Abstract
This paper discusses the requirements for and functionalities of resource management systems for future generation Grids. To this end it is also necessary to review the actual scope of future Grids. Here we examine differences and similarities of current Grid systems and distinguish several Grid scenarios to highlight the different understandings of the term Grid which exist today. While we expect that a generic Grid infrastructure cannot suite all application scenarios, it would certainly be beneficial to many of them to share such an infrastructure. Instead of identifying a minimal subset of necessary Grid middleware functionalities, we postulate that Grids need a resource management system both well-designed and rich in features to be usable for a large variety of applications. This includes for example extended functionalities for information and negotiation services which can be used by automatic scheduling and brokering solutions.
