach.

Are there any holes in the strategy driving this initiative;
i.e. taking an approach designed for compute intensive research
projects and reworking it for use as a Webservice infrastructure?

Does the security model look okay?

Any comments on the Globus Toolkit licence,
Globus Toolkit Public License (GTPL)?

Don't worry, I am not an OpenSauce advocate. ;-)

Well the FULL documentation is not free.
