METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A PLURALITY OF SCHEDULING ENDPOINTS IN A GRID NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for determining a plurality of scheduling endpoints in a grid network, each scheduling endpoint comprising a device for processing job requests communicated across the network, the method comprising the steps of:
- examining a communication across the network in order to determine a current activity status of a requesting device;
identifying an activity history for the requesting device;
comparing the current activity status with the activity history to derive a statistical data set; and
analysing the statistical data set to derive a time period in which the requesting device is available for processing job requests.

Abstract
A method for determining a plurality of scheduling endpoints in a grid network, each scheduling endpoint comprising a device for processing job requests communicated across the network, the method comprising the steps of: examining a communication across the network in order to determine a current activity status of a requesting device; identifying an activity history for the requesting device; comparing the current activity status with the activity history to derive a statistical data set; and analysing the statistical data set to derive a time period in which the requesting device is available for processing job requests.

11. A system for determining a plurality of scheduling endpoints in a grid network, each scheduling endpoint comprising a device for processing job requests communicated across the network, the system comprising:
-
an examining component for examining a communication across the network in order to determine a current activity status of a requesting device;
an identifying component for identifying an activity history for the requesting device;
a comparing component for comparing the current activity status with the activity history to derive a statistical data set; and
an analysing component for analysing the statistical data set to derive a time period in which the requesting device is available for processing job requests. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer program product loadable into the internal memory of a digital computer for determining a plurality of scheduling endpoints in a grid network, each scheduling endpoint comprising a device for processing job requests communicated across the network, comprising software code portions for performing, when said product is run on a computer, for:
-
examining a communication across the network in order to determine a current activity status of a requesting device;
identifying an activity history for the requesting device;
comparing the current activity status with the activity history to derive a statistical data set; and
analysing the statistical data set to derive a time period in which the requesting device is available for processing job requests.
