Disclosed herein is a framework for determining a service provider to service a customer request. In accordance with one aspect, a request from a customer is received by a decision module. The decision module further receives a response to the request from a first service provider, determines the average frequency of responses for a given time interval during the time and location of the request, estimates arrival time of the first service provider and near-by service providers to the location of the customer, ranks all service providers based on arrival time, and estimates a probability of a shorter customer wait time.

A maintenance data collector may be used to collect maintenance data characterizing maintenance events associated with maintaining operations of a plurality of components, and a critical component identifier may be used to identify, from the plurality of components and based on the maintenance data, critical components that contribute disproportionately to production losses caused by the maintenance events. A causality analyzer may then determine causal connections between the maintenance events, based on operational dependencies between pairs of the plurality of components, and a maintenance policy generator may generate a maintenance policy governing future maintenance events for the plurality of components, based on the identified critical components and the causal connections.

A method includes receiving an identification code for an item selected for purchase by a customer in a retail store, identifying at least one item similar to the customer-selected item, identifying at least one item related to the customer-selected item, calculating a value for a first expected profit for a first sale of the customer-selected item and the similar item, calculating a value for a second expected profit for a second sale of the customer-selected item and the related item, sorting the first sale and the second sale in an order based on the value for the first expected profit and the value for the second expected profit, and providing information associated with the first sale and the second sale, the information for use in recommending the similar item or the related item for purchase by the customer in the retail store.

A failover manager may be configured to determine a plurality of tenants executable on a server of a plurality of servers, each tenant being a virtual machine executable on the server in communication with at least one corresponding user. The failover manager may include a replicated tenant placement selector configured to dispatch a first replicated tenant for a first tenant of the plurality of tenants to a first standby server of the plurality of servers, and configured to dispatch a second replicated tenant for a second tenant of the plurality of tenants to a second standby server of the plurality of servers. The failover manager also may include a replicated tenant loader configured to activate, based on a failure of the server, the first replicated tenant on the first standby server to replace the first tenant, and the second replicated tenant on the second standby server to replace the second tenant.

Disclosed herein are technologies related to infrastructure investment planning for short-term and long-term capacity demands. One or more of the described technologies involve solving rent-or-buy optimization for real world infrastructure investment planning. Such technologies utilize forecasting, predictive analysis and dynamic programming. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Disclosed herein are technologies for providing recommendations as to particular products and/or services that are customer specific and general, based on customer preference and inquiry. The recommendations are provided as part of an online shopping system. In accordance with one aspect, an item query is received from a customer, and analyzed by a query analyzer to determine if the query is a general item query or a specific item query. A search may be performed for items based on the item query in an items database listing items offered for purchase. If the query is the general item query, customer preference is determined from results of the search. If the query is the specific item query, the items from the results of the search are grouped based on cost performance. The items of the search result are ranked and provided to the customer.

Disclosed herein are technologies for demand management by providing a real time prediction model, using an elasticity matrix to quantify price change and demand, group customers based on their demand, set pricing per each group of customers, and optimize distribution. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are technologies related to an optimization of project resource management of projects having multiple resource types and cost structures. One or more the technologies involves optimizing a project based, at least in part, on project data and related resource data using successive genetic operations and evaluations and further producing a resource-acquisition plan for the optimized project.
摘要:
Small and power-efficient buffer/mini-cache sources and sinks selected DMA accesses directed to a memory space included in a coherency domain of a microprocessor when cached data in the microprocessor is inaccessible due to any or all of the microprocessor being in a low-power state not supporting snooping. Satisfying the selected DMA accesses via the buffer/mini-cache enables reduced power consumption by allowing the microprocessor (or portion thereof) to remain in the low-power state. The buffer/mini-cache may be operated (temporarily) incoherently with respect to the cached data in the microprocessor and flushed before deactivation to synchronize with the cached data when the microprocessor (or portion thereof) transitions to a high-power state that enables snooping. Alternatively the buffer/mini-cache may be operated in a manner (incrementally) coherent with the cached data. The microprocessor implements one or more processors having associated cache systems (such as various arrangements of first-, second-, and higher-level caches).
