Abstract:
A hybrid cloud environment is provided where a user of cloud computing services is disposed to consume cloud provided services delivered by each of a plurality of cloud computing service providers. Specified event data is received at an MCS component. The event data pertains to metering events related to the cloud provided services delivered by one or more cloud service providers. Event data include event data furnished by one or more entities that actively monitor metering events at one or more local or remote cloud service provider locations. Event data are sent from the MCS component to a metering system. The metering system generates reports from the event data that contains usage information on services provided by one or more cloud service providers. Information for a provider specifies amounts and quality of each type of service delivered to users by the provider.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for software analysis include determining a similarity score for an ordered input set and at least one ordered cluster set that represents a distance between the ordered input set and the at least one ordered cluster set. It is determined that he ordered input is similar to a first cluster of the at least one ordered cluster set, based on the similarity score. The ordered input set is merged to the first cluster of the at least one cluster set to generate a merged set that preserves an ordering of the ordered input set and the first cluster. Software analysis is performed using the merged set.
Abstract:
Operation testing without side effects may be enabled by a method including preparing a copy of a directory set of at least a part of a host system disk, creating a link to a file in a first directory in the host system disk, in a second directory of the copy of the directory set, wherein the second directory corresponds in position to the first directory in the directory set, and starting a non-privileged system using a disk image including the copy of the directory set and the created link.
Abstract:
A method for scheduling a deployment in a first server and a second server identifies a succeeding task out of tasks deployed in the first server. The succeeding task is a task required to wait for an end of a preceding task. The preceding task is one of tasks deployed in the second server. The method sets a wait task in a process of the deployment in the first server. The wait task is a task to wait for an execution timing of the succeeding task. The method decides an execution timing of the wait task on a basis of an overlapping time of a first download task and a second download task. The first download task is one of the tasks deployed in the first server. The second download task is one of the tasks deployed in the second server.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method is disclosed for determining a calculation expression for finding a KPI relating to a business process (process KPI) on the basis of a KPI obtained in each task (task KPI), the business process being representable as a graph structure including a plurality of tasks and edges representing how processing of the tasks proceeds. The method includes preparing a table defining a group of composite operation expressions for the task KPIs of the plurality of tasks, the composite operation expressions being associated with a predetermined relation of the plurality of tasks for each task KPI type; determining composite operation expressions for the task KPIs over the business process for each task KPI type by referring to the table; and creating a calculation expression for finding the process KPI of the business process using the composite operation expressions for the task KPIs over the business process.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method, a program, and a system for effectively providing versatile non-text information suitable for use in a multi-language environment. The method includes the steps of: receiving search results of a database using a search criterion in a certain language and a search criterion in another language corresponding to the search criterion in which specific language attributes are associated with non-text elements that are included in the search results; scoring the non-text elements included in the search results depending on a similarity to another element with which a different language attribute is associated; and identifying at least one of the non-text elements included in the search results on the basis of the scores.
Abstract:
A system is provided for automatically closing a server-rack door. A microphone acquires sound data and an acceleration sensor acquires acceleration data. A controller determines at least one time when a volume of the sound data exceeds a threshold. The controller identifies at least one waveform from the acceleration data which matches (i) an opening waveform or (ii) a closing waveform. The controller checks, for each given waveform from among the at least one waveform, if the at least one time is within a time range of the given waveform and, if so, determine that the user is opening or closing the server-rack door by identifying the given waveform as matching the opening or closing waveform. The controller provides a notification of an open status of the server-rack door based on numbers of opening and closing waveforms. The controller automatically closes the server-rack door, responsive to the notification.
