After some thinking, I decided to put that into the JobSession  
interface:

=== snip ===
interface JobSession {
  readonly attribute string contact;
  readonly attribute string sessionName;
  Job getJob(string jobId);
  sequence<Job> getSessionJobs(JobInfo filter);
  sequence<Job> getAllJobs(JobInfo filter);
  Job runJob(in DRMAA::JobTemplate jobTemplate) raises (???);
...
=== snip ===
Non-session jobs are identified by not having the Job::session  
attribute set. I am still unsure about the "filtering for current  
user" part, since this would bring us the concept of  user name, which  
was omitted so far.

Best,
Peter.
