  • Patent number: 9940215
    Abstract: An automatic correlation accelerator tool may access at least a first recording and a second recording of a base script that defines operations executed in testing performance of a system. The tool may cause the system to execute the first recording of the base script and the second recording of the base script and store, in electronic storage, dynamic value data that describes dynamic values generated during execution of the first recording of the base script and during execution of the second recording of the base script. The tool automatically, without human intervention, analyzes the stored dynamic value data to identify candidates for correlation within the base script and generates a correlated script based on the identified candidates for correlation and the base script.

  • Publication number: 20180097742
    Abstract: Provisioning resources into the cloud is a constantly increasing technical challenge as more cloud service providers emerge, each offering disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features. A network proxy controls and normalizes the tagging data applicable across the multiple cloud service providers. The network proxy provides a central control mechanism for discovering, monitoring, and updating complex tagging data applied to the technical components provisioned with the cloud service providers. The network proxy also dynamically generates technical component request interfaces that include specifically prioritized metadata tags.

  • Patent number: 9876684
    Abstract: A system maintains, generates, and manages infrastructure layouts. The infrastructure layouts interconnect infrastructure components and capture relational aspects between the components within the interconnections. The infrastructure layouts map northbound services, which are service outputs, to southbound services, which are service capabilities, for fulfilment. The system may traverse a mapping from a northbound service to a fulfilling southbound service to generate a workflow to support deployment of the northbound service. In various implementations, the system may compare a path, which maps a northbound service to a southbound service, to a policy model to determine compliance with the policy.

  • Publication number: 20180018007
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides system and methods for electric vehicle distributed intelligence. A system may determine scheduled charging times and scheduled charging locations to charge electric vehicles. The scheduled charging locations may correspond to charging stations geographical distributed throughout a power grid. The system may receive parameters related to power grid components configured to affect distribution of power. The system may forecast a power demand for charging the electric vehicles at the scheduled charging times and scheduled charging locations. The system may determine that a power demand to charge the electric vehicles is greater or less than power made available by the power grid components at the charging stations. The system may cause power to be reallocated among the power grid components in response to determination that the power demand to charge the electric vehicles is greater or less than power made available by the power grid components.
