KEY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Community Scheduler: It is a specialized
middleware, responsible for matching users' jobs
requirements with the available resources in a
grid by the interaction with local schedulers. It
assigns jobs to sites through a process that, besides
requirement matchmaking, can also comprise
some kind of negotiation with local schedulers.
Sometimes it is also called Resource Broker or
Meta-scheduler.
Data Grid: A Grid environment whose ser-
vices are mainly used to deal with (including to
store, process, replicate and move) huge volumes
of distributed shared data or over which are ex-
ecuted grid-based applications that consume or
generate huge volumes of data.
Grid: The term Grid is a basic infrastructure
used to interconnect and provide access to widely
distributed, and possibly heterogeneous, shared
resourced that may belong to distinct organiza-
tions.
Grid Resource Management System: It is the
resource management system that runs over the
grid and is used to manage the available shared
resources, providing a wide range of services (like
efficient data movement, replica management
