Abstract
A shared resource registry is created and maintained by the system to control allocation and deallocation of shared system resources. The shared resource registry will contain information regarding the allocation and control of shared system resources. By accessing shared system resources through the shared resource registry, control of the shared resources is vested in the system instead of individual objects or processes. When the system needs access to a shared resource, it can notify the shared resource registry regarding the desired resource and schedule the termination of the thread or process which has acquired the desired resource. The shared resource registry can then release the desired resource and make it available for another process.
