Abstract: A system and method for motivating parking enforcement officer performance with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A time-based active representational model of the city is created by fusing sensory data collected from various sources around a city with numerical data gleaned from historical and on-going activities, including parking regulation citation and warning numbers, resource allocations, and so on. The model can be used to form quantitative predictions of expected violations, revenue stream, and so forth, that can then be used as recommendations as to where to enforce and when, so as to maximize the utilization of the limited resources represented by the officers on the street. Moreover, the performance of the officers can be weighed against expectations of performance postulated from the quantitative predictions.

Abstract: A customer having a deployment of resources in a resource provider environment can utilize a mechanism such as an application programming interface (API) to obtain fault, risk, and/or distribution information for the deployment. A risk score can be generated, by the customer or a component of the resource provider environment, that gives the customer a measure of the risk of the current deployment, whereby the customer can request one or more changes to the customer deployment. In some embodiments the customer can provide one or more risk criteria, such as a maximum risk score or minimum fault tolerance, that the resource provider environment can attempt to satisfy over the duration of the customer deployment, automatically making adjustments to the deployment as appropriate. The risk score can include information about the customer workload as well as the physical deployment in order to provide more accurate data.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a confidential data architecture is extended by providing components for reliably inferring confidential data insights (e.g., median salary) for cohorts with little or no actual submitted confidential data. This is performed by inferring confidential data values based on organizations that are considered to be peers to the organization of interest. This solution involves two parts: the generation of a novel, semantic representation (embedding) of organizations to be used to compute a similarity measure between any two organizations, and the use of the semantic representation to compute a peer organization group of a given company.

Abstract: A system and method for coordinating parking enforcement officer patrol in real time with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A time-based active representational model of the city is created by fusing sensory data collected from various sources around a city with numerical data gleaned from historical and ongoing activities, including parking regulation citation and warning numbers, resource allocations, and so on. The model can be used to form quantitative predictions of expected violations, revenue stream, and so forth, that can then be used as recommendations as to where to enforce and when, so as to maximize the utilization of the limited resources represented by the officers on the street. Moreover, the performance of the officers can be weighed against expectations of performance postulated from the quantitative predictions.
