AG2 arch, api, protocol walkthrough

[Rick Stevens]

I've discussed with several of you that I would like to schedule a
walkthrough of the current design requirements, specs and plans for AG2
interfaces and architecture.  This is a critical step since we now have
over a dozen groups that planing on building to our services interfaces,
registry interfaces, network services etc.  Recently we made major inroads
with the high-energy physics community for them to based the distributed
data analysis infrastructure for the LHC on AG2 mechanisms.. this will
ulitmately affect hundreds of sites and thousands of users.  I'd like to
get a discussion thread going on scheduling this and organizing who is
going to talk about what aspects of the design and the current
implementation.  I'll toss out a strawman of something like Terry and Mike
to talk to requirements as they see them currently from the bio, hep,
medical and atmospheric modeling perspective to name few.  I'd like the
team of Ivan, Tom and Bob to present a joint set of solutions to these
requirements.  I'd like Ti, Eric and Justin to critique the proposed
solutions. (note that in the future we will change these roles so dont get
hung up on the assignment of the moment).
