    Name:resource availability manipulation

    Complexity: Most of the issues with resource availability result from the high cost of making worst-case resources available. As a result, a tradeoff is made in the design of systems that assures that under some (hopefully unlikely) conditions resources will be exhausted while providing a suitably high likelihood of availability under almost all realistic situations. The general complexity involved with most resource allocation problems in which limited resources are available is at least NP-complete.
