Technology choicesmade before October

design : UML using TogetherSoft ControlCenter development language : Java SOAP web services, then OGSA IAA modelled on Globus CAS own (to standards) Registry

made since October DBMS : DB2 source control : CVS IDE/build : Eclipse/Ant Java libraries: Apache Portal : Apache Cocoon

all crucial choices made

Budget LinesTravel Calc: (10*£6K + 13*£2.5K) * 2 years Less per person than Phase A Based on actual expenditure in 2002

Outsourcing Consultancy (eg database tuning) Customisation

Existing tools web/grid services Adapt utilities for portlet use (workflow?) Adapt client tools for server-side (viz?)
