20110289333 | METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY DISTRIBUTING ONE OR MORE SERVICES IN A NETWORK COMPRISED OF A PLURALITY OF COMPUTERS - The invention relates to a method for dynamically distributing one or more services in a network comprised of a plurality of computers. According to certain aspects of the invention, a past chronological progression of a resource capacity required for a respective service according to a prescribed service requirement is derived from a past chronological progression of the resource demand for the respective service in a predetermined time interval. The past chronological progression of the resource capacity required for the respective service is then used to predict a chronological progression of the resource capacity required for the respective service. The services performed on the computers are finally distributed based on one or more optimization criteria, including that the respective computers provide enough resources for the services performed on the respective computers based on the predicted chronological progressions of the resource capacities required for the respective services. | 11-24-2011 |
