Resource contention arbitration apparatus, resource contention arbitration method and program

A resource conflict arbitration method executed by a resource conflict arbitration apparatus that arbitrates a conflict between resources, the resource conflict arbitration method comprising:

• a reception step of receiving a request for resource allocation to a device among one or more devices;
• a determination step of determining, when a resource requested by the resource allocation request is to be allocated to the device, whether a summed value of resources allocated to the one or more devices exceeds an upper limit value of available resources;
• and
• a calculation step of determining, when it is determined by the determination step that the summed value exceeds the upper limit value, a status of resource allocation to each device to maximize a sum of priorities of resource allocation to the one or more devices under a constraint condition that a summed value of resources allocated to the devices does not exceed the upper limit value.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to function as each means of a resource conflict arbitration apparatus that arbitrates a conflict between resources, the resource conflict arbitration apparatus comprising:

• reception means configured to receive a request for resource allocation to a device among one or more devices;
• determination means configured to determine, when a resource requested by the resource allocation request is to be allocated to the device, whether a summed value of resources allocated to the one or more devices exceeds an upper limit value of available resources;
• and
• calculation means configured to determine, when it is determined by the determination means that the summed value exceeds the upper limit value, a status of resource allocation to each device to maximize a sum of priorities of resource allocation to the one or more devices under a constraint condition that a summed value of resources allocated to the devices does not exceed the upper limit value.
