Abstract
The resource management system first fences all autonomous resources, then shared resources required for a first activity. The first activity is then executed and the domain for the next activity examined to identify common fencing requirements. If the shared resource fencing is unaltered between successive activities, then to resource modification is required and the second activity is immediately executed. Otherwise, the shared resources of the first activity are returned to functional use and the shared resources required for the second activity are then fenced. Release of the autonomous resources is deferred to enable the immediate execution of the second activity. Once the last activity in the work stream is completed, all fencing is removed and all resources returned to functional use.
