Abstract
The Grid is new infrastructure to provide computing environment for grand challenge research by sharing large-scale resources. Currently the Globus becomes a de facto standard middleware to construct Grid and supports core services such as resource management, security, data transfer, information services, and so on. However, it still needs more works and researches to satisfy requirements from various grid applications. A workflow management is becoming a main service as one of the important grid services for complex grid applications. We propose a Meta Scheduling Framework (MSF) in this paper. The MSF provides a XML-based Job Control Markup Language (JCML) for describing information and procedures of grid applications, and a workflow management service for scheduling the job using the JCML and for processing the job effectively.
