摘要： Method and apparatus for allocating resources to a plurality of applications. In various embodiments instrumentation data may be gathered for work requests processed by the applications. An associated workload level may be determined for work requests processed by the applications. For each application an application resource requirement may be determined as a function of the workload levels and a service level metric associated with the application. For each application an assigned subset of resources may be determined as a function of the application resource requirement, a minimization of communication delays between resources, and a bandwidth capacity requirement of the application. The resources may be automatically reconfigured consistent with the assigned subset of resources for each application.

摘要： An improved sliding window chunking apparatus and method comprising comparing a fingerprint value of each position in a data set to a second set of criteria, at least in instances when it doesn't satisfy a first set of criteria, and, if the value satisfies the second set of criteria, identifying the position as a potential breakpoint. Subsequently, if a fingerprint value that satisfies the first set of criteria is not found before a maximum chunk size is reached, the potential breakpoint can be designated as a breakpoint. Further improvement is possible by imposing minimum and maximum sizes on chunks. In some instances, more than two sets of criteria may be used to identify additional potential chunks to be used should subsets having fingerprint values satisfying either of the first two sets of criteria not be found.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for developing customer retention and loyalty strategies. In one aspect, a method comprises calculating (202) likelihoods of next action taken by customers, based on customer attributes and associated attribute weights stored in a customer data base, and calculating (203) customer churn-risk scores, based on customer attributes that vary over time using the computing device. The methods also determines (207) what-if-scenarios for each customer based on churn-risk scores in order to identify the next-best-action to reduce probability of customer churn, and determines (208) when-to-act time thresholds for each customer based on churn-risk scores in order to identify when a non-high risk customer of churning will likely become a high-risk customer of churning at some later time. The method also selects (209) customer retention and loyalty strategies for customers, based on the churn-risk scores, what-if-scenarios, and when-to-act time thresholds.

摘要： System, including method, apparatus, and computer-readable media, for evaluating client status for a likelihood of churn. Client data may be received, with the client data representing events from a set of different event types performed by clients. Parameters of a statistical model that describes client behavior may be estimated using a computer and based on the client data. A churn type of event may be encoded in the statistical model as an absorbing state of a stochastic process, with a time of transition to the absorbing state modeled as being infinite. At least one of the parameters may correspond to the churn type of event. A likelihood of churn may be calculated for a plurality of the clients at one or more time points using the statistical model and its estimated parameters.

摘要： System, including method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media, for evaluating probabilities of next actions by customers to permit selective customer targeting. Customer data (20) may be received (32). The customer data (20) may represent a plurality of actions (14) taken by customers (12). At least a portion of the customer data (20) may be transformed (34) according to action number into stratified data (80) including strata, with each of the strata representing actions for one or more action numbers (74). A conditional proportional hazard function (84) may be estimated (36) from a stratum of the stratified data (80). Likelihoods of a next action may be calculated (38) using the hazard functions. The likelihoods may be the likelihoods of a next action at one or more times by individual customers (12) whose latest action has an action number for which the stratum represents actions.
