Negotiation management in data processing systems

This invention describes a computer program designed to help different parts of a large computer network efficiently share their computing resources. It works by taking a list of tasks that need to be done, figuring out the best order to ask for the necessary resources, and then automatically negotiating with other parts of the network to get those resources allocated. The claims specifically describe a single "negotiation management component" at one site doing this work.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of cloud-native architectures and container orchestration systems like Kubernetes, which make distributed resource negotiation a central challenge. The underlying infrastructure and tools for building such a system are now far more mature and performant.
