  • Publication number: 20230146583
    Abstract: A summary generation unit includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to: extract, based on components of text data regarding an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) service, one or more pieces of first feature information from the text data; a extract, based on components of a target belonging to a goal of sustainable development goals (SDGs), one or more pieces of second feature information from the target; determine a degree of similarity between the first feature information and each of the one or more pieces of second feature information; and generate a result of a cluster analysis of a set of the components that correspond to a piece of second feature information having the similarity equal to or more than a threshold among the one or more pieces of second feature information, the result of the cluster analysis being a summary of the goal.

  • Publication number: 20230013113
    Abstract: A surplus power capacity calculation system includes: a measurement unit that measures a total value of electric power supplied from a power supply device to a plurality of ICT devices; and a monitoring device that calculates a surplus power capacity of the power supply device. The monitoring device includes: a calculation unit that acquires the total value and a processing amount of each of the plurality of ICT devices, estimates an increase in power consumption on the basis of the processing amount when each ICT device performs processing with a maximum processing amount, and subtracts a sum of the increase and the total value from a maximum power consumption amount of the power supply device to calculate the surplus power capacity.
