Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a resource allocation program that upon execution, causes a computer to perform operations comprising:
estimating (i) a course of each mobile terminal based on network information about a location of the mobile terminal acquired from a network device, and (ii) a probability that each mobile terminal is located in each area at time of prediction;
calculating, for each area, a number of mobile terminals in the area using the probability and determining whether a maximum value of an overcommit ratio for each area calculated based on the number of mobile terminals in the area exceeds an upper limit; and
based on the maximum value of the overcommit ratio being equal to or less than the upper limit executing allocation or release of resources to a virtual server group located in each area, and, based on the maximum value of the overcommit ratio exceeding the upper limit, refraining from executing allocation or release of the resources to the virtual server group,
wherein the overcommit ratio is calculated by dividing (i) a number of resources to be committed by (ii) a number of existing resources, the number of resources to be committed being obtained by rounding up the number of mobile terminal to a nearest whole value, and the number of existing resources being a number of resources currently allocated to the virtual server group.
