Techniques are provided for automatically discovering one or more features in free form heterogeneous data. In one aspect of the invention, the techniques include obtaining free form heterogeneous data, wherein the data comprises one or more data items, applying a label to each data item, using the labeled data to build a language model, wherein a word distribution associated with each label can be derived from the model, and using the word distribution associated with each label to discover one or more features in the data, wherein discovering one or more features in the data facilitates one or more operations that use at least a portion of the labeled data.

Co-locating a virtual machine with nested virtualization, in one aspect, may comprise receiving a list of one or more virtual machine instances to co-locate with associated configuration information. A parent virtual machine instance may be identified to host the one or more virtual machine instances. Virtual machine images associated with the one or more virtual machine instances may be consolidated. A composite parent virtual machine image may be created based on the consolidated virtual machine images and the parent virtual machine instance. The parent virtual machine instance may be configured to accommodate for capacity requirement of the one or more child virtual machine instances. The parent virtual machine instance may be started on a processor via the composite parent virtual machine image. The one or more virtual machine instances may be started within the parent virtual machine instance as one or more child virtual machine instances.

Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. These perform the following: accessing records of previous usage within a billing period of service units for customers, wherein the service units are discrete sizes of services for resource types, wherein each usage of an individual one of the service units has start and stop events, and wherein each resource type has a price fixed as of a date of the previous usage; dividing the billing period into time periods determined using the start and stop events for the usage of all of the service units; using the accessed records and the time periods and based on one or more criteria, assigning resource types to the previous usage in the time periods of the service units by the customers; and determining total charge for a selected customer based on the assignments of the resource types and corresponding prices for the selected customer.

摘要:
A method, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for cloud-driven application execution. The method includes determining a plurality of attributes of a failed application, wherein the plurality of attributes comprises at least one policy context attribute and at least one context attribute, correlating each of the plurality of attributes to at least one alternative asset, wherein the at least one alternative asset is a part of an environment on which the failed application can be executed, using the plurality of attributes correlated to the at least one alternative asset to identify an alternative asset set of alternative assets, wherein the alternative asset set is capable of enabling an alternative environment on which to execute the failed application, and provisioning the alternative assets in the alternative asset set from at least one cloud network to create the alternative environment on which the failed application is executed.
摘要:
A method of securely deploying a software application in the Internet cloud including identifying those aspects of a software application that use secure data, and those aspects of the application that use non-secure data, deploying the secure data on one or more secure servers that are not publicly accessible over the Internet, and deploying non-secure data on one or more cloud servers that are publicly available over the Internet, where communication between the secure servers and the cloud servers is managed using secure connections with access only to computation results.
摘要:
A method for operating a sensor based application includes receiving a context hierarchy for the sensor based application, the context hierarchy comprising a plurality of contexts, wherein each of the contexts is assigned a level of interest and a priority, reading the context hierarchy and discovering at least one sensor associated with each of the plurality of contexts, and reading at least one value of each of the sensors, and applying the values.
摘要:
Techniques include accessing predetermined utility of customers based on customer types and qualities. The qualities are based at least on previously identified non-functional characteristics of services that influence decisions of the customers in buying the services from a service provider. Based at least on the accessed predetermining utility, quality-price pairs are determined to create a predetermined amount of profit for the service provider assuming the service provider offers the services to a customer having the customer type at a level of quality corresponding to an associated one of the qualities in a pair and for the corresponding price in the pair. Each quality in the pairs corresponds to one of the customer types. Determining the price-quality pairs further includes mapping one or more of the service-related characteristics to one or more information technology resources in response to the service-related characteristic being dependent on one or more other service-related characteristics.
摘要:
A method of identifying at least one resource in a distributed computing system which is a potential root cause of performance degradation of the system includes the steps of: computing operational bounds for the system and operational bounds for at least one resource in the system; comparing current end-to-end system performance with the operational bounds for the system; when the current end-to-end system performance is outside of the operational bounds for the system, comparing current performance of the at least one resource in the system with the operational bounds for the at least one resource; and generating at least one output identifying the at least one resource in the system which is a potential root cause of performance degradation of the system.
