Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus including setting a memory swap size limit, the limit being lower than a memory swap size defining a maximum size of a part of said memory resources used for swap, obtaining a score for at least one running program, a high score corresponding to a low priority level, obtaining monitoring information representative of a monitored activity of the program during a time period and of a learnt user's habit of use of the program, including a number of times the program gained the focus within the time period. The disclosure also includes deriving a score delta from information with a decrement value to the score delta at each focus gained by the program, adjusting the score by adding the delta, and terminating execution when memory swap size limit is reached and the adjusted score reaches a memory swap size limit threshold.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method to be performed in an electronic device, for monitoring the execution of a software program including at least one watched process, the monitoring method including periodic reading, by a supervisor process, of a memory zone shared by the watched process and the supervisor process. According to an embodiment, the method further includes conditional forcing, by the supervisor process, of a booting of a watched process of the software program, the conditional forcing taking into account an update of a first read memory zone between two successive readings and a previous conditional forcing. The disclosure also relates to the corresponding electronic device, communication system, computer readable program product and computer readable storage medium.
