These prerequisites have to be taken into account in order to provide solutions in the area of Grid scheduling and resource management. In this document we propose the employment of a semantic model for Grid scheduling. The Grid Scheduling Ontology describes the capabilities and state of a scheduler, providing a machine-processable and interoperable model for the integration of local schedulers into Grid resource management. Along with the model we present a metascheduling architecture based on the VIOLA Meta-Scheduling Service that use ontology modelling and reasoning capabilities of OWL to provide semantic support for meta-scheduling in Grids.Abstract S.1 1 Introduction S.1-2 - 1.1 Related Work S.1-2 - 1.2 Motivation to Employ Semantic Models S.2 - 1.3 Reminder of the Paper S.3 2 Requirements for the Scheduling Domain Knowledge Model S.3 - 2.1 Resource Pre-selection Use Case S.3 - 2.2 Schedule Query Use Case S.4 - 2.3 Alter Reservation Use Case S.4 3 A Semantic Model for Grid Scheduling S.4-7 4 Environment for Semantic Exploitation S.8 - 4.1 Architecture S.8 - 4.2 Implementation S.9 5 Future Perspectives S.9 References S.10-11en003005006518report
