Patent number: 8799294Abstract: A number of Web 2.0 sites support collaborative tagging systems, which allow users to tag resources with keywords. The tags enable search and retrieval of resources both for the user and for other users, using interfaces like a conventional search form or a tag cloud. A tag hierarchy-based search and retrieval system is provided that enhances the existing interfaces by improving search recall and allowing the discovery of even poorly annotated resources. The system uses tag co-occurrence information to automatically learn tag hierarchies. The learned hierarchies are used for automatically inferring additional tags to resources. These inferences are used to improve the recall of queries issued from a search form or via a tag cloud. The learned hierarchies can be viewed as an emergent ontology that is built up through the collaborative wisdom of a large number of users.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2008Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric Bouillet, Zhen Liu, Anand Ranganathan, Anton Riabov

Patent number: 8700752Abstract: A method and system for optimizing a configuration of a set of LPARs and a set of servers that host the LPARs. Configuration data and optimization characteristics are received. By applying the configuration data and optimization characteristics, a best fit of the LPARs into the servers is determined, thereby determining an optimized configuration. The best fit is based on a variant of bin packing or multidimensional bin packing methodology. The optimized configuration is stored. In one embodiment, comparisons of shadow costs are utilized to determine an optimal placement of the LPARs in the servers. LPAR(s) in the set of LPARs are migrated to other server(s) in the set of servers, which results in the LPARs and servers being configured in the optimized configuration.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2009Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric Bouillet, Randy Scott Johnson, Tedrick Neal Northway, Li Zhang, Clea Anne Zolotow
