摘要： 1. A method for monitoring transaction based systems monitoring their system resource and transaction performance data with thresholds on metrics, said method comprising the steps of collecting system resource data and transaction performance data on a period basis and each time a transaction performance metric is passed, triggering the collection of the system resource and storing an identifier correlating the transaction performance data and the system resource data; merging the collected system resource and transaction performance data; calculating the mean value for each system resource or transaction performance metric of merged data; identifying the metrics for which there is a significant difference between mean value obtained with triggering or without triggering; according to the identified metric mean value, calculating new thresholds of system resource metrics to be used for monitoring. The steps of the method are repeated as many times as necessary for a good training of the system monitoring. Alternatively, the method can be applied to a service offering distributed environment wherein the servers collect locally monitoring data, sending it for further processing on a manager server which sends back the new resource monitoring inputs.

摘要： A scheduler is provided, which takes into account the location of the data to be accessed by a set of jobs. Once all the dependencies and the scheduling constraints of the plan are respected, the scheduler optimizes the order of the remaining jobs to be run, also considering the location of the data to be accessed. Several jobs needing an access to a dataset on a specific disk may be grouped together so that the grouped jobs are executed in succession, e.g., to prevent activating and deactivating the storage device several times, thus improving the power consumption and also avoiding input output performances degradation.

摘要： Modeling non-functional requirements (NFRs) in a computer programming environment. In one aspect, this further comprises: identifying use case (UC) artifacts having one or more NFRs; retrieving the one or more NFRs and any data associated therewith; analysing the associated data to define a test case therefor; retrieving a UC realization from a model to determine one or more possible program flows; and testing each possible program flow to select the test case which verifies the use case required, thereby modeling the NFR.

摘要： A solution for managing a software image being stored in a plurality of physical blocks of a storage system comprises monitoring each access to the physical blocks, calculating a predicted sequence of access to the physical blocks according to the monitored accesses, and reorganizing the physical blocks according to the predicted sequence. The monitoring may be performed as the physical blocks are accessed during the booting of virtual images on the software image.

摘要： Embodiments monitor the participation of remote users to conference calls even when they are connected through simple telephone, i.e. without multimedia (or Internet) connection. In particular, an embodiment enables callers to monitor an up to date list of participants without the need of using a dedicated phone or connecting through a PC and a dedicated line to a central Conference Call system. This can be highly useful in case of travelling users who are expected to join the call from different places. Embodiments may not need a complex network infrastructure or network protocol change, since the information about the participant list can be transmitted over the normal phone line using a predetermined set of signals (e.g. an acoustic signal). Both the Conference Call server and the peripheral devices may refer to the same set of signals. Embodiments may be transparent to those users who do not wish to (or cannot) use the new functionality.

摘要翻译： 即使通过简单的电话连接，即没有多媒体（或因特网）连接，实施例也监视远程用户参与电话会议。 特别地，一个实施例使得呼叫者能够监视参与者的最新列表，而不需要使用专用电话或者通过PC和专用线路连接到中央电话会议系统。 对于预计来自不同地方的电话的旅行用户来说，这是非常有用的。 实施例可能不需要复杂的网络基础设施或网络协议改变，因为关于参与者列表的信息可以使用预定的一组信号（例如，声信号）通过普通电话线传输。 会议呼叫服务器和外围设备都可以参考相同的一组信号。 对于不希望（或不能）使用新功能的用户，实施例可以是透明的。

摘要： A mechanism for reducing electronic mail (email) sizes by using a local archive of email components is provided. The mechanism receives the email file, the email file specifying a sender identifier of a sender of the email file, a recipient identifier of a recipient of the email file, and common component information for a common component included in the email file, the common component being a component of the email file that is common amongst a plurality of email files sent from the sender. The mechanism identifies the common component of the email file and determines whether to remove the common component from the email file before forwarding the email file to the recipient based on at least the sender identifier. Based on the determination, the common component is either removed or kept in the email file that is subsequently transmitted to the recipient computer.

摘要： A method and system for dynamically sharing performance information among multiple computing nodes. One implementation involves dynamically obtaining performance information from deployments of an information technology (IT) product/solution at said computing nodes, and transmitting the obtained performance information to a server over a communication network for storing the obtained performance information in a knowledge database. The server operates to dynamically determine new configuration information based on the information in the database, store the new configuration in the database, and provide the new configuration information to said deployments by transmitting the new configuration information over the network.

摘要： A solution (400) for scheduling execution of jobs is proposed. The submission of the jobs is generally controlled according to a production plan (406), which specifies a required finish time of critical jobs. In the proposed solution, a current progress of each critical job is monitored (427-430)—such as comparing a (measured) number of processor cycles dedicated to the critical job with an estimated total number thereof (required to complete the critical job, as inferred from previous executions thereof). At the same time, an expected progress of each critical job is estimated (433)—such as by the ratio between a time elapsed from an actual start time of the critical job and an allowable duration thereof (from the actual start time to the required finish time). The current progress of each critical job is then compared with its expected progress, so as to identify (436) the critical jobs that are late in their execution. Additional execution resources can then be assigned to each late critical job only when it is necessary to bring back the critical job on schedule.
