Appl. No.:

13/158860

Inventors:

Ramses Morales - Webster NY, US
Yu-An Sun - Webster NY, US

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 733

Abstract:

A method and system for creating a similarity-based overlay network of micro-markets. One or more distributed micro-markets can be operatively connected via a self-organizing overlay network to exchange data between distributed micro-markets in the network. A market similarity function can be computed by applying a filtering function with respect to a network protocol that is defined over particular attributes in order to enable decentralized clustering of similar markets. The data can be further advertised with respect to a set of neighbor markets in order to avoid selfish and rational behaviors between the markets. Such an approach dynamically evolves a structure of the micro-markets over time in order to optimize a desired market interaction in the network.

Abstract:

A system and method for creating a peer-to-peer geographical routing overlay network and a multi-attribute similarity routing overlay network. The geographical overlay network can be generated utilizing a geographical routing protocol to organize connections between one or more distributed micro-markets depending on a geographical location of each market and to detect a geographically close neighbor in a decentralized manner. The multi-attribute similarity overlay network can be computed by applying a filtering function based on a multi-attribute routing protocol defined over at least one attribute in order to enable decentralized clustering of the distributed micro-markets. The multi-attribute similarity protocol can be combined with the geographic overlay protocol to route messages to a target set of similarity-based attributes and a target geographic location thereby dynamically evolve a structure of distributed micro-markets over time and optimize a market interaction in the overlay network.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06Q 30/08

US Classification:

705 1449

Abstract:

In accordance with one aspect illustrated herein, a system is provided comprising a plurality of devices implementing a plurality of peer nodes coupled to a data-center-less network, wherein each of the plurality of devices implements at least one peer node. At least one of the plurality of peer nodes is configured as a publisher peer node for a plurality of contents cached on the respective peer node. Each publisher peer node is configured to publish one or more advertisements on the network. The data-center-less network can be built automatically from user interactions in the markets and includes proactive replication of advertisements to relevant micro-markets. The system still further provides automatic suggesting of the advertisements to a bidder, which are located in a different market, but are relevant to the bid. The automatic suggesting is based upon a computed strength of a connection between the publisher and the bidder using prior interactions.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

US Classification:

705 736

Abstract:

A method of implementing a business process may include receiving business process information associated with a business process. The business process information may include a graph representing one or more activities to be performed to complete the business process. The method may include identifying, by a computing device, a number of groups associated with the business process information. Each group may be capable of performing at least a portion of the activities. The method may include partitioning, by the computing device, the graph into a number of fragments that is greater than or equal to the number of identified groups. Each fragment may include one or more activities from the graph. The method may include, for each fragment, transmitting the fragment to an identified group that is capable of performing each activity associated with the fragment, and orchestrating the performance of the activities associated with each fragment by each group.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 711, 705 742

Abstract:

A service workflow including ordered services is received, and a heuristic utility value is calculated for each service. A best node having a smallest heuristic utility value for a service is selected, and a best node identifier is placed in a node list. If the best node includes a parallel sub-workflow, potential next nodes are identified by generating potential next nodes from a data center that can perform a service associated with the best node with a minimum run-time value. Otherwise, potential next nodes are generated based on a data center associated with the service. A heuristic utility value is determined for each potential next node, and a new best node is selected based on the heuristic utility values. The identifying, determining, and selecting operations are repeated until the best node contains only the last ordered service. Data centers for each ordered service are identified based on the best node.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to using maintenance mode to upgrade a distributed system. One method includes determining that a first host of a cluster of a software-defined datacenter (SDDC) is to be upgraded as a part of a rolling upgrade of the hosts of the cluster, wherein the first host is executing a process instance of a cluster store, demoting the process instance to a proxy, creating a replica of the process instance using a different proxy on a second host of the cluster, instructing the first host to enter a maintenance mode, upgrading the first host, and instructing the first host to leave the maintenance mode.

Abstract:

Methods and systems to sample event messages are described. As event messages are generated by one or more sources, the event messages are stored in a storage queue. An event message policy that represents conditions for storing event messages in a sample log file are input. For each event message output from the storage queue, the event message may be stored in a sample log file when one or more of the conditions of the event message policy are satisfied. The event messages of the sample log file may be displayed in a graphical user interface that enables a user to change the event message policy.
