Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for scheduling crop transplantations are provided herein. A method includes determining one or more lifecycle constraints associated with a given crop via analysis of crop data; determining one or more cultivation conditions constraints associated with cultivating the given crop via analysis of cultivation conditions data; determining one or more weather forecast constraints associated with a given geographic area via analysis of weather forecast data; and generating a transplantation schedule for the given crop in the given geographic area based on determining a fit across (i) the one or more lifecycle constraints, (ii) the one or more cultivation conditions constraints, and (iii) the one or more weather forecast constraints.

Abstract: A contextual analysis engine systematically extracts, analyzes and organizes digital content stored in an electronic file such as a webpage. Content can be extracted using a text extraction module which is capable of separating the content which is to be analyzed from less meaningful content such as format specifications and programming scripts. The resulting unstructured corpus of plain text can then be passed to a text analytics module capable of generating a structured categorization of topics included within the content. This structured categorization can be organized based on a content topic ontology which may have been previously defined or which may be developed in real-time. The systems disclosed herein optionally include an input/output interface capable of managing workflows of the text extraction module and the text analytics module, administering a cache of previously generated results, and interfacing with other applications that leverage the disclosed contextual analysis services.

Abstract: Systems and methods for application-based billing in a wireless subscriber billing system are disclosed. A wireless client device can generate and transmit a billing request to the billing system. The billing system generates a validation response to the billing request and transmits the validation response to the client device. The validation response can be processed by the client device to enable a service linked to the billing request.
