Meeting performance requirements often requires the ability to manage consumption of resources provided by the environment. Resource management is traditionally handled by operating systems, but the growing need to use safe languages in the systems programming domain adds increased pressure to equip them with resource management capabilities at a level of abstraction that fits gracefully with the language. This paper proposes an extensible, flexible, and widely applicable resource management interface for the Java platform. The interface is small, but capable of modeling a variety of resources and resource management policies. In particular, application-specific resources can be defined, as well as more traditional computational resources such as heap memory and processor time. The interface is presented here in detail, along with a series of examples and a description of a prototype implementation. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
