The workload management task of the DataGrid project was mandated to define and implement a suitable architecture for distributed scheduling and resource management in a Grid environment. The result was the design and implementation of a Grid Workload Management System, a super-scheduler with the distinguishing property of being able to take data access requirements into account when scheduling jobs to the available Grid resources. Many novel issues in various fields were faced such as resource management, resource reservation and co-allocation, Grid accounting. In this paper, the architecture and the functionality provided by the DataGrid Workload Management System are presented.
In this article we aim to describe a project developing of the Migrating Desktop infrastructure for mobile users. This functionality refers to the work environment of the users who very often change their location. The user interface called the Migrating Desktop, or grid desktop, is a very useful environment that accomplishes an integrated set of services and real applications, which could be run on the grid. We introduce a framework for improving the grid application launching. The possibility of usage of interactive application in developed environment is presented.
