Claim Text:
1. A method for estimating an allocation of resources to consumers, the method performed by a computing device having a processor and a memory, the method implemented by operations performed using the processor and the memory, with the operations comprising: obtaining data that defines a desired scenario for an allocation of the resources to consumers, wherein the allocation of the resources in the desired scenario includes a concurrent deployment of an individual resource of the resources to multiple consumers of the consumers; obtaining data that changes the desired scenario for a usage of the resources by the consumers, wherein the desired scenario is changed based on characteristics of a projected queue including variable wait times for the usage of the resources by the consumers, and wherein the consumers enter the projected queue to attempt usage of the resources at varying times; generating a projected scenario for the allocation of the resources to the consumers, the projected scenario including the usage of the resources by the consumers at the varying times based on the allocation of the resources to resource demand from the projected queue; performing a regression analysis on the projected scenario to determine relationships among variables affecting the projected scenario; and scheduling the resources using the relationships obtained from among the variables analyzed in the projected scenario.
