Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system and method for dynamic scheduling of application tasks in a distributed task-based system. The system and method employ a learning mechanism that observes and predicts overall application task costs across a networked system, taking into account how the states or loads of the applications are likely to change over time. The application task costs are defined in economic terms. The system and method allows continuous optimization of application response times as perceived by application users.
