The Management System for Heterogeneous Networks (MSHN) project is part of the DARPA/ITO Quorum program. Quorum’s goal is to develop technologies to allow mission-critical defense applications to achieve survivable, predictable, and controllable quality of service on a globally managed pool of dis- tributed resources.
The goal of the MSHN Project is to explore the application of adaptive and heuristic matching and scheduling techniques, and modern distributed security methods, to a distributed heterogeneous resource management system (RMS) which allows system resources to be accessed by both MSHN-controlled and external applications. To validate our research and engineering assumptions, a prototype version of MSHN has been developed and demonstrated
