It determines for each resource provider in a set of resource providers a current load, a requested load corresponding to the requested amount of the resource, and an additional load corresponding to an expected state of an application. It determines for each of the resource providers an expected total load on the basis of the current load, the requested load, and the additional load. It subsequently selects from the set of resource providers a preferred resource provider on the basis of the expected total loads. The resource may be one of the following: memory, processing time, data throughput, power, and usage of a device.
