Embodiments of the invention are concerned with scheduling resources to perform tasks requiring a plurality of capabilities or capabilities and capacities, and has particular application to highly changeable or uncertain environments in which the status and the composition of tasks and/or resources changes frequently. Embodiments provide a method for use in a scheduling process for scheduling allocation of resources to a task, each resource having a plurality of attributes, wherein the task has one or more operational constraints including a required plurality of capabilities, and a performance condition associated therewith. The method comprises: receiving data indicative of a change to the status of the scheduling process; in response to receipt of the status data, reviewing the attributes of individual resources so as to identify combinations of resources able to collectively satisfy said capability requirements of the task; evaluating each identified combination of resources in accordance with a performance algorithm so as to identify an associated performance cost; selecting a combination of resources whose identified performance cost meets the performance condition; and scheduling said task on the basis of said selected combination of resources. In embodiments of this aspect of the invention, changes to resource configurations are effected as part of the scheduling process. These changes can be made dynamically, in response to the occurrence of events that have a bearing on the scheduling process, and involve aggregating resources together so as to create, essentially, a new resource pool from which selection can be made.

The present disclosure provides for distributed resource scheduling performed by an advanced resource scheduling (ARS) module implemented on a distributed grid management (DGM) server in a power system. The ARS module is configured to automatically generate a resource schedule for controllable distributed energy resources (e.g., resources that are remotely controllable by DGM server and ARS module) in a distribution network of the power system, such as power generation resources and energy storage resources, to provide power in a cost-effective (e.g., optimal) manner. The ARS module is configured to take into account the operating limits of the distributed energy resources (DERs), the cost curves of the DERs, the system load demand, and other operating constraints to determine the most economical operating plan for the DERs, using an optimization technique such as the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm.

The invention relates to a cloud computing resource scheduling method based on dynamic reconfiguration virtual resources. The method comprises the steps of: using cloud application load information collected by a cloud application monitor as a basis; making a dynamic decision based on the load capacity of the virtual resources for running cloud application and the current load of the cloud application; and dynamically reconfiguring virtual resources for cloud application based on the decision result. Dynamic adjustment of resources is realized by a method for reconfiguring virtual resources for cloud application, without needing dynamic redistribution of physical resources or stopping executing cloud application. The method can dynamically reconfigure the virtual resources according to the load variation of the cloud application, optimize allocation of the cloud computing resources, realize effective use of the cloud computing resources, and meet the requirements on dynamic scalability of cloud application. In addition, the method can avoid waste of the cloud computing resources, and save the cost for using resources for cloud application users.

Embodiments of the invention are concerned with allocating resources to tasks and have particular application to situations where the availability of resources and the tasks to be performed change dynamically and the resources are mobile.

When dealing with a mobile resource such as a field technician, typically a series of tasks, known for example as a “tour” of tasks, is allocated to the resource. A known factor in scheduling tasks in a tour is travel time between tasks, and as a result the geographical position of the tasks can be a factor in building a tour. If a resource reports in and the scheduling system adjusts the provisional schedule, for example by adding one or more tasks to a tour, those tasks will be chosen at least in part with regard to the geographical location of the resource and that of existing tasks in the tour. This assessment is conventionally performed on the basis of the coordinates of the task completed by the resource (which are fixed), and is adequate when the resource is physically present at the task location when he reports in. However, in practice, a resource may not be at the expected geographical location of the last task dealt with. For example, a telephone technician may go back to the telephone exchange before reporting in; in such a situation, any decisions as regards adjustment of the schedule may be based on inaccurate data and result in a degenerative modification to the schedule.

Embodiments of the invention utilise a selection criterion that enables actual location data to be used for scheduling of future work: this selection criterion is associated with the status of the resource in relation to progress with a given task, and can most appropriately be identified on the basis of whether or not the resource has completed a task. An advantage of basing the use of actual location data on this criterion is that the state of the resource is relatively stable in relation to various anchor points in the schedule when a task has been completed. As a result a point that is known with some confidence in the schedule can be mapped to the present location of the resource.

Provided are a system and a method for data retrieval which identify from requested data retrieval operations those operations which require a particular processing task to be performed, and then separate those operations from operations not requiring the processing task. The separated sets of tasks are queued separately for independent processing. This enables resource scheduling to be performed which avoids the operations which do not require performance of the task from having to wait for the operations which do require the task. This is an advantage where the task is a processor-intensive task such as digital watermarking of images.A particular resource allocation method includes enqueuing the set of operations requiring the processing task in a circularly linked list and then employing a scheduler to implement a round-robin allocation of resources for each of the system users in turn.Also provided is a pre-fetch policy whereby sets of data objects are retrieved from a data repository for processing in response to data retrieval requests and post-retrieval processing such as watermarking is initiated before an individual data object in the set has been selected.
