SmartExecutor
The SmartExecutor service allows to execute "gCube Tasks". Each instance of the SmartExecutor service can run the "gCube Tasks" related to the plugins available on such an instance.
Each instance of the SmartExecutor service publishes descriptive information about the co-deployed plugins.
Clients may interact with the Executor service through a library of high-level facilities that subsumes standard service stubs to simplify the discovery of available tasks in those instances.
Each client can request to execute a Task or getting informations about the state of their execution.

General Information
Plugins
The SmartExecutor uses a ServiceEndpoint with Category: VREManagement and Name: SmartExecutor to publish information regarding the co-deployed plugins and their own information.
SmartExecutor interaction
The SmartExecutor service provides a client library to simplify the following procedures:
- discover service instances that can execute the target task. This requires interaction with the Information System.
- launch the execution of the task with one the discovered instances.
- monitor the execution of the running task.

Plugin Development
SmartExecutor plugins may have arbitrary size and dependencies but must include the following components:
Tasks
Note: Plugins are instantiated by the Executor and thus must have have a zero-argument constructor.
Development Environment and Testing
This [Eclipse project] may be used to kick-off plugin development and testing.
