Grid Scheduling Architecture Research Group
Description
The goal of the Grid Scheduling Architecture Research Group 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-compliant ecosystem.
This research group is not working on standards but caries out activities to investigate the group's topic and to potentially spin-off an OGF working group later to work on standards.

State of the work
Mid 2008 the group planned to finalise and submit the requirements document as OGF informational document ("Grid Scheduling Architecture - Requirements"). However, due to lack of participation and contribution this document was postponed.
Another one is in preparation: The Grid Scheduler Interaction document (draft) is describing the interaction and interoperability issues between Grid schedulers (Grid scheduler interoperation profile).
Additionally the group has started the work on activity delegation between different Grid scheduler entities as a typical use-case for Grid Scheduling.
