In section IV.C I did not understand this about Swift Coasters: <br><br>"" there is no possibility to manage this resource pool programmatically ""<br><br>Which seem to be slightly contradicting with the last statement in the same para:<br>

<br>""SWIFT and Coaster supports various scheduling mechanisms, e. g. a FIFO and a load-aware scheduler.""<br><br>Also, Nimrod/G is mentioned as a pilot-based framework, but no details are provided. As of 2008, when I used Nimrod/G, it did not have a pilot-based execution framework.<br>

<br>A bit surprised that MOTEUR's interface with pilot-based system DIANE and its many interesting recent results are not discussed provided that Marc Santcroos is one of the developers.<br><br>--<br>Ketan<br><br><br>
