Abstract: A system and method for managing computer applications running among computing systems based on determined risk of resource saturation is disclosed. In one embodiment, a volatility of resource usage for each computing system is computed based on computed resource usage gains/losses associated with each computing system. A current resource usage of each computing system is then determined. Further, a risk of resource saturation is determined by comparing the computed volatility of resource usage with the determined current resource usage of each computing system. The computer applications running among the computing systems are then managed using the determined risk of resource saturation associated with each computing system.

Abstract: A system and method for managing resources in a partitioned computing system using determined risk of resource saturation is disclosed. In one example embodiment, the partitioned computing system includes one or more partitions. A volatility of resource usage for each partition is computed based on computed resource usage gains/losses associated with each partition. A current resource usage of each partition is then determined. Further, a risk of resource saturation is determined by comparing the computed volatility of resource usage with the determined current resource usage of each partition. The resources in the partitioned computing system are then managed using the determined risk of resource saturation associated with each partition.

Abstract: Methods for communicating parameterised information between entities which in, at least, one embodiment comprise a method of specifying the state of a node in a network comprising the steps of: defining n parameters Ai={A1, A2 . . . An}, where i=(1,n), which specify the state S of the node; defining a m row by n column matrix [Bm,n] where each parameter Ai corresponds to a range of m values Bj,i where j=(1,m), wherein the values Bj,i are prime numbers selected and arranged so that the state S can be uniquely represented by the product P of n primes Bj,1, Bj,2 . . . Bj,n, where j=(1,m).
