Method, system, and computer program for managing a queuing system

A queuing system for managing a queue according to a quality of service parameter, the queue associated with the queuing system, the queue used for receiving requests, the queue associated with a worker thread used to process contents of the queue, the queuing system comprising:

• a queue;
• circuitry to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• placing a first request in the queue;
• permitting the worker thread to process the placed first request;
• determining a response time, the response time being the time taken to complete processing of the placed first request;
• adjusting the worker thread if the determined response time does not satisfy the quality of service parameter;
• processing, by the adjusted worker thread, a second request placed in the queue;
• and
• determining whether a new response time taken to complete processing of the second request satisfies the quality of service parameter.

An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable storage medium having code executed for directing a queuing system to manage a queue according to a quality of service parameter, the queue associated with the queuing system, the queue used for receiving requests, the queue associated with a worker thread used to process contents of the queue, wherein the code is executed to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• placing a first request in the queue;
• permitting the worker thread to process the placed first request;
• determining a response time, the response time being the time taken to complete processing of the placed first request;
• adjusting the worker thread if the determined response time does not satisfy the quality of service parameter;
• processing, by the adjusted worker thread, a second request placed in the queue;
• and
• determining whether a new response time taken to complete processing of the second request satisfies the quality of service parameter.
