While grid computing is an evolving concept with many dimensions, JobServer can be viewed as a tool that can enable some aspects of grid computing. • How does JobServer relate to open source standards and technologies? Overall JobServer itself is not open source, but aspects of it are. The TaskBean API is open source enabling developers to create new components using an open API. Other open source projects like beansoup and jobrunner also support the TaskBean API by providing supporting tools outside of the JobServer product. This insures users, that they will not be locked into a proprietary technology, and gives them greater access and control over their assets. JobServer also uses other open source APIs and technologies where applicable, such as echo and tomcat. There are also plans to expose the JobServer’s scheduling rules as an open source API. This will allow open source development of custom scheduling rules and patterns.
