Patent number: 7917380Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for strategic budgeting of initial response for managing wildfires. According to the present invention, stochastic-integer-programming-based constrained optimization techniques are employed to develop a strategic budget by optimally allocating disaster management resources to disaster events belonging to scenarios associated with occurrence probabilities. According to the invention, certain machine-readable data describing fires may be subjected to computerized data processing, ultimately producing a determination of valid disaster management resources for each fire event, which may be used for strategic budgeting of initial responses for managing wildfires.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2008Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tarun Kumar, Gyana Ranjan Parija, Haifeng Xi

Patent number: 7835891Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining an alternative representation of an optimization model reduces model input through compact representation of model parameters. Model generation is performed at varying levels of complexity (approximation) depending on pre-defined, business approved thresholds. The computer receives a set of functions representing a set of events where each function includes sets of first and second axis coordinate values. Each of the functions are transformed to a compacted function which includes a set of pieces including an anchor point, break points, and slopes. Successive pieces having the same slope value are removed. Alternate optimization models are generated based on the set of pieces representing a compacted function and on a predetermined accuracy value.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tarun Kumar, Gyana Ranjan Parija, Haifeng Xi

Patent number: 7774226Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for developing an optimal sales plan for multiple products with multiple price classes contingent on different possible realizations of uncertain demand over multiple time periods with the objective of maximizing expected revenue over a constrained capacity. The present invention formulates a multistage stochastic program that generates a quantity of each of the multiple products to be sold in each of the multiple time periods and a recommendation for when realized demand for at least one of the multiple time periods exceeds a planned sales volume; estimates a likelihood that the realized demand for the at least one of the multiple time periods exceeds the planned sales volume; and collects realized order data for each of the multiple time periods; and executes the multistage stochastic program using the likelihood and the realized order data to generate a sales plan.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2003Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jayant R.

Patent number: 7730020Abstract: Equipment failures are diagnosed using an integrated approach of case-based reasoning (CBR) and statistical reliability analysis. The method outputs a single list of suggested failed components, ranked by an overall probability of failure, and their associated past solutions from the case base. The overall probability of failure is calculated using the combined logic of case based reasoning and statistical reliability analysis. The method is typically used in a real-time decision support system to aid equipment diagnosis by a maintenance technician working in the field.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ying Tat Leung, Gyana Ranjan Parija, Samir Sharma

Publication number: 20090112837Abstract: A content repository of a system stores items of content to be disseminated to users. The content repository generates a content profile for each item of content as the item of content is received. The content profile for each item of content includes information regarding the item of content. A user repository of the system generates and stores a user profile for each user. The user profiles are generated from one or more information sources. The user profile for each user includes information regarding the user. A recommendation engine of the system determines which items of content should be delivered to each user based on the content profiles of the items of content and on the user profile of each user, to yield relevant items of content for each user. The recommendation engine then delivers the relevant items of content to each user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Inventors: Natwar Modani, Anupam Saronwala, Sougata Mukerjea, Gyana Ranjan Parija
