Abstract: A computing device analyzes the transaction entries in a transaction log to identify related commands associated with performing a set of data operations. Commands are considered to be potentially related if the commands are executed within a predetermined timespan. Sets of potentially related commands are then grouped together into corresponding candidate patterns, and further analyzed in view of additional information to determine a probability that the potentially related commands of a candidate pattern are actually related. A confidence value indicating that probability is also determined. Application management tasks, such as database optimization and recovery tasks, for example, may then be performed based on the candidate patterns that meet or exceed a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method for presenting a trusted tag cloud to a user. The method includes associating a number of tags with a first user who applies the tags, calculating a weight of the tags being examined by a second user. The weight may be based on the identity of the second user, the identity of the first user, and examining the relationship between the two. The tags may then be presented to the user in accordance with the value of the weight.

Abstract: A newsfeed generation system generates feeds of content items related to specific topics. The newsfeed generation system receives content items from one or more content sources, and matches the content items to topics based on a measure of affinity of each content item for one or more objects in a database that are associated with various topics. Content items associated with an object associated with a topic are included in a feed of content items associated with the topic.
