Abstract
A user categorization system and method is disclosed. The user categorization system and method relies on server data to discover which users are consuming the finite resources of the server and in what proportions. Users are categorized according to their consumption of resources. The user categorization system and method further ascribes a relative business value to each user group to facilitate the allocation of resources among groups. In an example embodiment, users of the server resources use the SAS programming language and the server resources execute SAS applications that support the SAS programming language. The user categorization system and method connects an executed computer program to a business-defined classification of applicability to purpose. The system and method employs a double level of abstraction to link specific programming styles, first to a general solution case (“design pattern”), and then to link the general solution idiomatically to the business case.
