Abstract:
1. A resource allocation system comprising: a resource monitoring unit, as executed by a processor, which measures a current capacity and/or a current usage of a resource to be managed when the resource monitoring unit receives a request that the resource is newly allocated in order to start a service; an allocation adjustment unit, as executed by the processor, which determines an amount of the resource allocated to the service, based on the current capacity and/or current usage of the measured resource; and a resource allocation unit, as executed by the processor, which reserves the resource allocated to the service according to the amount determined by the allocation adjustment unit, wherein when the amount of the resource can be determined the allocation adjustment unit sends information of the resource reserved by the resource allocation unit to a source of the request, and when the amount of the resource can not be determined the allocation adjustment unit returns a message, which indicates a failure to reserve the resource allocated to the service, to the source of the request.
