Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for managing resources, including a server adapted for interacting with at least one control system to schedule multiple jobs using at least one resource is disclosed. The system further comprises an agent adapted for monitoring execution of the at least one resource and a database server adapted for storing at least one grid resource data. Furthermore, the system includes an interface adapted for submitting the multiple jobs to the at least one resource in addition with various meta-attributes. In one embodiment of the present technique, the system comprises a method for providing an integrated and service oriented architecture to the system. Furthermore, the system implements adaptation and manageability concepts and integrates scheduling capabilities.
