Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer program product for upgrading a virtual system. The method includes: monitoring usage of system resources by the virtual system to acquire resource usage data indicating a system resource usage state of the virtual system, the virtual system using cloud services that provide the system resources. The method further includes: in response to acquiring attribute sets of a set of candidate cloud services, determining, based on the resource usage data, whether the virtual system needs to be upgraded; in response to determining that the virtual system needs to be upgraded, determining, based on the attribute sets, that the virtual system can be upgraded; and recommending, in response to determining that the virtual system can be upgraded, a candidate cloud service from the set of candidate cloud services based on the resource usage data and the attribute sets.

Abstract: A method for predicting an air quality index (AQI) based on a fusion model proposes a differential fusion seasonal prediction model (DF-SPM) based on a random forest (RF) model and a convolutional neural network (CNN)-long short-term memory (LSTM)-attention (CLA) model. This method uses the optimal threshold interval (OTI) search algorithm to search and learn the OTI of four seasons during the prediction process, and obtains the final prediction results according to the predicted values of RF model and CLA model. The fusion model combines the prediction advantages of two independent models, and fully considers the seasonal and periodic characteristics of AQI, so as to accurately search OTI in different time periods with the seasonal scale, so as to achieve higher prediction accuracy. The OTI strategy of fusion model is superior to the single threshold strategy, which can extract the historical fluctuation characteristics of AQI and achieve higher prediction accuracy.

Abstract: A method to determine the types of optical fibers forming a link of an optical communication network. By scanning a signal's bit error rate at a receiver end, as a function of a pre-dispersion applied to a signal at a transmitter end, local minimums in the curve indicate the presence of amplifiers, and therefore fiber span extremities. By determining the accumulated dispersion at each fiber extremity, a ratio of dispersion per span length can be obtained and the span's coefficient of chromatic dispersion be inferred, thereby identifying the type of fiber. Alternatively, a signal's signal-to-noise ratio can be scanned, instead of its bit error rate. In a typical network, the required instrumentation is pre-existing.
