Accounting Workshop

We are planning to hold a workshop on accounting at the EGI Technical Forum in 
Amsterdam on the Wednesday afternoon (15th September). The 
outputs will feed into the development plans for accounting in EGI and EMI. 
The plan is to cover three broad areas.:-

A. The existing Central Accounting Service and its evolution over the next 
year. This part will be informative and will lay out expectations for NGIs 
wishing to run a distributed repository or move an existing one to publish via 
ActiveMQ. 

B. Gathering requirements for developments of the existing service for 
accounting cpu usage. Typically these might involve additions to the schema or 
changes in how the data are presented in the portal. Local accounting and MPI 
would also be relevant. 

C. Gathering requirements for accounting of other resources. Examples already 
mooted include application use, storage, networking and clouds.  

If you are interested in attending please get in touch and tell me why you 
would like to attend. e.g as an NGI seeking planning information; as someone 
who runs an accounting system you wish to interface; someone with requirements 
to present; some other reason; or just out of general interest in the subject. 
We will use the input to tune the agenda, not to control attendance.
