Abstract: A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for optimizing the fractional allocation of a computing resource among multiple partitions in a data processing system. Multiple processing attributes are defined. A policy is generated for a first partition. The policy includes the definition of the processing attributes. Current values are determined for the first partition for the processing attributes. The policy and the current values are then used to determine a fractional portion of the resource to be allocated to the first partition.

Abstract: Sending E-Mail including the conventional implementation enabling the sender of an electronic mail document to specify users to receive the document; but, in addition, the process invites the sender creating the E-Mail to prompt the sender with more potential recipients as the sender, proceeds with the creation of the E-Mail message. An address book is maintained including the E-Mail addresses of a set of names of selected recipients who regularly receive E-Mail from the sender. Then, there is monitoring the text being entered for words with initial capital letters combined with an implementation responsive to the monitoring for determining if a located word with an initial capital corresponds to a name in said address book. The corresponding name to the designated recipients of the E-Mail message provided the sender interactively agrees to do so.
