The method receives a resource request from a resource requesting participant requiring the available resources. The method determines that an estimated resource usage, associated with the resource request, approaches the first resource threshold. The method negotiates with at least one resource consuming participant to voluntarily release resources until the estimated resource usage approaches a second resource threshold associated with the available resources within the process.
