Many authors recognize the limitations of hierarchical Grid scheduling in scalable environments, and proposed peer-to-peer solutions to this problem. However, most peer-to-peer grid resource management systems allow only to discover available resources at the time of the request. We claim that peer-to-peer techniques have the potential for actual Grid scheduling, where each resource maintains a schedule of its future allocation to jobs. We present such a protocol, which additionally allows users to specify desired properties about the requested schedules.
