Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method of scheduling batch processing of a batch processing system, comprising: automatically recording subscriber usage events based on subscriber usage patterns collected in response to subscriber background usage, wherein said subscriber usage events are identified from any of subscriber interactions with the batch processing system via a user interface provided by the batch processing system, and when background usage for the subscriber occurs; recording a last job commencement event for a subscriber when the batch processing system starts processing a batch process for the subscriber; recording a last usage event for the subscriber when the subscriber uses the batch processing system; in an event that a time period elapsed since the last usage event for the subscriber is less than a time period elapsed since the last job commencement event for the subscriber, placing a next batch process of the subscriber into a recently used queue; identifying the next batch process of the subscriber as the oldest batch process from the recently used queue; and starting processing of the identified batch process for the subscriber.
