FIMS Media SOA Framework - AMWA

FIMS Media SOA Framework Phase1 (Preliminary)9.3 Resource Management9.3.1 Process Scheduling and Resource ManagementBecause of long processing time resulting from the huge size of AV data as discussed in Section 9.2.1, processscheduling as well as the resource management can be crucial for the Media SOA system in order to effectivelyutilize the limited resources.Although the Resource manager service includes Process scheduling and Resource management, the Processscheduling service may be invoked by only the user application of the system where the Resource managementservice may be invoked by the user application of the system, the mediator in the middleware, or by any of theworkflow services.The interface for a service could be hidden if it is only invoked within the closed system because it is left to thesystem developer. However, considering that it is also used by the workflow services, the interface needs to bedefined as a part of the FIMS framework.Therefore the Resource manager service which includes only the resource management is defined as one of therecommended media infrastructure services in the FIMS framework.The concept and the sequence chart of the Resource manager service are depicted in Figures xxx and xxx,respectively.ServiceConsumerUser applications,other workflow services,or middleware (mediator)ServiceRequest / ResponseInquiry workload andestimated time ofeach service.Service AllocateRequest / ResponseMiddlewareGet the service list.WorkflowServiceWorkflowServiceWorkflowServiceResource ManagerServiceServiceRepositoryDecide which service isutilized for the requestbased on business rule.Figure xxx Resource Manager Concept DiagramPrivate committee documentWorking Draft for review by FIMS Rev v1, Nov-16-2010 Page 83 of 89
