Summary
Resource management and job scheduling are important research issues in computational
grids. When software agents are used as resource managers and brokers in the
Grid a number of additional issues and possible approaches materialize. The aim of
this chapter is twofold. First, we discuss traditional job scheduling in grids, and when
agents are utilized as grid middleware. Second, we use this as a context for discussion
of how job scheduling can be done in the agent-based system under development.
