Additionally, it seems to me that even within the field of resource
management it is not necessarily the case that the same grouping is
required for different resource types e.g. the grouping for control of
CPU resources might be different to the grouping for control of network
bandwidth allocation or disk space or disk I/O bandwidth, etc.
