The disclosure aims to solve the general problem of managing the system with multiple resources of different types. In particular, the disclosure is intended for the sharing of resources between multiple applications that can be executed on a computer platform for situations involving the addition of new resources that were not initially provided in order to achieve these objectives, conflicts are avoided between shared resources starting at the application, with access rights being allocated for each application, while an opening is maintained for the addition of new applications and resources. More specifically, according to this method for managing the resources of a computer system, that are shared between multiple applications, allocation rules are provided during the execution of the applications and the rules generate access rights for each application in relation to each shared resource in the form of successive steps. The steps are controlled for each shared resource by a specific control module and, with each command, a decision criteria module parameterization step checks the rule for allocating access rights, whereby the decision criteria can be shared between at least parts of the control modules.
A method for managing resources of a computer system shared between a plurality of applications, the method comprising during the execution of such applications, allocation rules generate, for each application, rights of access to each shared resource in the form of successive sequenced steps controlled, for each shared or added resource, by a specific control module, and in that with each command a decision criteria module parameterization step checks the rules for allocating access rights, wherein the decision criteria can be shared between at least part of the control modules.
A module supervising the management of shared resources of a computer system the module comprising an application space, a first series of components allowing the implementation of inter related decision criteria and a second series of components allowing controlling access to the resources in multiple connections with the first series, requests for utilizing resources and requests for access to the resources, respectively transmitted through specific connections from the application space to the decision criteria components and to the resources access control components, thus being treated by the components of the supervising module to share the resources.
