Abstract :
This paper presents the application of the PIF algorithm for resource reservation in a network enabled server environment with distributed scheduling agents. Hierarchical scheduling is applied to improve the scalability of the overall architecture. Fault tolerance problems are also addressed using timers. The simulation shows that gains can be obtained using such a platform over single scheduler approaches.
