What are some good books about job scheduling algorithms?
We need to implement a job scheduler: not OS process scheduling, but task/batch job scheduling on a compute grid (which is expandable with some lag, as it's in EC2). It's devilishly hard to search accurately for, as there's a variety of terminology involved and a lot of it overlaps with various other fields. I'd happily accept suggestions for more useful search keywords.

I've got Pinedo, _Scheduling: Theory, Algorithms, and Systems, 3rd ed._, which seems like the most approachable, though that's relative.

Anyone have any good other suggestions for a team with CS bachelor's degrees and years of experience? A book more along the lines of a Pragmatic Programmers book would be swell, though I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything and this is actually a fairly arcane field.
