We put forward a new modeling technique for Dynamic Resource Management (DRM) based on discrete events control for symbolic logico-numerical systems, especially Discrete Controller Synthesis (DCS). The resulting models involve state and input variables defined on an infinite domain (Integers), thereby no exact DCS algorithm exists for safety control. We thus formally define the notion of limited lookahead, and associated best-effort control objectives targeting safety and optimization on a sliding window for a number of steps ahead. We give symbolic algorithms, illustrate our approach on an example model for DRM, and report on performance results based on an implementation in our tool ReaX.
