• means for comparing the resource requirements with the resource capability for determining excess resource capability, resource capability overflow and equal resource capability;
• means for identifying a prioritized task category including a plurality of prioritized tasks to be adjusted for equalizing the resource capability and the resource requirements;
• and
• means for adjusting the number of prioritized tasks in the identified prioritized task category for equalizing the resource capability and the resource requirements.
