Issue - 61 - process priority

Status: open Date added: 8 Sep 2003 Submitter: Sid Askary Date submitted: 04 September 2003 Since we are dealing with an execution language, the question of runtime priority comes to mind. One could imagine an additional process property. While there may be other methods, this could explicitly be expressed as an additional binary attribute to the process element followed, conditionally, by a new element.

a)

<process name="ncname" targetNamespace="uri" queryLanguage="anyURI"? . . prioritize="yes|no"?/>

b)

<priority name="ncname" priorityNumber="anynumber" PriorityNumberBase="anynumber"/>

NOTE: PriorityNumberBase reflects the devisor for PriorityNumber. Alternatively, one could replace the two by a single floating-point fraction. Changes: 8 Sep 2003 - new issue
