  • Publication number: 20230230155
    Abstract: Geographical mapping and linking of security and risk indicator data. Cross-references are created between location indicators and geo-spatial areas based on a statistical algorithm, in accordance with geo-spatial data. The cross-references are stored in a first data table. A credit risk indicator (CRI) is generated for each geo-spatial area based on other data, forming CRI data that is stored in second data table. A security associated with one of the location indicators is identified among security data. A first link is created between the security and a geo-spatial area based on the cross-references in the first data table. Based on the first link, a second link is created between an indicator among the CRI data in the second data table and the security. The second link is used to form instrument-level data for the security that includes the indicator. The instrument-level data is stored in a third data table.

  • Publication number: 20230208571
    Abstract: An improved data packet communications approach is described that is adapted for communications across unreliable connections. In particular, the approach can be implemented as systems and methods for a networked router device configured to monitor communication characteristics and to group the connections into various tiers based on their communication reliability data. When a new packet is to be communicated, the grouped connections are utilized in aggregate to meet a target transmission reliability probability (e.g., target value or a band of values).

  • Patent number: 11683391
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for predicting microservices required for incoming requests for reducing the start latency of serverless microservices. The method may include obtaining tracing data of microservices of an application for historical requests processed by the application. The method may also include grouping the tracing data based on common request attributes. The method may also include aggregating each group into rules relating the common request attributes to lists of microservices. The method may also include building a predictive model formed of the rules for processing incoming requests to obtain a list of predicted microservices required for the incoming request based on attributes of the incoming request.

  • Publication number: 20230153233
    Abstract: A system that includes a failed test detector and a task updater can automatically update tasks associated with consistent failures of software tests in a software development management platform. The failed test detector can use a set of evidence of test (EOT) files that indicate software testing results over a period of time to identify tests that are consistently failing when executed against versions of a software application. The task updater can automatically create tasks associated with such consistently-failing tests in the software development management platform. The task updater can also automatically close existing tasks associated with tests, in the software development management system, if the failed test detector determines that those tests are no longer failing consistently.
