System and method for burstiness-aware scheduling and capacity assessment on a network of electronic devices

Abstract

A system and method for establishing a burstiness metric is presented including at least one processor and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the computer-readable storage medium comprises one or more programming instructions for performing the steps of: receiving information related to a plurality of tasks performed by a plurality of electronic devices based on input received from one or more users; analyzing the received information; employing an availability model to the information analyzed; and generating a schedule based on the information analyzed and the availability model by redistributing at least one task of the plurality of tasks between the plurality of electronic devices in accordance with electronic device availability and computational loads. Also, an assessment is made based on the information analyzed to determine a proportion of the plurality of tasks to be supported to achieve a required quality of service.
