A method of tracking an identification device includes storing data about the identification device in a register, the data to be stored including data relating to a forwarding location to which requests for information about the identification device should be forwarded. The identification device is attached to an item to be monitored. The method includes accessing the register when the identification device has been read and a request for information has been received. Details of the forwarding location are obtained from the register. The request is forwarded to the forwarding location and the requested information about the identification device is sent from the forwarding location to a requester of the information.

The invention real time electronic service interaction management system and method facilitates presentation of information that increases the probability of desirable target interaction. Desirable target interaction includes metrics associated with campaign objectives (e.g., maximize profits) and constraints (e.g., budget constraints). The system and method automatically develops interaction motivation plans that determine a stimulation action (e.g., information presented to a target). A motivation interaction plan is a procedure utilized to determine a stimulation action to present to a target with specific attributes under certain system attributes. The present invention adaptively optimizes and tests interaction motivation plans to permit automated learning about target individual interaction activities and accordingly modify interaction motivation plans in both real time and over the lifetime of a campaign. It also facilitates the development of behavioral models that provide predictions associated with the probability of target behavior based upon a set of target characteristics and system attributes.

A system, method, and computer readable medium for generating an information integration flow design (IIFD). The system includes a processor to receive a conceptual model of the IIFD, having an extract phase, a load phase, and a transformation phase, an extract unit to model an interface between a data source information object and a transformation function based on at least one extract hypercube, a load unit to specify at least one load hypercube and a data warehouse target object, a transformation unit to express one or more steps as a hypercube operation, and a translation unit to generate the IIFD based on the conceptual model. The method includes receiving a conceptual model of the IIFD having an extract phase, a load phase, and a transformation phase. The method generates logical information integration operations based on the conceptual model. A computer readable medium may include instructions to generate the IIFD.

An apparatus and method provides automatic information integration flow optimization. The apparatus may include an input/output port connecting the information integration flow optimizer to extract-transform-load tools. The information integration flow optimizer includes a parser unit to create a tool-agnostic input file containing rich semantics, a converter to transform the tool-agnostic input file into an input DAG, and a QoX-driven optimizer applying one or more heuristic algorithms to the input DAG to develop an optimum information integration flow design based on the rich semantics. The method may include receiving a tool-specific input file representing a physical information integration flow, parsing and converting the tool-specific input file into an input DAG containing tool-agnostic rich semantics, and applying heuristic algorithms to the input DAG to develop an optimum information integration flow design based on the rich semantics.

An embodiment includes determining user loads and control parameter values. The determining control parameter values are mapped to a performance metric using a function. A constant performance metric is determined where the value of the function calculated at each control parameter value is less than said constant performance metric. An isocontour is defined based on the constant performance metric for each user load. Finally an operating envelope is calculated by correlating the isocontours of multiple user loads.

A method of determining a multiprogramming level (MPL) for a first computer subsystem may be implemented on a second computer subsystem. The method may include selecting an initial MPL interval having endpoints that bound a local extremum of a computer-system operation variable that is a unimodal function of the MPL. For each interval having a length more than a threshold, operation-variable values for two intermediate MPLs in the interval may be determined. The interval may be diminished by the section of the interval between the one of the intermediate MPLs having an operation-variable value further from the extremum, and the interval endpoint adjacent to the one intermediate MPL. The operating MPL may be set equal to the other intermediate MPL when the interval has a length that is not more than the threshold.
