Abstract
Computer programs and computer-implemented techniques are described here for predicting when jobs in the queue of a batch scheduler will be completed. More specifically, various embodiments are described herein that relate to mechanisms for predicting the wait time and/or the estimated time to completion for jobs that are to be executed by a software asset management platform. For example, heuristics and algorithms could be used to discover when execution of a job is likely to begin and/or end. The estimated time to completion for a given job can be estimated by summing the expected execution time of the given job and the expected execution times of any jobs to be executed prior to the given job, while the wait time for a given job can be estimated by summing the expected execution times of any jobs to be executed prior to the given job.
