The invention relates to a system and a method for tracking and executing a job comprising a series of tasks. Each task may be executed on a separate computing device. The method comprises having a workload manager to identify an initial schedule of implementation for the job; having agents to selectively control execution of the tasks; and utilizing a publish/subscription interface between the workload manager and the agents to isolate the communications of the workload manager from the agents. The workload manager and the agents each subscribe and schedule execution of and reporting of the tasks through the publish/subscription interface.

The invention relates to a system and a method for tracking and executing a job comprising a series of tasks. Each task is executable on a separate computing device. The method comprises: utilizing a workload manager to identify an initial schedule of implementation for the job; utilizing agents to selectively control execution of the tasks; and for each agent, utilizing a publish/subscription interface to isolate communications of the workload manager from each agent and to communicate with other publish/subscription interfaces of other agents to determine when to activate its task. The interface utilizes a broker adapted to communicate with other brokers to disseminate communications amongst the agents.
