A computer system, comprising: a resource; a process configured to use the resource; a dispatcher; characterised by: a first policy module, the first policy module being associated with the process and adapted at least to issue a resource allocation request to request an allocation of the resource to the process; a master policy module, the master policy module being configured to select the first policy module out of a plurality of policy modules, to issue a query directly to the first policy module, to receive, responsive to the issued query, the resource allocation request from the first policy module and to issue a corresponding resource allocation order, responsive to the received resource allocation request to the dispatcher, wherein the resource allocation order specifies the requested resource; and said dispatcher being configured to execute the resource allocation order, thereby binding the resource specified in the resource allocation order to the process; wherein the process is one of a plurality of processes and the first policy module is one of a plurality of policy modules, at least one of the plurality of policy modules being associated with at least one of the plurality of processes and wherein the master policy module is adapted to selectably and directly query a selected one of the plurality of policy modules. a resource; a process configured to use the resource; a dispatcher; characterised by: a first policy module, the first policy module being associated with the process and adapted at least to issue a resource allocation request to request an allocation of the resource to the process; a master policy module, the master policy module being configured to select the first policy module out of a plurality of policy modules, to issue a query directly to the first policy module, to receive, responsive to the issued query, the resource allocation request from the first policy module and to issue a corresponding resource allocation order, responsive to the received resource allocation request to the dispatcher, wherein the resource allocation order specifies the requested resource; and said dispatcher being configured to execute the resource allocation order, thereby binding the resource specified in the resource allocation order to the process; wherein the process is one of a plurality of processes and the first policy module is one of a plurality of policy modules, at least one of the plurality of policy modules being associated with at least one of the plurality of processes and wherein the master policy module is adapted to selectably and directly query a selected one of the plurality of policy modules. a first policy module, the first policy module being associated with the process and adapted at least to issue a resource allocation request to request an allocation of the resource to the process; a master policy module, the master policy module being configured to select the first policy module out of a plurality of policy modules, to issue a query directly to the first policy module, to receive, responsive to the issued query, the resource allocation request from the first policy module and to issue a corresponding resource allocation order, responsive to the received resource allocation request to the dispatcher, wherein the resource allocation order specifies the requested resource; and said dispatcher being configured to execute the resource allocation order, thereby binding the resource specified in the resource allocation order to the process; wherein the process is one of a plurality of processes and the first policy module is one of a plurality of policy modules, at least one of the plurality of policy modules being associated with at least one of the plurality of processes and wherein the master policy module is adapted to selectably and directly query a selected one of the plurality of policy modules.
