Patent number: 10607174Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to proactive computer simulation of portable product failures, and more specifically, to determining the likely cause of an outbreak of foodborne disease or other geographically distributed symptoms of a failure or contamination of a portable product. In one embodiment, a method of and computer program product for simulating portable product failures is provided. Data regarding the locations of consumers of a portable product within a geographic region is received from a data store. A probability density map is determined from the data, indicating where the portable product is likely to be consumed within the geographical region. For each of a plurality of simulated failures of the portable product, the locations of a plurality of simulated incidents arising from the simulated failure are determined.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew Aaron Davis, Stefan Bengt Edlund, Hu Kun, James H.
