-    * Write XML 'template files' that describe the job's input and outputs (typically the same template files can be used for many jobs).
-    * Create the job's input file(s), and put them in the right places (as determined by the file names) in the [DirHierarchy download directory hierarchy].
-    * Invoke a BOINC function or script that submits the job.
