Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring and managing ambiguity among a plurality of configuration items residing in a configuration management database include determining for at least a first configuration item, at least a second configuration item such that a first set of attributes associated with the first configuration item and a second set of attributes associated with the second configuration item have at least one attribute with an identical value. As an indicator for the ambiguity, an ambiguity index for the first configuration item may be measured. One of the first configuration item and the second configuration item may be identified as an ambiguous configuration item. Upon identification, an operational state of the ambiguous configuration item or a set of one or more attributes associated with the ambiguous configuration item may be modified. The ambiguity for configuration item transactions may likewise be measured and managed to locate and resolve transaction ambiguity.

Abstract: A method for a dynamic adapter design pattern is described. The method comprises a series of tour components being selected for a user from a plurality of tour components. This selection may be based on interaction information of a plurality of past participants with the plurality of tour components. A selected tour component, from the plurality of tour components, is received from the user. The series of tour components are adapted in real-time based on the selected component. This adaptation occurs by determining the user's prior interaction with the plurality of tour components, comparing the user's prior interaction and the selected tour component with the interaction information of the plurality of past participants, and modifying the series of tour components based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method for a dynamic adapter design pattern is described. The method comprises receiving past participant information regarding a plurality of past participants of a tour. Interaction information regarding the plurality of the past participants' interaction with a plurality of components of the tour is also received. The interaction information is mapped to the plurality of components. Particular user information about a current user is received. In response to receiving the particular user information, a recommended order of components of the tour is determined using the past participant information, particular user information, and the interaction information.
