Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products for job scheduling are disclosed. An exemplary computer-implemented method includes receiving a job in a job scheduling system. At least part of the job is transmitted to a job reader. An indication of one or more functions required for performing the job is received from the job reader. A first computing device is selected from among a plurality of computing devices, where the selection is based, at least in part, on whether the first computing device supports the functions required for performing the job.
