20080222060 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MINING TIME-CHANGING DATA STREAMS USING A DYNAMIC RULE CLASSIFIER HAVING LOW GRANULARITY - A dynamic rule classifier for mining a data stream includes at least one window for viewing data contained in the data stream and a set of rules for mining the data. Rules are added and the set of rules are updated by algorithms when an drift in a concept within the data occurs, causing unacceptable drops in classification accuracy. The dynamic rule classifier is also implemented as a method and a computer program product. | 09-11-2008 |
20080275646 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MINIMAL DETOUR ROUTING WITH MULTIPLE STOPS - The present invention provides a system and method for optimizing routes that include multiple stops. This is accomplished by allowing users to identify a starting point, a destination, and types of businesses or other locations to be visited along the way. A route processor then provides users with a list of stores or other requested detour choices yielding a trip of optimal itinerary. The detour choices may be either an ordered sequence or an unordered set of points to be visited and may include constraints that make it possible to optimize utility functions according to user preferences. | 11-06-2008 |

20140101013 | SELF-SERVICE INTERFACE FOR POLICY CONTROL IN THE CLOUD - One embodiment of a computer readable storage medium contains an executable program for providing a cloud-based service to an enterprise comprising a plurality of members, where the program causes a processor to perform steps including receiving at least a portion of a policy a first user within the enterprise, where the policy defines a limit on usage of the cloud-based service by at least some of the plurality of members, receiving a request for the cloud-based service from a second user associated with one of the plurality of members, and automatically responding to the request in accordance with the policy. | 04-10-2014 |
20140114784 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CUSTOM-FITTING SERVICES TO CONSUMER REQUIREMENTS - Systems and methods for custom-fitting a service solution to consumer requirements are provided. A method for custom-fitting a service solution to consumer requirements, comprises acquiring a request for the service solution from a consumer via a conversational interface, and issuing a query to a service knowledge base to obtain a set of service knowledge representation items from the service knowledge base and analyzing each service knowledge representation item to determine whether a custom-fit service solution can be developed. | 04-24-2014 |
20140114805 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CUSTOM-FITTING SERVICES TO CONSUMER REQUIREMENTS - Systems and methods for custom-fitting a service solution to consumer requirements are provided. A method for custom-fitting a service solution to consumer requirements, comprises acquiring a request for the service solution from a consumer via a conversational interface, and issuing a query to a service knowledge base to obtain a set of service knowledge representation items from the service knowledge base and analyzing each service knowledge representation item to determine whether a custom-fit service solution can be developed. | 04-24-2014 |
20140164166 | PROVIDING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RESILIENCY IN A CLOUD-BASED SERVICES MARKETPLACE - A method for providing a cloud-based service includes receiving information from a customer of the service over a conversational interface, the information identifying a requirement of the customer related to a resiliency of the service, and identifying a service provider who provides the service in a manner that satisfies the requirement. A method for building a knowledge base of cloud-based service providers includes receiving information from a service provider, the information specifying at least one resiliency attribute of the service provider, matching the information to a standardized service descriptor, wherein the service descriptor is indexed within an ontology-based organizational framework that indexes a plurality of service descriptors, and storing the service descriptor for the service provider. | 06-12-2014 |
20140337010 | INTERACTIVE ACQUISITION OF REMOTE SERVICES - A natural language specification of at least one high level information technology services requirement is obtained from a user, via a conversational interface; the same is parsed into first pre-defined semi-structured data, using a conversation parser. Based on the first pre-defined semi-structured data, a subset of candidate information technology services is identified, with a dialog engine, from a plurality of candidate information technology services provided by a plurality of vendors, the dialog engine is used to formulate a response including second pre-defined semi-structured data. The response is reverse-parsed into a natural language response, using the conversation parser. The natural language response includes a question for the user to assist in further refining the subset of candidate information technology services; the natural language response is presented to the user via the conversational interface. | 11-13-2014 |
