Abstract: A computer-implemented method for use in configuring a collaborative virtual reality (VR) system. The method comprises obtaining first and second environmental data representative of at least one characteristic of a first and second environment associated with a first and second VR system of the collaborative VR system, respectively. First and second capability data representative of a display capability of the first and second VR system for displaying VR content, respectively, is obtained. A common virtual workspace of a VR environment for display of collaborative VR content by both the first VR system and the second VR system is determined, based on the first and second environmental data and the first and second capability data. A first and second layout of at least one display element of the collaborative VR content within the common virtual workspace is determined, for use by the first and second VR system, respectively.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of provisioning a distributed sequential transactional database for a software application. The method includes receiving a descriptor for the application specifying characteristics of the database required for the application, accessing a registry of distributed sequential transactional databases and filtering the registry based on the descriptor to define a subset of databases, accessing each of at least some of the databases in the subset to verify an extent to which each accessed database complies with the characteristics in the descriptor, and associating a degree of compliance with each accessed database, such that databases in a subset of accessed databases having a degree of compliance meeting a threshold degree of compliance are determined to be compliant databases, and ranking the compliant databases in terms of the degree of compliance to select a database for access by the application.

Abstract: A method of operating a communications network is disclosed. In order to manage a network, it is first necessary to establish the state the network is in. This is difficult in practice because the network operational data stored and transmitted in the network takes a myriad of forms owing to the variety of suppliers and types of network equipment. There is a need to distil that network operational data down to aggregate network operational data which can be taken to provide an indication of the state of the network which is of a manageable size, and to which network management apparatus can react by sending control commands to the network. The problem of generating aggregate network operational data is difficult because of the heterogeneity of network operational data items. By finding attribute names in different network operational data items which match one another, and then comparing attribute values provided from those matching attribute names, a comparison of heterogeneous network operational data items is enabled. This enables the production of network aggregate data which more accurately reflects the operational state of the network. This in turn leads to the network management apparatus controlling the network to operate in a more efficient manner than has hitherto been possible.

The problem of generating aggregate network operational data is tackled by identifying the type of each attribute found in each network operational data item, and classifying the network operational data items in a manner which takes account of the identified types and thus provides network aggregate data which more accurately reflects the operational state of the network. This in turn leads to the network management apparatus controlling the network to operate in a more efficient manner than has hitherto been possible.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training a network anomaly detection system is disclosed. The method involves generating synthetic benign network data and synthetic anomalous network data and combining the synthetic benign network data and synthetic anomalous network data to generate combined synthetic network data having a predetermined density of anomalous network data. The combined synthetic network data is provided to a trained anomaly detection model, and an accuracy score is determined that is representative of how accurately the trained anomaly detection model recognizes anomalous activity in the combined synthetic network data. If the accuracy score is less than a threshold value, the anomaly detection model is trained with additional network data and a new accuracy score is determined. Otherwise, the predetermined density of anomalous network data is reduced and a new accuracy score is determined until a predetermined stopping criterion is met.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of a machine learning algorithm modelling a target function mapping inputs in an input domain to outputs in an output range, the machine learning algorithm including an array of processing nodes arranged in a network of layers of nodes including an input layer for receiving an input value, an output layer for providing an output value, and one or more intermediate layers between the input and output layers, each node in the processing set being outside the input layer receiving input from at least some adjacent nodes logically closer to the input layer via weighted connections between nodes, and each node being outside the output layer generating output to at least some adjacent nodes logically closer to the output layer via weighted connections between nodes, wherein each node includes: an adjustable weight for application to each input to the node, the adjustment weight being responsive to a threshold function applied to a value of the node input; a combination function for combining outputs of the threshold function; and a node bypass function for selectively mapping one or more of the inputs to the node to the output of the node, the method comprising iteratively training the machine learning algorithm to model the target function by adjustment, at each iteration, of at least weights of connections between at least a subset of the nodes, such that the nodes of the network are programmable during operation of the algorithm by adjustment of the threshold function and the bypass function so as to selectively emphasise subsets of nodes in the network.

Abstract: A method of operating a communications network is disclosed. Modern communications networks produce vast amounts of network operational data which have the potential to provide a useful summary of the operational state of the network. Whilst processes such as clustering are known for arranging the vast amount of data into groups, the clusters themselves do not provide data which might be easily interpreted by network elements or administrators. Network operational data often comprises a plurality of data items, each of which gives a value for each of a set of attributes. By processing a cluster to identify attributes in the cluster whose values vary less in the cluster then they vary outside of the cluster, and then generating a cluster description which is based on a measure of the central tendency of the values of those attribute in the cluster, an easily interpretable general description of the data items in the cluster is provided. The easily interpretable general description of the cluster can then be used to relatively identify data items similar to those present in the cluster (e.g. from a larger database of data items), and elements in the network can then act autonomously on the basis of the cluster description to control the operation of the communications network.
