<p>Haizea is currently developed by <a href="http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~borja/">Borja Sotomayor</a>, a PhD student at the University of Chicago. The Haizea system is the brainchild of Borja Sotomayor, <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~keahey/">Kate Keahey</a> and <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~foster/">Ian Foster</a>. The design and main ideas behind the Haizea system were first presented in the paper <a href="http://workspace.globus.org/papers/hpdc242s-sotomayor.pdf">Combining Batch Execution and Leasing Using Virtual Machines</a> (HPDC, 2008), co-authored by Borja, Kate, and Ian.</p>
-<p>Haizea was originally funded, from 2006 to 2008, by NSF grant #509408 "Virtual Playgrounds" as part of the <a href="http://workspace.globus.org/">Globus Virtual Workspaces</a> group, headed by Kate Keahey, at <a href="http://www.anl.gov/">Argonne National Laboratory</a>. The <a href="http://workspace.globus.org/papers/">Workspaces publications page</a> has an extensive list of papers detailing work on which Haizea builds upon, specially the lease abstraction. Development of Haizea is currently funded by the European Union's FP7 <a href="http://www.reservoir-fp7.eu/">Reservoir</a> project ("Resources and Services Virtualization without Barriers").</p>

<li><strong>Haizea is a resource manager</strong> (or, depending on who you ask, a "resource scheduler"): Haizea is a software component that can manage a set of computers (typically a cluster), allowing users to request exclusive use of those resources described in a variety of terms, such as "I need 10 nodes, each with 1 GB of memory, right now" or "I need 4 nodes, each with 2 CPUs and 2GB of memory, from 2pm to 4pm tomorrow".</li>
-<li><strong>Haizea uses leases</strong>: The fundamental resource provisioning abstraction in Haizea is the <em>lease</em>. Intuitively, a lease is some form of contract where one party agrees to provide a set of resources (an apartment, a car, etc.) to another party. When a user wants to request computational resources from Haizea, it does so in the form of a lease. When applied to computational resources, the lease abstraction is a powerful and general construct with a lot of nuances.

<li><strong>Using Haizea on its own</strong>: Haizea is, primarily, a VM resource management component that can take lease requests and make scheduling decisions, but doesn't actually know anything about how to <em>enact</em> those decisions. For example, Haizea may determine at what times a set of VMs representing a lease must start and stop, but it doesn't actually know how to instruct a virtual machine manager to do these actions. Haizea can, however, simulate those enactment actions so, on its own, Haizea can be useful if you're doing scheduling research involving leases or VMs (in fact, the Haizea simulator has been used in <a href="pubs.html">a couple of papers</a>).</li>
