A request for an action may be communicated from a source entity to a target entity. The action is generated by the source entity and which is to be responded by the target entity. Further, a response time corresponding to the action may be determined based on prior execution experience of one or more jobs associated with the action and a learning rate. Thereafter, the source entity may be allowed to wait for a response corresponding to a completion of the action from the target entity for at least a time duration corresponding to the response time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: communicating, by a source entity, a request for an action to a target entity, wherein the request is generated by the source entity and is to be acted upon by the target entity by performing one or more jobs; determining, by the source entity, a response time corresponding to the action based on prior execution experience of the one or more jobs associated with the action and a learning rate; and waiting, by the source entity, for a response corresponding to a completion of the action from the target entity for at least a time duration corresponding to the response time. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the response time is a wait time. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the response time is an acknowledge time. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the prior execution experience is an experienced time of execution learned by the source entity. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the experienced time of execution corresponding to a job of the one or more jobs is an average time of execution corresponding to all previous execution of the job. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the experienced time of execution corresponding to a job of the one or more jobs is a moving average time of execution corresponding to all previous execution of the job. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising retrieving the experienced time of execution corresponding to the one or more jobs from an experience table. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising determining a buffer deviation time based on the learning rate and a predetermined value. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein determining the response time comprises summing the experienced time of execution corresponding to the one or more jobs and the buffer deviation time. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: recording an actual time duration for completion of the action; and updating the learning rate based on the actual time duration for completion of the action. ### Claim 11 A system comprising: a machine-readable medium storing executable instructions; and a processing resource coupled to the machine-readable medium to execute the instructions to: communicate a request from a source entity for an action to a target entity, wherein the request is generated by the source entity and is to be acted upon by the target entity by performing one or more jobs; determine a response time corresponding to the action based on prior execution experience of one or more jobs associated with the action and a learning rate; and wait for a response corresponding to a completion of the action from the target entity for at least a time duration corresponding to the response time. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the prior execution experience is an experienced time of execution learned by the source entity. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the experienced time of execution corresponding to a job of the one or more jobs is a moving average time of execution corresponding to all previous execution of the job. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the processing resource retrieves the experienced time of execution corresponding to the one or more jobs from an experience table. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the processing resource determines a buffer deviation time based on the learning rate and a predetermined value. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein, to determine the response time, the processing resource sums the experienced time of execution corresponding to the one or more jobs and the buffer deviation time. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the processing resource is to: record an actual time duration for completion of the action; and update the learning rate based on the actual time duration for completion of the action. ### Claim 18 A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource, the instructions comprising: instructions to communicate a request from a source entity for an action to a target entity, wherein the request is generated by the source entity and is to be acted upon by the target entity by performing one or more jobs; instructions to determine a response time corresponding to the action based on prior execution experience of one or more jobs associated with the action and a learning rate, wherein the prior execution experience is an experienced time of execution learned by the source entity; and instructions to allow the source entity to wait for a response corresponding to a completion of the action from the target entity for at least a time duration corresponding to the response time. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17, further comprising instructions to retrieve the experienced time of execution corresponding to the one or more jobs from an experience table. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17, further comprising instructions to sum the experienced time of execution corresponding to the one or more jobs and a buffer deviation time to determine the response time, wherein the buffer deviation time is determined based on the learning rate and a predetermined number.
