Abstract: A customer inputs a question sentence indicating a problem that the customer needs to resolve, to an automatic question answering system, and the system answers the question sentence. A history of the conversation is recorded in the system as conversation history data. When the system fails to give a suitable answer in a question-and-answer session, the system escalates the question to a support representative. In such a case, the question sentences and an answer sentence given by the support representative to resolve the problem are added to question-answer pair data as new question-answer pairs. The accuracy of automatic question answering is thus enhanced.

Abstract: In a storage system in which a plurality of pieces of control software constituting a redundancy group are distributedly arranged in a plurality of storage nodes, control software in an active state out of the plurality of pieces of control software constituting the redundancy group receives a write request from a higher-level device. The control software in the active state writes data related to the write request by mirroring into a cache memory of a storage node in which the control software in the active state is arranged and a cache memory of a storage node in which control software in an inactive state belonging to the same redundancy group is arranged. The control software in the active state sends a write completion response to the higher-level device, and redundantly stores the data written in the cache memories in a storage device.

Abstract: The data processing management system includes a queue deployment system that deploys a queue with a processing description of stream processing having a branch instruction being an input. The queue deployment system designates processing to be preferentially executed for the processing description, measures throughputs in respective processing after the branch instruction, and obtains branch proportions that at which the respective processing after the branch instruction is executed. The queue deployment system then computes deployment costs in a case of deploying a queue between the branch instruction and the respective processing after the branch instruction, for combinations of the respective processing after the branch instruction using the throughputs and the branch proportions, and outputs a queue deployment pattern for preventing a decrease in a throughput of the processing to be preferentially executed among the respective processing after the branch instruction.

Abstract: A bandwidth between a second processor and a second memory is higher than a bandwidth between a first processor and a first memory. The first memory stores a read command from a host computer. The first processor analyzes a content of the read command, and in accordance with a result of the analysis, requests read data from the second processor. In response to the request from the first processor, the second processor reads the read data from one or more storage drives and stores the read data in the second memory. The second processor notifies the first processor that the read data is stored in the second memory. The first processor transfers the read data read from the second memory, to the host computer without storing the read data in the first memory.
