摘要:
A computer-implemented method for resource management includes storing in a memory a set of resource consumers, resources for allocation to the resource consumers, and initial binary constraints applying to the allocation of the resources. Respective variables are associated with the resource consumers, and the resources are identified as values applicable to the variables. A non-binary scoring criterion is applied to generate scores on a graded scale for proposed assignments of one or more of the resources to respective ones of the resource consumers. One or more additional binary constraints are defined based on the graded scale of the scores. An assignment is found of the values to the variables that satisfies the initial and additional binary constraints using a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) solver running on a processor that is coupled to the memory. The resources are assigned to the resource consumers responsively to the assignment of the values to the variables.

摘要:
A method for resource management includes associating respective variables with resource consumers, and identifying resources as values applicable to the variables. A group of the variables are identified as preferred variables. An assignment of the values to the variables that satisfies constraints applying to the allocation of the resources is found by repeatedly performing the steps of choosing a variable from the group, instantiating the chosen variable with a value, removing the chosen variable from the group, and pruning the domains of the other variables by propagation of the constraints. The resources are assigned to the resource consumers responsively to the assignment of the values to the variables.

摘要:
An advanced metering infrastructure comprises intermediate nodes. The intermediate nodes receive data from child nodes and relay a subset of the data that is not according to an expected value. The expected value may be determined based on a forecasting function computed based on past data. The expected value may be a spatial shape in an n-dimension space. A data not within the spatial shape may be considered not in accordance with the expected value. In some case, the spatial shape is defined by a centroid and a radius. The spatial shape may shift over time based on a consumption profile, such as low consumption at noon, and high consumption at evening. The consumption profiles may be determined in a learning phase, as well as shifting of spatial shapes of each group over time.

Churn prediction is performed by monitoring quality of service levels provided to customers. A time in which the customer is due to either churn or renew his agreement with the service provider may be monitored or computed. Machine learning methods may be utilized to determine a probability of churn based on historic data. Based upon the determination an output to retention personnel may be provided and an improved offer may be made to customers that are deemed in risk of churning.
摘要:
A method and system for accelerating receipt of data in a client to client network. The method includes the steps of intercepting queries and responses, storing the intercepted queries and responses in an acceleration server and transmitting the intercepted responses to clients submitting intercepted queries. The system includes at least one acceleration server designed and configured to perform the steps included in the method.
摘要:
Data records of a service provider may be utilized to estimate data regarding to users who are customers of an alternative service provider, such as a competitor. The data records may indicate interaction between users. An estimated value of a selected user may be determined based on a statistical model. The statistical model may be built using training data. The statistical model may take into account social activity of the selected user, such as which users are socially proximate to him. The statistical model may take into account interactions of the selected user with users who are customers of the service provider. The statistical model may take into account demographic data. The statistical model may take into account data regarding users who are socially proximate to the selected user.
