Publication number: 20150310371Abstract: An approach is provided for providing spatio-temporal key performance indicators (ST-KPIs). The approach tracks metrics, such as crowd density, pertaining to a number of locations. The tracking is performed over time to develop a history of past values that correspond to the metrics. The history is used to predict a trend of future metrics at the locations with the trend resulting in predicted future values that correspond to the metrics at the locations. In this manner, the ST-KPIs reflect the predicted future values at the various locations that are being monitored. A city view is displayed to a user showing the current and predicted values at defined ST-KPI locations throughout the city.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2014Publication date: October 29, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian P. Byrne, Adam R. Holley, Brian T. Lillie

Publication number: 20150286693Abstract: A user interface is generated that displays a set of selectable terms from a glossary of business terms and is configured to generate a business metadata query that identifies a forum with member profiles. A data movement executable is generated that identifies the forum and an analytical processing environment. The data movement executable is deployed and data is moved from the forum into the analytical processing environment. Analytics are performed on the data from the forum. Metadata is identified from the analytics. The glossary of business terms is updated using the metadata from the analytics.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2014Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Brian P. Byrne, Ivan M.

Patent number: 9043255Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system optimizes an information processing environment, and comprises at least one processor. The system collects information pertaining to operational behavior of the information processing environment and including a plurality of parameters. A neural network structure is established to associate the parameters to a desired operational performance characteristic for the information processing environment. The neural network structure is trained with the collected information from the information processing environment to produce a model for the information processing environment. The model is optimized to determine values for the parameters and the information processing environment is adjusted based on the determined parameter values to attain the desired operational performance of the information processing environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian P.

Publication number: 20150120346Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for categorization of assets. The mechanism receives attribute values for a set of information technology (IT) assets. The mechanism performs k-means clustering analysis to cluster together IT assets with similar attributes to form a set of asset clusters. The mechanism uses a knowledge representation associated with the set of IT assets to assign the IT assets into a set of tentative clusters. The mechanism categorizes the set of IT assets into categories based on a combination of the set of asset clusters and the set of tentative clusters.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2013Publication date: April 30, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian P.

Patent number: 8782039Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an approach for creating, evolving and using a weighted semantic graph to manage and potentially identify certain information assets within an enterprise. The semantic graph may be generated by monitoring users navigating through search results which provide a set of information assets responsive to a search query. By recording the navigation path taken by many users, relationships between information assets may be identified. Further, once generated, the semantic graph may be used to present users with in indication of related information assets as part of the search results. Further still, the semantic graph may also be used to identify information assert “hubs” as well as information assets that may provide low utility to individuals within the enterprise.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian P.
