Transaction scheduling for a user data cache by assessing update criteria

Abstract

Transaction scheduling is described for a user data cache by assessing update criteria. In one example an event records memory stores a list of events each corresponding to performance of a transaction at a remote resource for a user. The memory has criteria for each event and a criterion value for each criterion and event combination. An event manager assesses criteria for each event by performing an operation on the stored criterion value for each criterion and event combination, assigning a score for each criterion and event combination, and compiling the assigned scores to generate a composite score for each event. The events are ordered based on the respective composite scores and executed in the ordered sequence by performing a corresponding transaction at remote resource. Updated criterion values are stored for executed events.
