Group Summary:
The goal of the Grid Scheduling Architecture Research Group (GSA-RG) is to define a scheduling architecture that supports cooperation between different scheduling instances for arbitrary Grid resources. The group currently focuses on the interoperation of different schedulers in an OGF-complaint ecosystem.
Charter Focus/Purpose and Scope:
The definition of the scheduling architecture should support all kind of resources include network, software, data, storage and processing units. The research group will particularly address the interaction between resource management and data management. Co-allocation and the reservation of resources are key aspects of the new scheduling architecture, which will also include the integration of user or provider defined scheduling policies.
The group began with identifying a set of relevant approaches obtained in existing Grid projects resulting in
GFD.64.
Currently, the GSA-RG reviews necessary protocols and interfaces to support interoperability between different Grid schedulers, and components of a modular scheduling architecture and their interactions. Services and protocols from other OGF groups are considered as potential basic building blocks of such an architecture and will be used wherever possible.
Title: Use Cases for Coordinated Grid Scheduling
Abstract: This document gives some example use cases for Grid scheduling to demonstrate the scope in actual projects. Based on these use-case, a set of relevant profiles are derived which classify the use-cases in order of complexity. This document is intended to be a source for requirements and information on Grid scheduling use cases.

Title: Requirements for Grid Scheduling
Abstract: This document derives from the GSA use case document general requirements on available services, protocols and information necessary for building a Grid scheduling system. It will identify the necessary components and describe their relationship and the exposed interfaces.

Seven Questions:
1. Is the scope of the proposed group sufficiently focused?
2. Are the topics that the group plans to address clear and relevant for the Grid research, development, industrial, implementation, and/or application user community?
3. Will the formation of the group foster (consensus-based) work that would not be done otherwise?
4. Do the group's activities overlap inappropriately with those of another OGF group or to a group active in another organization such as IETF or W3C?
5. Are there sufficient interest and expertise in the group's topic, with at least several people willing to expend the effort that is likely to produce significant results over time?
6. Does a base of interested consumers (e.g., application developers, Grid system implementers, industry partners, end-users) appear to exist for the planned work?
7. Does the OGF have a reasonable role to play in the determination of the technology?
