  • Task scheduling method and system
    Patent number: 8893130
    Abstract: Provided is a method for scheduling activities. The method includes partitioning tasks provided for scheduling. The partitioning is accomplished by receiving at least one task including at least one data type. The data type is reviewed to determine at least one scheduling criteria and the task is routed to a queue based on the determined scheduling criteria. Each queue also has at least one queue characteristic. The method also includes scheduling the partitioned tasks. The scheduling is accomplished by retrieving the at least one task from the queue in response to a trigger. The retrieved task is routed to at least one scheduler. In a first instance the routing is based on the queue characteristic. In a second instance the routing is based on at least one scheduler characteristic. A scheduling system for performing this method is also provided.
