Abstract:
Systems and methods of buyer-side consolidation of compatible purchase orders are described herein. Purchase orders can be identified for consolidation using spatial and temporal proximity parameters. Purchase orders can be modified by changing a ship date or a delivery date and the changing can be based on a buyer input. Shipments can be consolidated based on the purchase order modifications and less than truckload shipments can be reduced. Consolidated shipments can be associated with different requested delivery dates, different suppliers, and/or different buyers. Buyer-side consolidation of compatible purchase orders can occur before purchase orders are processed by a transportation management system.
Abstract:
A system and method for assessing performance of a software application migrated to a grid infrastructure is provided. The system comprises a grid code analyzer for generating a directed acyclic graph (DAG) corresponding to the software application by performing static and dynamic analysis; a grid task generator for reducing the DAG generated by the grid code analyzer; and a grid simulator for simulating performance of the software application on one or more predetermined grid infrastructures. The grid simulator accepts the reduced DAG as input and produces performance data as output.
Abstract:
Quality of modularization of source code is tested using different perspectives such as a structural modularity perspective, an architectural modularity perspective, a size perspective, and a similarity of purpose perspective. A history of changes in modularization may be kept such that the degree to which given source code is well-modularized can be determined over time. The changes made to the code by individual programmers may be kept, such that the degree to which their coding enhanced or harmed modularization may be tracked.
Abstract:
A data masking tool can support a wide variety of data sources and execution mechanisms. For example, any of a wide variety of data masking techniques can be achieved via a web interface, API, command line, SOA, or the like. Connectivity to mainframe environments can be achieved. Multiple data source types and data to and from different technology platform types can be supported. The tool can support interfacing with a metadata management tool. High quality randomness can be provided by a Mersenne Twister random number generator. The tool can be useful for performing data masking during software testing without having to write data masking code.
Abstract:
A system adapted for analyzing performance and scalability of at least one computer system is disclosed. The system include a monitoring module configured for capturing at least one metric of an application for analyzing performance and scalability and a performance knowledge repository created and represented by using the at least one metric captured by the monitoring module. The system further includes a diagnosis module adapted for mapping the at least one metric to the performance knowledge repository using a diagnosis module and an analysis module configured for conducting performance and scalability analysis based on the mapping of the at least one metric for detecting at least one undesirable condition.
Abstract:
Interoperability across two or more heterogeneous clinical medical error taxonomies can be improved by associating categories in various taxonomies with one or more categories in a master taxonomy. These associations can be expressed using a unique identifier, e.g., a number that identifies one or more categories in the master taxonomy. Various aspects of the associations and/or one or more master taxonomies can be modified by users of a system employing embodiments of the technologies described herein. Searches of clinical medical error records can also be aided using the technologies described herein.
Abstract:
A predictive data mining model can be selected based on how well the model meets an objective function. In certain implementations genetic algorithms can be used to search a space of predictive data mining model building parameters to determine an optimal predictive data mining model based on a score function corresponding to, for example, the accuracy of the selected predictive data mining model.
Abstract:
Real-time execution of transactions can be managed between network devices. A method for managing real-time execution of transactions can comprise receiving one or more transactions, storing details associated with the one or more transactions, and synchronizing the details from a first network device to a second network device. Synchronizing details can comprise checking network connectivity between devices. Synchronization middleware can comprise a command engine, a synchronization engine, and a request-response engine. Synchronization middleware can be configured to process transactions, comprising checking network connectivity and determining whether transactions have expired. A method for managing real-time execution of transactions can comprise receiving real-time transactions from applications running on a network device, determining whether a network connection to a second network device is operational, if the connection is operational synchronizing the transactions, and if the connection is not operational delaying synchronization.
Abstract:
Messages can be delivered to end-user communication devices for playback to users of the end-user communication devices during call progress events by selecting messages to deliver and delivering the selected messages to the end-user communication device, where the end-user communication device stores the messages and plays back the stored messages during call progress events of subsequent calls. A system for delivering messages to end-user communication devices can comprise a message delivery module configured to deliver messages prior to calls where the messages are played and a reception module configured to receive indications of interest in the messages. An end-user communication device for playing back messages during call progress events can comprise a communication module configured to receive messages when not engaged in a call, a storage module configured to store messages, and a playback module configured to play back stored messages during later calls.
Abstract:
A gateway module is provided for connecting multiple networks. A connection set up module is provided. The connection set up module is configured to set up a transport layer connection between two correspondent nodes in first and second wire networks in divided forms of first and second connections. The first and second connections are in a transport layer protocol suitable for communications with correspondent nodes in the first and second wire networks. A control module controls the connection set up module by determining whether or not to carry out a connection set up by the connection set up module. The connection set up is made according to information content of a packet. The packet contains a transport layer protocol data unit, from a correspondent node in the second network, that requests a set up of the transport layer connection between the first and second networks.
