Patent number: 8286187Abstract: Resource management system is provided, implemented between a service bundle developer and provider and a service bundle user. A resource requirement determining device determines a system resource requirement for a service bundle provided by the service bundle developer and provider, and generates resource requirement information corresponding to the service bundle. A processor receives information of system resource utilization status from the service bundle user, determines whether available resource of the service bundle user is sufficient for the resource requirement of the service bundle, when the available resource of the service bundle user is insufficient, the processor generates a waiting queue, and adds the service bundle into the waiting queue. When available resource of the service bundle user is sufficient, the processor installs the service bundle specified in the waiting queue in the service user. A storage device stores the waiting queue and corresponding resource requirement information.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2008Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Ting-Wei Hou, Pang-Chieh Wang, Yi-Shuan Hung, Sheng-An Jang, Cheng-Liang Lin, Wen-Wei Lin
