Framework for GRID metascheduling with SLAs

Abstract

Integration of heterogeneous resources in different administrative domains makes control and management of these environments a hard task, and this could be even worse if organizations intend to use these resources in a coordinate manner. Our goal is to simplify these labors with a policy based management schema. Policies with a high level of abstraction will be transform automatically in business rules to the right entities. In this paper we define a framework and several design aspects to show how this policy based management schema can be done. Besides we will give an example of a task scheduler for a computer cluster and how the latest version of grid tools available in the market fit in this proposal.
