Abstract
Shutdown intervals between nodes of a dependency tree are determined. The dependency tree represents a system to be shut down and the nodes represent system components of the system. The determining the shutdown intervals includes calculating, for a pair of nodes of the dependency tree, a shutdown interval. The calculating is based on a relationship between the pair of nodes. The calculating is repeated for a plurality of pairs of nodes to obtain a plurality of shutdown intervals. The plurality of shutdown intervals is used in a shutdown of the system components. At least one system component represented by at least one node on a higher node level of the dependency tree is to be shut down prior to at least one other system component represented by at least one other node on a lower node level of the dependency tree.
