  • Analysis of financial derivatives
    Patent number: 7392211
    Abstract: A method for trading in a financial derivative of an underlying asset includes determining a trend predictive of a future value of the asset and a predicted variance of the future value. Responsive to the trend and the variance, a density function is calculated, which is indicative of a probability distribution of the value at a first time in the future. Based on the density function at the first time, the density function is recalculated to find the probability distribution of the value at a second time, subsequent to the first time, and a trading decision is made with regard to the derivative of the asset based on the density function.

  • Load balancing among call center agents
    Publication number: 20030007628
    Abstract: A method for handling a customer contact request over a communication network includes selecting a subset of the agents at random within a set of agents who are able to handle the request. Relative levels of workload are determined among the agents in the subset, and one of the agents in the subset to whom to assign the request is chosen so as to balance the relative levels of workload within the subset.
