The apparatus is configured to: receive a first score, wherein the first score comprises a first numerical value associated with a first level of quality, wherein the first level of quality is associated with a first deliverable; receive a second score, wherein the second score comprises a second numerical value associated with a second level of quality, wherein the second level of quality is associated with the first deliverable; and process the first score and the second score to generate a third score.

Abstract: System, computer implemented method and computer program product for preparing and navigating a query tree including a plurality of query nodes and informational nodes. Each query node is associated with a prompt, branching criteria and keywords. A current query node provides a prompt to a user and a user response is received and analyzed to identify branching criteria and keywords from the user response. The method navigates to another node in the query tree in consideration of the branching criteria received in the user response and a comparison between the keywords received in the user response and the keywords associated with the query nodes. The comparison may validate navigation to a destination node corresponding to the branching criteria or the comparison may indicate incorrect navigation of the query tree. Corrective navigation can be implemented in various ways based upon the keywords received in the user response.

Abstract: For plural categorical values of a first attribute, more relevant categorical values of a second attribute are selected from among candidate categorical values of the second attribute, where the selecting uses a relevance determination process that considers frequencies of occurrence of respective pairs of the categorical values of the first and second attributes. A visualization that includes groups of cells corresponding to the respective pairs of categorical values of the first and second attributes is generated. At least one of the groups includes cells assigned visual indicators based on values of a third attribute.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for generating a reference set via seed documents is provided. A collection of documents is obtained. One or more seed documents are identified. The seed documents are compared with the document collection and those documents that are similar to the seed documents are identified as reference set candidates. A size threshold is applied to the reference set candidates, which are grouped as the reference set when the size threshold is satisfied.

Abstract: A data indexing system is provided. The system includes: a time interval splitting unit configured to split a predetermined time range into a plurality of time intervals. A first index creating unit is configured to create a first-level index for data in a current time interval, the first-level index including a time interval index and a subspace index. A second index creating unit is configured to create, in a time interval after the current time interval, a second-level index for data in the current time interval. The second-level index has a finer granularity than the first-level index. A data indexing method and a data querying method are also provided. The cost for index maintenance can be greatly reduced in a case of frequent updates. Further, invalid scans during the query process can be reduced and the query performance can be improved.

Abstract: Distributed storage systems support SQL while also providing scalability and fault tolerance by utilizing an SQL library (the SQL execution component) layered on top of a transactional key-value system (the storage component). The SQL library comprises a parser and an execution engine running at the client, while the storage component comprises a key-value system for storing the data. The SQL library parses SQL queries received from client applications and maps them to transactions on the key-value system. The key-value system stores data items identified by key and provides concurrency control mechanisms to handle concurrent transactions. The key-value system may be a distributed system with several storage servers, each attached to one or more storage devices.

Abstract: An apparatus, computer-readable medium, and computer-implemented method for data subsetting, including receiving a request for a subset of data from a plurality of tables, determining whether an entity graph corresponding the plurality of tables contains a cycle, and if so, performing cyclic subset processing, otherwise, expanding the entity graph and performing acyclic subset processing if the expanded entity graph does not have any cycles and cyclic subset processing if the expanded entity graph does have cycles.

Abstract: Approaches for data integration between multiple IT sources using automated data processing based on target metadata are provided. Specifically, an integration component is configured to load a mapped data set into a table with delta processing based on a configuration object containing, e.g., the source data location, target table name, and source to target mapping. The integration component uses the target metadata to validate data, identify changes, generate the necessary database programming language (e.g., structured query language (SQL)), and run the database programming language with data binding to perform the actual data updates. The integration component leverages the data target metadata to automate the processing of source data, thus providing a way to validate the data, and identify delta changes at the field level between the source and target. This significantly reduces the overall development effort, while providing consistency in record handling and error reporting.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to offload technology. In aspects, a mechanism is described that allows an offload provider to use larger tokens. The larger token may be physical or virtual. In response to an offload read command, a larger token may be created and data from the larger token may be split or injected into multiple tokens of a smaller size. In response to an offload write command, data from the multiple tokens may be combined into a larger token and/or extracted and used to obtain bulk data.

Abstract: A system for determining a cause of an incident analyzes one or more change records based on text analytics using a dictionary and rules for the analysis in order to generate an index of analyzed data that represents the one or more change records. The change records each include a change and corresponding time frame for occurrence of the change. Information from a request is applied to the index of analyzed data to determine one or more candidate causes for the incident and the corresponding time frame for occurrence of the change. A time associated with the request is correlated with the corresponding time frame for occurrence of the change to identify the one or more candidate causes in the one or more change records as causes for the incident. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for determining causes of an incident.

Abstract: A method of providing concurrent access to a hierarchy in a data structure may include receiving a request from a first process to change a first value associated with an object, where the request may include a second value to be combined with the first value. The method may also include determining that a second process is currently accessing information associated with the object. The method may additionally include associating, in response to determining that the second process is currently accessing information associated with the object, the second value with the object without combining the first value and the second value.
