IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2006-11-22
Abstract: A method in a computer system and a computer program for guaranteeing execution of content images are disclosed. The computer program comprises computer executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to obtain a content image and its associated content image policy for execution on the computer system; determine that a service window is available for executing the content image by comparing a present time, a start time and an end time of the service window, and an approximate execution time for the content image and execute the content image on the computer system during the service window. The content image policy specifies the approximate execution time for the content image and the approximate execution time is an estimate of the amount of time required for the content image to execute. The service window is available when the present time is later than the start time and time from the present time to the end time is sufficient for the content image to execute based on the approximate execution time.
