Abstract

The problem is solved by including a read unit reading operation information corresponding to an application according to an execution request and relating to an operation of the application; and a construction unit constructing an execution environment in which the application operates, based on the operation information read by the read unit.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a read unit reading operation information corresponding to an application according to an execution request and relating to an operation of the application; and

a construction unit constructing an execution environment in which the application operates, based on the operation information read by said read unit.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein said construction unit combines fragmented virtualized resources based on the operation information to construct the execution environment in which the application operates.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when said construction unit was not able to construct the execution environment in which the application operates based on the operation information read by said read unit, said construction unit outputs information that said construction unit is not able to cause the application to operate.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein basic information relating to accounting accompanying execution of the application is contained in the operation information, and

wherein said information processing apparatus further comprises a counting unit counting, when the application is executed, accounting information accompanying the execution of the application based on the information relating to the basic information and information relating to the execution.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein performance information indicating performance for each operating environment for the application is contained in the operation information, and

wherein said construction unit constructs the execution environment in which the application operates, based on the performance information contained in the operation information read by said read unit.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation information is added to the application, and

wherein said read unit reads the operation information added to the application.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation information is stored in a storage device in which the operation information is associated with the application, and

wherein said read unit reads, from said storage device, the operation information associated with the application.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation information is contained in header information for each application on a file system, and

wherein said read unit reads the operation information of the application from the header information.

9. An information processing method comprising:

a read step of an information processing apparatus reading operation information corresponding to an application according to an execution request and relating to an operation of the application; and

a construction step of said information processing apparatus constructing an execution environment in which the application operates, based on the operation information read in said read step.

10. A program product for causing a computer to function as:

a read unit reading operation information corresponding to an application according to an execution request and relating to an operation of the application; and

a construction unit constructing an execution environment in which the application operates, based on the operation information read by said read unit.
