METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING COMPUTING RESOURCES IN A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PRODUCT

In a resource plan creating apparatus and method, a resource plan is created based on a compatibility value between a task and computer hardware and a performance value acquired by an acquiring unit. An estimated load fluctuation value of each service tree is detected from an estimation waveform of load fluctuation of each service tree and an optimizing process is executed using the compatibility value and the estimation waveform of load fluctuation.
