System for dynamic arbitration of a shared resource on a device. A method is provided for arbitrating the allocation of a device resource on a device. The method comprises receiving a request from a requesting application that requests allocation of the device resource, and determining that the device resource is owned by an owning application. The method also comprises associating owner information with requester information to form an arbitration request, wherein the owner information comprises information about the owning application and the requester information comprises information about the requesting application. The method also comprises arbitrating the arbitration request to produce an arbitration decision that indicates whether or not the device resource should be allocated to the requesting application, and allocating the device resource based on the arbitration decision.
