Even if the main idea of a SSI to give a blackbox (the user does not know 
where/when is executed the application), Kerrighed allow to implement any 
scheduling policy. Unfortunately, such a policy (to reserve 
resources, ...etc.) is not implemented right now (that's a reason why I am 
using Torque with SSI-OSCAR).
But anyway, a SSI provides some mechanisms for resource management so do we 
need to include it in the RM_Detect framework? or do you think it is a 
specific case and using a batch system right now, only batch systems are 
important for the framework?
