Abstract

The DISCWorld system requires the description and mapping of data, software and computational resources to allow user queries or requests to be scheduled. We review the distributed scheduling problem and discuss mechanisms for expressing and operating upon the necessary distributed job control information. We focus upon techniques that can be expressed in a portable fashion using Java and a World Wide Web software infrastructure, constraining the problem to deal with the well characterised high-level service applications employed in DISCWorld.
