Re: Introduction

[Patrick Wagstrom <wagspat@iit.edu>]

Sriram Krishnan, Gregor von Laszewski and I developed GSFL last summer.
It is based on WSFL which, at the time, looked like it was going to be
the standard (after all, it was from IBM).  As Sriram and I were leaving
ANL, BPEL4WS was released and the spec for the language was never
updated to map to BPEL4WS.  There are a few graduate students who are
currently working on an updated implementation and a closer mapping to
BPEL4WS at Illinois Institute of Technology here in Chicago.  You can
find the paper we wrote at http://patrick.wagstrom.net/research/gsfl.pdf
and you can see the poster that was shown at SuperComputing 2003 at
http://patrick.wagstrom.net/research/scposter-colored.ppt.

Thanks,

Patrick Wagstrom
