摘要:
A method is disclosed for evaluating the performance of a website. An agent interacts with the website using a behavior model of an exemplary website customer. The agent interacts with the website according to the behavior model and gathers website performance data related to the interaction. The performance data is compared to a utility function for the behavior model. A rating is assigned to the website based on the comparison, and the rating is made available to potential website customers seeking information related to the website's performance.

Data associated with at least one characteristic associated with the viability of a product is monitored. The data associated with the at least one characteristic is analyzed, and based on the analyzing, at least one future viability state condition of the product is predicted. At least one indicator is displayed related to the at least one future viability state condition.

Methods and systems for collecting session-related information used for evaluating an event are described. A session is conducted between a server and a client device. The session includes client interaction with a Web site. Selected information corresponding to the session is collected and stored. The information is collected over a sliding sampling period. The sampling period has a length measured from a start time that moves forward in time as the session is extended. The start time is anchored upon identification of an event, such that the sampling period is extended in length following the event.

An arrangement for determining a predicted health of a system that would result from an application of a proposed intervention to an existing system. The predicted health is determined by determining a set of modifications involved in the proposed intervention wherein each modification involves one or more components of the existing system. For each modification, a set of component information that pertains to the modification is obtained from a knowledge base. Each set of component information may specify inter-dependencies among the components involved in the modification. For each modification, it is determined whether the inter-dependencies specified in the component information are satisfied. The determination of whether the inter-dependencies are satisfied enables a determination of the predicted health of individual components of the system as well as the predicted health of the overall system.
摘要:
In at least some embodiments, a method comprises obtaining a state description associated with a system having a component. The method further comprises automatically obtaining a substantially optimal parameterization for the component based on one or more operant characteristics of the component predicted by a behavior prediction model using combinations of the system's state description and a set of possible parameterizations for the component.
摘要:
A messaging system that reduces communications bandwidth is disclosed. Difference messages are constructed at a sender from a message and prior state information. The difference messages include information describing the difference between the content of the message and a portion of prior state information, such as a prior message. The difference messages, including a prior message identifier, are sent to the receiver in place of the message. The message is reconstructed at the receiver using the corresponding difference message and the prior state information stored at the receiver. If the message reconstruction is unsuccessful, the sender is notified, and further required information is sent to the receiver.
摘要:
A communication framework supporting multiple communications protocols. The communications framework having a remote procedure call class providing an interface for an apply method, the apply method referencing a remote object, an operation to be performed, and an argument list. The communications framework also having at least one remote procedure call transport deriving from the remote procedure call class, each remote procedure call transport providing an implementation for the apply method whose interface is provided by the remote procedure call class. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
摘要:
In a method of operating a computer system having a plurality of processes, creating a plurality of object references, each object reference corresponding to a target object. The processes optionally executing on a plurality of computers connected by a network. For each object reference, creating a table of binding information hints. The table is indexed by a particular transport protocol and each entry in the table of binding information hints includes information to be used to attempt to establish a connection from the process to the target object using the indexing transport protocol. Merging the tables of binding information hints upon receiving an object reference. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
摘要:
Surveillance technology particularly suited to continuous gathering of autobiographical data. Integrated into a portable construction are data collection mechanisms for capturing substantially all perceptual stimulus and acquirable digital data in the immediate vicinity of the system, a data integrator for correlating said autobiographical data, and memory for storing collected data. The unit comprises a programmable device for integrating all data captured into an integrated, content-retrievable format. Data editing formats are also suggested.

Provided are systems and techniques for connecting first and second devices over a network by utilizing a small, portable third device to carry network connection information from one of the devices to the other. In one representative implementation, the portable device functions as a sort of virtual cable, in that plugging it into one of the first and second devices causes a connection to be established with the other.
