Abstract: Systems and methods according to embodiments provide elasticity for complex event processing (CEP) systems. Embodiments may comprise at least the following three components: (1) incremental query optimization, (2) operator placement, and (3) cost explanation. Incremental query optimization allows avoiding simultaneous computation of identical results by performing operator-level query reuse and subsumption. Using automatic operator placement, a centralized CEP engine can be transformed into a distributed one by dynamically distributing and adjusting the execution according to unpredictable changes in data and query load. Cost explanation functionality can provide end users with near real-time insight into the monetary cost of the whole system, down to operator level granularity. Combination of these components allows a CEP system to be scaled up and down.

Abstract: Systems and techniques that can be used for analyzing a social network or any other type of entity networks. In an effort to preserve the privacy rights of individuals, a model of a real entity network can be generated that is a balanced representation of the entity network, and various tests can be performed on metadata in the model. For example, the model network can be generated based on only two data portions: the total number of nodes in the network and the number of relations per node.

Abstract: A computer system determines a first criticality relating to frequency of execution of computer programs, a second criticality relating to frequency of execution of transactions, a third criticality relating to a number of users who execute the transactions, a fourth criticality relating to programs that modify the database tables having a large change in data, and a fifth criticality relating to the amount to time that each computer program is executed and the amount of time that each transaction is executed. The system determines intersections among the criticalities, and assigns a weighted value to each of the intersections. The system determines an overall criticality for a particular computer program or a particular transaction. The overall criticality is a function of the number of intersections in which the particular computer program or the particular transaction appears and the weighted values assigned to the intersections.
