Meta Scheduling Framework for workflow service on the grids

초록

The Globus becomes a standard to construct a Grid and provides core services such as resource management, security, data transfer, information services, and so on. Workflow management becomes a main service as one of the important grid services for grid applications. We propose a Meta Scheduling Framework (MSF) in this paper. The MSF provides an XML-based Job Control Markup Language for describing information and procedures of applications, and a workflow management service for scheduling job flow.
