  • Patent number: 7604541
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for detecting collusion in online gaming involving a plurality of players, the method comprising storing game information data and game action data on every action in every game for every player in the online gaming database, performing a player action analysis of correlated actions between a pair of online game players and storing data from the player action analysis in a user action database, employing one or more Bayesian Network graphical models to determine a likelihood of conditional behavior between the pair of online game players, computing individual scores for the Bayesian Network graphical models and comparing the score of a collusional model with that of a non-collusional model.

  • Patent number: 6937993
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking and processing Service Orders for a telecommunications company. Workflows are used to model business procedures used for processing Service Orders. Each Workflow comprises a plurality of Workflow steps. Business process models are depicted as Workflow diagrams. The Workflow diagrams are stored in a library in a database. Work plans comprising a plurality of Workflow steps and associated data and are derived from information found in the Workflow diagrams. Upon receipt of a Service Order, an appropriate work plan is selected based on information within the Service Order. Each Workflow step is assigned a resource and is scheduled for completion with a start and a stop date and placed in the in-boxes associated with the selected resource. Users log-on to remote workstations coupled with a company-wide Intranet or the like. From the remote workstations, users from various organizations view their in-boxes and other information about current Service Orders.

  • Patent number: 6349238
    Abstract: A system and method for managing the workflow for processing Service Orders among a variety of organizations within a telecommunications company. The system and method coordinates all of the tasks and activities related to order processing among the various entities within the telecommunications company. Workflows are used to model business procedures used for processing Service Orders. Each workflow comprises a plurality of workflow steps. Business process models are depicted as workflow diagrams. Upon receipt of a Service Order, an appropriate Work Plan is selected based on information within the Service Order. Each workflow step is assigned a Resource and is scheduled for completion. The Workflow steps are then placed in In-boxes associated with the selected Resource. Once the processing steps have been scheduled, a current work step is calculated. Notification messages are sent to the appropriate systems to notify them to begin activity associated with the current work step.
