Patent attributes
A method, system, and computer readable medium for managing applications on an application execution system are disclosed. On an application server the number of instances of a first application type that are in a busy state is determined. This determination is performed at each respective time interval in a plurality of time intervals. Then, a first running average for the busy state of the first application type is computed based upon the number of instances of the first application type that are in a busy state, at the application server, at each respective time interval. A removal request is sent when the first running average for the busy state meets a first removal criterion. The removal request is a request to remove the application server from a data structure that specifies which of a plurality of application servers accept service requests for the first application type.
