Publication number: 20190050376Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically analyzing received values to determine their semantic meaning and apply one or more formatting modifications and/or emphases to the received values based on the determined semantic meaning. In one example, a value to be formatted based on a semantic context associated with at least two portions of the received value is received. In response, a semantic rules associated with the received value is identified. The received value is semantically processed using the semantic rules, where processing includes identifying at least two portions of the value corresponding to their contexts. At least one formatting rule is determined as associated with the two or more semantic contexts, each formatting rule associated with a particular context. The formatting rules are applied to the corresponding portions of the received values associated their semantic contexts to generate a modified version of the received value, which is then provided for presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2017Publication date: February 14, 2019Inventors: Rouven Krebs, Steffen Koenig, Benjamin Hoke, Jochen Wilhelm, Christian Rost, Matthias Meissner

Patent number: 9940311Abstract: In an approach for optimizing read/write access to a document object model in a web browser, one or more computer processors detect one or more accesses to a first data structure of a document object model. Based on the detected one or more accesses, the one or more computer processors determine whether the first data structure is a highly dynamic part of the document object model. Responsive to determining the first data structure is a highly dynamic part of the document object model, the one or more computer processors trigger a conversion of the first data structure to an access optimized data structure. The one or more computer processors convert the first data structure to an access optimized data structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas H.

Publication number: 20180081925Abstract: In an approach for calculating a probability of a consistency violation of a transaction in a database management system, a processor receives a plurality of transactions within a predetermined time period. A processor identifies a first pattern in a first transaction of the plurality of transactions based on at least an isolation level of the transaction. A processor identifies a second pattern, wherein the second pattern is the cooperation between the first transaction and the second transaction. A processor determines that the first pattern of the first transaction substantially matches a preexisting pattern, wherein the preexisting pattern corresponds to values for a mathematical model for estimating a percentage of transactions in violation of consistency criteria. A processor extracts values from the first transaction based on the determined preexisting pattern. A processor calculates the mathematical model using the values from the first transaction and the values from the preexisting pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2015Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Thomas H.
