Abstract: A first executing unit executes, among tasks included in a first workflow, a first task group including one or more tasks using a resource.

After the resource is restored to the former state prior to the execution of the first task group, a second executing unit starts executing, among tasks included in a second workflow, a second task group including one or more tasks using the resource.

Abstract: In the information recording apparatus, by driving the light source by the pulse signal corresponding to the recording signal, the laser pulse corresponding to the recording signal is irradiated onto the recording medium. The recording signal has the mark period to form the recording mark, and the space period in which the recording mark is not formed. In the mark period, the output level of the laser pulse changes between the normal level and the writing level, thereby, the recording mark is formed on the recording medium. On the one hand, over a predetermined period in the space period, the output level of the laser pulse is changed to the low level lower than the normal level. Thereby, the heat accumulation onto the recording medium, due to the transient response of the laser pulse in the mark period, is reduced, and in the mark period after that, the correct recording mark can be formed.
