System and method for modeling information system capacity and accepting sessions in an information system
First Claim
1. A method of determining whether to accept a proposed session in an information system server, the method comprising:
- generating a session representation that represents the proposed session;
wherein the session representation includes a first plurality of parameters;
wherein the first plurality of parameters define a proposed additional load of the proposed session on the information system server;
determining a current state of the information system server;
generating a load representation that represents the current state of the information system;
wherein the load representation includes a second plurality of parameters;
wherein the second plurality of parameters define a current load on the information system server at a time instant;
determining a headroom representation based on the load representation and a model surface;
wherein the headroom representation reflects a distance between the model surface and the current load on the information system server;
wherein the model surface indicates a capacity of the information system server;
determining whether to accept the proposed session in the information system server based on a comparison between a magnitude of the headroom representation and a magnitude of the session representation.

Abstract
A method for accepting a session in an information system server includes generating a representation of the session. The representation includes a first plurality of parameters that define a proposed additional load of the session on the information system server. A determination is made of a current state representation of the information system server. The current state representation is defined by a second plurality of parameters. The current state representation defines a current load on the information system server at a time instant. A determination is made of a headroom representation for the current state of the information system. The headroom representation is defined by a distance between a model surface.
