Automatic employment of resource load information with one or more policies to automatically determine whether to decrease one or more loads
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more policies that comprise one or more dynamically-updateable policies and zero or more fixed policies;
a director component that automatically employs information about one or more of a plurality of loads on a resource in conjunction with the one or more policies to automatically determine whether to decrease one or more loads of the one or more of the plurality of loads on the resource, wherein upon determination by the director component to decrease the one or more loads the director component automatically prepares an instruction to decrease the one or more loads; and
a control component that, upon receipt of the instruction from the director component, automatically decreases the one or more loads on the resource;
wherein the one or more dynamically-updateable policies are changeable contemporaneously with active operation of the director component with the control component.

Abstract
An apparatus in one example comprises one or more policies, a director component, and a control component. The one or more policies comprise one or more dynamically-updateable policies and zero or more fixed policies. The director component automatically employs information about one or more of a plurality of loads on a resource in conjunction with the one or more policies to automatically determine whether to decrease one or more loads of the one or more of the plurality of loads on the resource. Upon determination by the director component to decrease the one or more loads the director component automatically prepares an instruction to decrease the one or more loads. The control component, upon receipt of the instruction from the director component, automatically decreases the one or more loads on the resource. The one or more dynamically-updateable policies are changeable contemporaneously with active operation of the director component with the control component.

27. A method, comprising the steps of:
-
automatically determining a state of heightened occupation of a resource during a time period;
automatically determining, through employment of one or more policies during the time period, the resource is to handle one or more higher-importance loads during the time period; and
automatically decreasing one or more lesser-importance loads on the resource during the time period.

28. An article, comprising:
-
one or more computer-readable signal-bearing media; and
means in the one or more media for automatically determining a state of heightened occupation of a resource during a time period;
means in the one or more media for automatically determining, through employment of one or more policies during the time period, the resource is to handle one or more higher-importance loads during the time period; and
means in the one or more media for automatically decreasing one or more lesser-importance loads on the resource during the time period.
