The solution of the vehicle routing problem reformulated as the job shop scheduling problem is performed as a decision-making process. To obtain solutions we use limited discrepancy search. We argue that, with such an operating system, accounting of energy to individual processes can be achieved. Furthermore, we investigate how an economic model, proposed for congestion avoidance in computer network, and recently applied to CPU resource management, can be used as a dynamic, decentralised energy management system, forming a collaborative environment between operating system and applications. This is a practise talk for a presentation to be given at the HotOS-VIII workshop.
Any feedback is appreciated.

And in a class of 400 or more, with the markin g done by upwards of 20 different tutors, the development of appropriate software seemed the only realistic approach to th e detection of collusion. The results have been dramatic. Those involved have all been shocked by the level of collusion that has been revealed. The first such revelations led to substantial press coverage in the summer of 1999, and to changes in the University s pro cedures for dealing with this problem.
