Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for optimizing schedules used in implementing plans for performing tasks in data processing systems. For example, an automated method of negotiating for resources in a data processing system, wherein the data processing system comprises multiple sites, comprises a negotiation management component of a computer system at a given one of the sites performing the following steps. One or more tasks from at least one source of one or more plans are obtained. Each plan is annotated with one or more needed resources and one or more potential resource providers at one or more sites in the data processing system. An optimized resource negotiation schedule based on the one or more obtained tasks is computed. The schedule comprises an order in which resources are negotiated. In accordance with the optimized resource negotiation schedule, a request for each needed resource is sent to the one or more potential resource providers such that a negotiation process is performed between the negotiation management component and at least one of the potential resource providers.
