last conference call

I apologize for having missed our last call due to my attendance at the 
SuperComputing 2003
conference in Phoenix.

While I was there I approached Steve Tueke of Argonne National Labs and 
the OGSI specification
about our work here given the similarities between grid services and 
asynchronous web services in general.
(In early messages here I've provided links to the OGSI specification, 
but attach it here for accessibility.
  The factory and service instance concepts are there, though handle 
resolution is explicit there
   and observation is explicit here
)
