Resource pools can be extended into more general Object Manager classes. See:

Sommerlad, Peter. "Manager", in Robert Martin, Dirk Riehle, and Frank Buschmann (eds.), Pattern Languages of Program Design, Volume 3, Addison-Wesley, 1998.

Exchangers are described in more detail in:

Sane, Aamod, and Roy Campbell. "Resource Exchanger", in John Vlissides, James Coplien, and Norman Kerth (eds.), Pattern Languages of Program Design, Volume 2, Addison-Wesley, 1996.

The approximate fairness of some commonly used scheduling policies is discussed in:
