-                      v18
+                      v19
 Research the issues in interfacing these resource pools to existing
 Grid- and Cloud-based systems for distributed computing.
+== Tracking and modeling user behavior and host availability ==
+Monitor and maintain statistics of the user input process (mouse, keyboard activity).
+If the user has been idle for X seconds, with what probability will they be idle
+for another Y seconds?
+Use this info to make better decisions about when to run jobs.
+Similarly, monitor and maintain statistics about host availability
+(not just the available fraction)
+and use this to improve scheduling decisions,
+e.g. for jobs that don't checkpoint.
