Resource Management and Scheduling in Manufacturing Grid

Abstract

In order to resolve resource management and scheduling problem in Manufacturing Grid (MG) – an application of Grid technology, we develop a resource management and scheduling system with the interaction of Manufacturing Grid Information Service (MGIS) and the Manufacturing Grid Resource Scheduler (MGRS). The former, MGIS, provides fundamental mechanisms for remote resource encapsulating, registration, and monitoring, and the latter, MGRS, performs scheduling roles as Global Process Planning (GPP) analyzing, resource discovery, resource selection, and resource mapping.
