Abstract: A method for controlling the execution of an application with a mobile electronic device (202) in a building (100) having a number of rooms (101), the application usable on the mobile electronic device (202) or usable via the mobile electronic device (202) comprises the steps of: experimentally generating at least one rule; measuring with the mobile electronic device (202) a plurality of location-specific short-range signals, and forming a set ({S(ti)}) of signal vectors (S(ti)) representing short-range signals (s) received from known signal transmitters (201, 202) at each time instant; using said set (C) of sequence classifiers of said at-least-one rule on said set ({S(ti)}) of signal vectors (S(ti)) to determine which sequence classifiers in the set (C) of sequence classifiers match; and controlling the execution of the application according to the at-least-one rule. The patent application also contains independent claims for a computer and a computer program product.

Abstract: The invention discloses an automatic resource measuring system, in other words an ARM system, to measure resources of a workflow or to form a workflow model for resource management in a distributed system. The ARM system is arranged to measure the distributed system to be examined and comprises radio transmitters which are station transmitters and task transmitters. Furthermore the ARM system comprises data collectors with a radio receiver for receiving the signals from the station transmitters and the task transmitters at the area of the station and a data server for receiving and processing the data collected by data collectors. The ARM system applies an interrupt signal to selectively mute task transmitters for a random time to avoid collision problems. The data collector transmits its arrival and exit data and task arrival data. This data is associated with a moment of time at the latest when said data arrives at the data server.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method of selection of server in a system including at least one dispatcher and several servers, in which system when a new task of a given class arrives, then the dispatcher assigns the task to one of these servers, characterized that the selection of the servers by the dispatcher is based on the MIPN (Multiclass Idle Period Notification) information, which is sent by the servers to the dispatcher.
