Abstract
The present invention provides a resource management apparatus that comprises a unit configured to obtain upper-limit values of resource usage amounts of applications in executable state; and a unit configured to allocate a requested resource in relation to a resource obtainment request received from a sender application if a sum total of the upper-limit values does not exceed a resource amount that can be allocated to the applications or an resource amount requested by the resource obtainment request does not exceed a reference value, and cause the resource obtainment request to wait and request an application that is not the sender application to release a resource if the sum total of the upper-limit values exceeds the resource amount that can be allocated to the applications and the resource amount requested by the resource obtainment request exceeds the reference value.
