As technology expands to cover more places and people, it becomes increasingly difficult to write applications that effectively use large numbers of diverse resources. For our purposes, resource management involves both selecting appropriate resources for a given application, and allocating these scarce resources among applications. Existing resource managers fall short of fulfilling these needs on a large scale. As such, we are working on a new system that operates more effectively, especially with multiple users and locations. This system takes a more decision theoretic approach to resource request arbitration.
