Abstract
A system and method for specifying the placement of and managing the placement of objects on a distributed networked grid. Some embodiments of the invention comprise a user interface for specifying rules for the placement of objects on the grid and an execution module that places objects on the grid based on the rules specified. Rules may comprise a matching criteria specification, which determines whether a rule applies to a particular object, and a placement specification, which directs the locations at which an object will be placed under the rule.
