A method of administering resource utilisation in a computer comprises runni ng a first process (13, 14, 15) to make a reservation for access to a resource in dependence on a resource requirement communication from an application (21) and running a second process (16, 17, 19) to grant requests for access to sa id resource from said application in dependence on said reservation. A further process (12) provides a common interface between the first process (13, 14, 15) for each resource and the application (21). The further process (12) converts high-level abstract resource requirement definitions into formats applicable to the first process (13, 14, 15) for the resource in question. T he processes are preferably implemented at methods of software objects. |
