Publication number: 20170185729Abstract: In one example aspect, a method obtains a file system of a virtual machine. The virtual machine comprises a plurality of applications. The plurality of applications are started through an initialization system when the virtual machine is initialized. The method captures a set of contents of the file system of the virtual machine. The method captures a metadata of the file system of the virtual machine. The method captures a state of file system of virtual machine. The method converts the plurality of applications deployed in the virtual machine into a set of containers by creating a separate container image for each application of the plurality of applications deployed in the virtual machine. Each container comprises an application packaging medium and is built based on a container specification. The container specification is derived from the set of contents of the file system of the virtual machine, metadata of the file system of the virtual machine, and the state of file system of virtual machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Srinidhi Boray, Barry Robson

Patent number: 8805874Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for searching chemical compounds referenced in chemical literature. References to chemical compounds in the documents may be transformed to corresponding references using a standard notation for representing chemical compounds. Criteria specifying desired molecular characteristics may be received. A regular expression may be generated based on the received criteria. The chemical documents may be searched using the regular expression. Based on the search, a chemical document may be determined that references a chemical compound satisfying the received criteria. Further, the regular expression may be generated based on the received criteria and a received mutation rule. Based on the generated regular expression and the chemical documents, one or more chemical compounds may be discovered that satisfy both the received criteria and the received mutation rule, but that is are not referenced in the chemical documents.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2013Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard D.

Publication number: 20080125978Abstract: A computer-based method is provided for deriving a genome of an individual. The method comprises the steps of accessing a selector for an individual and a reference template for a group genome, the selector comprising a locus value and a base value; and processing the selector and the reference template to derive a sequence representative of the genome of the individual. The reference template preferably comprises data components representing a probability of occurrence of a base value. The probability of occurrence is based on base value occurrences at corresponding locus values in the group genome. The method of the present invention further comprises computing a base value from the data component in the reference template, for base values not in the selector.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2002Publication date: May 29, 2008Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Barry Robson, Richard Mushlin

Patent number: 7158892Abstract: A computer-based method is provided for transferring data that includes a genomic sequence. The method includes identifying at least one genomic base in an input data stream comprising said genomic sequence; assigning a base-specific binary code to the at least one genomic base; grouping the base-specific binary code to form a genomic data stream representative of the genomic sequence; assigning a command binary code to at least one command for selectively processing said genomic data stream; and integrating said genomic data stream and said command binary code to form an output binary data stream.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Barry Robson, Richard Alan Mushlin

Patent number: 7043476Abstract: Data mining techniques are provided which are effective and efficient for discovering useful information from an amorphous collection or data set of records. For example, the present invention provides for the mining of data, e.g., of several or many records, to discover interesting associations between entries of qualitative text, and covariances between data of quantitative numerical types, in records. Although not limited thereto, the invention has particular application and advantage when the data is of a type such as clinical, pharmacogenomic, forensic, police and financial records, which are characterized by many varied entries, since the problem is then said to be one of “high dimensionality” which has posed mathematical and technical difficulties for researchers. This is especially true when considering strong negative associations and negative covariance, i.e.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2002Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Barry Robson
