HP, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft announced on Wednesday a roadmap for convergence of WSDM/WSRF/WS-Notification and the corresponding WS-Management/WS-Transfer/WS-Eventing/etc. specifications. This roadmap seems to include essentially everything in the WSRF/WS-Notification specifications upon which we have built GT4.

We in Globus view this as a very good thing. It will no doubt be quite a long time before these new converged specifications are produced. In the meantime, we will continue to support and enhance our WSRF/WS-N infrastructure. When the new specification are stable, we will implement them, in a way that provides an easy migration path.

More details on our perspectives can be found here: http://www.globus.org/wsrf/convergence.php.
