How can I limit resource usage of process?

Question

In short, I want to find windows equivalent way of unix setrusage() function.

Can I limit resource usage for particular process? For example, 10 seconds cpu time and 50mb memory size. If the process run more than 10 seconds or consumes more than 50mb memory, the process will be terminated by windows.
