Abstract
A system and method for simulating resource allocation, where the allocation strategies which can be simulated include those of prior art but also include a large class of important allocation strategies that are not possible or not easy to simulate using prior art techniques and systems is described. A location limiting allocation strategy is also described. This strategy supports resource capacity schedules and request priorities as supported by prior art, but simultaneously supports the enforcement of allocation limits applied to a property expressed in the allocation request, namely the location of the work to be performed, or a location, resource pair to perform the work.
