Abstract
Methods, systems (apparatus) and computer program products are provided which control access to a shared resource in a data processing system by predicting utilization of the shared resource based upon historical utilization of the shared resource. Users of the shared resource are then notified of a potential shortage of the shared resource if the prediction predicts that the shared resource will be over-utilized. The prediction may utilize a linear extrapolation to predict future utilization of the share resource. Furthermore, the interval between predictions of the future utilization may be based on time, number of utilization events or a combination of the two.
