A method of resource management for transferring resources from providers to consumers is described. The method comprises the following steps. Supply parameters for the providers and demand parameters for the consumers are established, and constraints on the allocation of the resources are also established, as is an optimisation function for determining matches between providers and consumers. The optimisation function is solved for the established constraints using a constraint-based problem solver to determine matches between providers and consumers. Resources are then transferred from providers to consumers according to the determined matches. A computing system adapted to perform this method is also described, along with a power distribution system including such a computing system.
