Dear All:

I need some information about the back-end part of current
Metascheduling for Clouds to provide some useful use-cases. In fact,
at first, Is there any Metascheduler for Clouds?

Can we classify OpenNebula as a Meta-scheduler for Clouds?
If yes, what is its current policies, algorithms and optimization for
Metascheduling in Clouds?
