| 3 | | So what on earth is SAGA? |
|---|
| 4 | | |
|---|
| 5 | | Click [http://saga.cct.lsu.edu here] for more, but in a nutshell: |
|---|
| 6 | | |
|---|
| 7 | | SAGA is a community technical specification, on the door-step to becoming a standard, via |
|---|
| 8 | | the [http://www.ogf.org/ Open Grid Forum (OGF)] as a high-level API that directly |
|---|
| 9 | | addresses the needs of application developers. The purpose of SAGA is two-fold: |
|---|
| 10 | | |
|---|
| 11 | | * Provide a simple API that can be used with much less effort compared to the vanilla interfaces of existing grid middleware. A guiding principle for achieving this simplicity is the 80–20 rule: serve 80% of the use cases with 20% of the effort needed for serving 100% of all possible requirements and |
|---|
| 12 | | * Provide a standardized, portable, common interface across various Grid middleware systems and their versions. |
|---|
| 13 | | |
|---|
| 14 | | Now that you are an expert on all matters SAGA, here is some material to start hurting your brains. We could after all, |
|---|
| 15 | | have called it the "Simple API for Distributed Environments" (SADE) which would have made [http://saga.cct.lsu.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=110 us] a bunch of SADEsts :) |

| 17 | | This Wiki serves as a notepad for developers, users and all self-respecting intellectually-inquisitive folk |
|---|
| 18 | | to communicate and stay abreast of the exciting developments in the SAGA world of Applied Distributed Systems. |
