Task control system

A task control system which assigns a plurality of tasks to each of a plurality of arithmetic processing resources constituting a distributed processing system, the resources being connected to be communicable with each other via a communication network, the task control system comprising:

• a load detection component configured to detect an indication value which represents a degree of an arithmetic processing load required for executing each of the plurality of tasks;
• a determination component configured to determine whether or not the indication value detected by the load detection component satisfies a predetermined condition;
• a state detection component configured to detect states or occurring events concerning simultaneous execution of the plurality of tasks;
• and
• an assignment component configured to assign each of the plurality of tasks to each of the plurality of arithmetic processing resources in a different order of priority depending on a difference in the states detected by the state detection component on a requirement that the determination component determines that the indication value satisfies the predetermined condition,
• wherein the state detection component detects, in distinction from each other, plural states different in a level of an effect degree on an entity present in an area,
• wherein the plural states include a first state in which the effect degree on the entity is relatively low and a second state in which the effect degree on the entity is relatively high,
• wherein the first state is a state having high probability of traffic jam occurring,
• wherein the second state is a state in which a disaster occurred,
• wherein the first state is a state including at least one of a state in which a current time being included in a specified time zone having high probability of traffic jam occurring in the area where the entity is present, a state in which a weather condition having high probability of traffic jam occurring in the area, and a state in which an event being held with high probability of traffic jam occurring in the area, and
• wherein the load detection component detects a first indication value representing a degree of an arithmetic processing load required for executing a first task as the specified task which includes deriving first information concerning the area depending on a request received from the entity or a first client thereof, and detects a second indication value representing a degree of an arithmetic processing load required for executing a second task as another task which includes deriving second information concerning the area based on basic information received from a second client.
