20090100133	Slow-Dynamic Load Balancing System and Computer-Readable Medium - A load balancing system and a corresponding computer-readable medium are proposed. The load balancing system is used in environments (e.g., implementing a licensing management application) wherein each client is associated with a preferred server storing specific information for the client. Each client periodically detects a workload and a response time of all the servers. The client selects a subset of nearest servers (according to their response times). The server in that subset with the lowest workload is set as an eligible server. Whenever a ratio between the workload of the preferred server and the workload of the eligible server exceeds a predefined threshold value (e.g., 1.1), the client switches to the eligible server (transferring the corresponding specific information). The system of the invention exhibits a slow dynamic, and tends to reach a steady condition (wherein the specific information of the clients is not continuously moved across the system).	04-16-2009
20090313631	AUTONOMIC WORKLOAD PLANNING - A method of automatically optimizing workload scheduling. Target values for workload characteristics and constraint specifications are received. Generation of a first execution plan is initiated. Initial constraint values conforming to the constraint specifications are selected. Each constraint value constrains tasks included in the workload. The first execution plan is executed, thereby determining measurements of workload characteristics. Contributions indicating differences between workload characteristic measurements and target values are determined and stored. Generation of a next execution plan is initiated. Modified constraint values conforming to the constraint specifications are selected. Changes in the workload characteristics based on the modified constraint values are evaluated. An optimal or acceptable sub-optimal solution in a space of solutions defined by the constraint specifications is determined, resulting in new values for the constraints. After replacing the initial values with the new values, the next execution plan is generated and executed.	12-17-2009
