Abstract
Predicting future utilization of a resource. The predicting future utilization of a resource may include receiving inquiries for a potential future utilization of the resource for different future points in time, recording time-based patterns of the received inquiries, recording a historic actual utilization value of the resource, and determining a future utilization of the resource using the recorded time-based patterns of the received inquiries, the recorded historic actual utilization value of the resource and a current inquiry pattern of the resource.
Claims8
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- one or more processors in communication with the memory;
- and
- program instructions executable by the one or more processors via the memory to perform a method, the method comprising:
- predicting, by the one or more processors, future utilization of a resource at a future point in time, the predicting comprising:
- receiving, by the one or more processors, inquiries on potential future utilization of the resource for different future points in time, wherein each inquiry comprising a portion of the inquiries is received over an Internet connection from a client browser to a server communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and the memory;
- recording, by the one or more processors, time-based patterns of the inquiries that are received to provide recorded time-based patterns of received inquiries;
- recording, by the one or more processors, an historic actual utilization value of the resource to provide a recorded historic actual utilization value;
- and
- determining, by the one or more processors, future utilization of the resource at a given future time using the recorded time-based patterns of received inquiries, the recorded historic actual utilization value of the resource, and a current inquiry pattern for the resource;
- and
- performing, by the one or more processors, a maintenance action on the resource in advance of the given time, based on the determined future utilization.
A computer program product for predicting future utilization of a resource at a future point in time, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, inquiries of potential future utilization of the resource for different future points in time, wherein each inquiry comprising a portion of the inquiries is received over an Internet connection from a client browser to a server communicatively coupled to the processor;
- recording time-based patterns of the inquiries that are received, providing recorded time-based patterns of received inquiries;
- recording a historic actual utilization value of the resource, providing a recorded historic actual utilization value;
- determining future utilization of the resource at a given future time using the recorded time-based patterns of the received inquiries, the recorded historic actual utilization value of the resource and a current inquiry pattern for the resource;
- and
- performing, by the processor, a maintenance action on the resource in advance of the given time, based on the determined future utilization.
