The RSS package

The Resource Selection Service (RSS) is a Java service that provides
a peer-to-peer network (exploiting the Cyclon communication layer) to
efficiently locate computing resources based on their static attributes. 

RSS interacts with SRDS, and the two modules run inside the same JVM 
and have one instance per computing resource. Beside that, the RSS network
needs an additional bootstrap node to manage nodes that want to join 
the RSS overlay. This node (also called Tracker) has to be active on 
exactly one node and its address needs to be specified in the RSS config 
file.
