Hello,
I am working on a workflow management systems scheduling project. We
have developed a robust scheduling engine for centralized workflows (
ie., local and not distributed). The technique adopted is from
advanced Operations research.
 
Our appraoch : Modeling the scheduling problem of a WFMS as a Mixed
integer linear programing model and solving it by Branch and Price
algorithm.

But, I would like to know more about the ways in which scheduling is done in WFMS.

The questions which I seek answers are listed below...

1) I would like to know various scheduling methods/approaches out
there which are used to schedule jobs/tasks in a workflow management
system. Here "out-there"  refers to 'research' and in industry.

2) I would like to know what scheduling approach is suitable to a
particular scenario.
For eg; we can use agent technology for a distributed scenario but for
a centralized environment ..a scheduling algorithm does the job.

In a nut shell I can say that I want to know job scheduling methods in
WFMS and information on the methods/appraoches used in current WFMS
commercial products.

I would greatly appreciate if a qualified researcher takes up this question.
I would increase my price when I know that the question is being well
understood and is answered in the right direction.
