Application Quality / Resource ManagementAQRM
Vision

• End up with an open framework that all component
  providers, whether they are applications or
  hardware, can plug their own product into and
  have it work together with all other components
  to deliver priority tasks and adjust to meet
  critical workloads based on policy from a
  business viewpoint.

To accomplish this, the objective of the AQRM
group is to

• Understand the current state of the industry
  regarding Application Quality Resource
  Management
• Develop a framework for the accomplishment of
  automated Application Quality Resource
  Management
• Identify the standards and open tools that fill
  the needs of the framework
• Identify gaps that need to be filled
• Provide solutions for the gaps or challenge other
  organizations working in closely related fields
  to fill the gaps
