However, most peer-to-peer grid resource management systems allow only to discover available resources at the time of the request. We claim that peer-to-peer techniques have the potential for actual Grid scheduling, where each resource maintains a schedule of its future allocation to jobs. We present such a protocol, which additionally allows users to specify desired properties about the requested schedules.}, publisher = {IEEE Press}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/feasibility-decentralized-grid-scheduling/}, pages = {225-229}, edition = {The International Workshop on Decentralized Self Management For Grids, P2P, And User Communities (Selfman'08), co-located with IEEE SASO'08, Venice, Italy, October 2008.}, }
