As ASM-based Model for Grid Job Management

Job Execution Management Services in Grid systems are generally implemented using specific Grid middleware, and they are considered very critical for the success of the entire system. In order to better manage complexity and criticality, literature suggests the use of robust formal models to describe and analyze these services. This paper abstracts strategic services in Grid Systems, proposes an Abstract State Machine-based model to design them, and implements them by the coreASM tool. The obtained results lead to consider the usage of Abstract State Machine models as a concrete control appliance for Grid system
