Abstract
A self-adjusting resource-provisioning system that infers the existence of extrinsic events by monitoring external information sources. When an external source satisfies a threshold condition, the system, as a function of historical records, correlates the inferred event with a likelihood that a Web site or other computerized entity's resource-utilization will reach a certain level at a future time. The system adjusts the available amount of resources to handle the predicted utilization level. If the system fails to accurately predict the actual utilization level, the system adjusts the condition to more accurately predict utilization in the future. If no threshold condition predicts an unexpected change in resource utilization, the system adjusts parameters of an existing condition or creates a new condition to better correlate utilization with future extrinsic events. Every time another condition is satisfied or another unexpected utilization level is detected, the system continues to self-adjust in this manner.
