20110145283 | INTELLIGENT MECHANISM FOR IDENTIFYING ONTOLOGICAL HYPERTEXT AND PRE-FETCHING AND PRESENTING THE TARGET INFORMATION - A computer implemented method for identifying ontological hypertext and pre-fetching and presenting the target information may include receiving an original query by a database server. The method may also include searching the database server to locate an ontological mapping record. The ontological mapping record may represent an association between information responsive to the original query and related information associated by ontological hypertext. The method may further include presenting information responsive to the original query and the related information. | 06-16-2011 |
20110161121 | Method, System, and Article for Management of Travel - A method, system, and article for management of travel and travel related matters. Both a source and a designation are selected, together with the associated departure and arrival information and the mode of transportation. A geographic region affected by a health related event is identified, and then employed to determine if a craft in support of the selected travel has been or is intended to be in the identified region. Exposure to the identified health related event may be mitigated by supporting an amendment to the mode of transportation. | 06-30-2011 |
20110295666 | OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT OF MULTI-MEDIA GAMING DEVICES - Operational management of a multi-media system includes assessing end user performance with respect to operation of a multi-media device in the multi-media system. Upon determining a performance value derived from assessment of the end user performance exceeds a pre-defined threshold value, the operational management further includes identifying accommodation options that specify modifications to the operation of the multi-media device and/or operations of another multi-media device in the multi-media system that is engaged in a media activity concurrent with the end user of the multi-media device. | 12-01-2011 |
20110320865 | DEDUPLICATION IN A HYBRID STORAGE ENVIRONMENT - Deduplication in a hybrid storage environment includes determining characteristics of a first data set. The first data set is identified as redundant to a second data set and the second data set is stored in a first storage system. The deduplication also includes mapping the characteristics of the first data set to storage preferences, the storage preferences specifying storage system selections for storing data sets based upon attributes of the respective storage systems. The deduplication further includes storing, as a persistent data set, one of the first data set and the second data set in one of the storage systems identified from the mapping. | 12-29-2011 |
20120059937 | BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT - Bandwidth allocation management includes determining current available bandwidth of a network within which a computer system is operating. The bandwidth allocation management also includes using the current available bandwidth and applied feature delivery settings to determine an adjustment in feature delivery to the computer system. At least a portion of the feature delivery settings is specified by an end user of the computer system. | 03-08-2012 |
20120072230 | IDENTIFICATION AND NULLIFICATION OF SUBSTANCES - Substance identification and nullification processes are provided. A process includes identifying a substance on an object, the substance determined to be associated with a health risk. The process also includes identifying a treatment plan for nullifying the substance, the treatment plan prescribing a solution and instructions for nullifying the substance using the solution. The process further includes preparing the solution identified in the treatment plan, and implementing the treatment plan with respect to the object. | 03-22-2012 |
20120123984 | OPTIMAL PERSISTENCE OF A BUSINESS PROCESS - Embodiments of the invention provide for automatically selecting optimal fetch settings for business processes as a function of database query load and relational context by determining whether data loaded for data retrieval points is dependent upon a query result from another query process and automatically selecting an eager fetch setting if dependent upon a query result from another query process, or a lazy fetch setting if not. Usage of the data retrieval points is monitored with respect to defined units of work to define retrieval patterns and automatically update the fetch settings, including by revising selected eager fetch settings to lazy fetch settings if a datasize of a defined retrieval pattern is larger than a permissible memory resource threshold. | 05-17-2012 |
20120136907 | VIRTUAL NODE SUBPOOL MANAGEMENT - Virtual file system virtual nodes are grouped in subpools in response to identified resource components and managed as a function of their subpool groupings. Virtual nodes are decomposed into individual components linked to each other within each node. The components that have repetitive accesses by applications within the virtual file system and their respective frequencies of repetitive access are identified. Modules of linked occurrences of the repetitive components within each of the plurality of virtual nodes are formed, and subsets of the virtual nodes sharing common modules are grouped into subpools. Accordingly, in response to an application of the virtual file system requesting a service that is satisfied by a subpool common module, selection of a virtual node for reinitiating for reuse by the application is restricted to virtual nodes within the subpool associated with the common module. | 05-31-2012 |
20130036100 | DEDUPLICATION IN NETWORK STORAGE WITH DATA RESIDENCE COMPLIANCE - Deduplication in a network storage environment includes, for files stored in a network, determining a location constraint status specified by a compliance agreement for each of the files. Location constraint statuses include a location of persistent residency and no residency restriction. Deduplication also includes selecting a file from the files in the network and identifying corresponding redundant files, the selected file and the corresponding redundant files representing a set. Deduplication further includes determining the location constraint status for each of the files in the set. For the files in the set having a location constraint status specifying a location of persistent residency, the deduplication includes retaining a master copy at the respective location of persistent residency, and removing the corresponding redundant files from the network. | 02-07-2013 |
20130103372 | SPECIFYING REUSABLE PROCESS MODELS - A method and system for specifying a reusable process model. Sub-processes of a base process are identified as having a potential to be modified. By filling in values in a configurable pattern applied to each identified sub-process, dynamic categories are mapped to the identified sub-processes, thereby allowing the sub-processes to be reusable. A change to business requirements occurs, where the base process is based on the business requirements. Based on the change to the business requirements, a change to the values in the configurable pattern applied to a sub-process is received. The change to the values in the configurable pattern does not require a change to the base process. | 04-25-2013 |

The components that have repetitive accesses by applications within the virtual file system and their respective frequencies of repetitive access are identified. Modules of linked occurrences of the repetitive components within each of the plurality of virtual nodes are formed, and subsets of the virtual nodes sharing common modules are grouped into subpools. Accordingly, in response to an application of the virtual file system requesting a service that is satisfied by a subpool common module, selection of a virtual node for reinitiating for reuse by the application is restricted to virtual nodes within the subpool associated with the common module. | 10-31-2013 |
