Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for solving a production network model by iteratively cascading supply decisions. Upstream supply decisions are fixed iteratively, and cascaded down the network in a general way that is independent of any particular use case.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems that construct an optimization capability that is able to solve optimization models of supply chain problems faster and with higher quality solutions than prior approaches.

Abstract: A system, method and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for computing a full dependency graph before obtaining a result of an analytic; and constructing a scheduling graph to optimally distribute work between the available threads, based on the full dependency graph.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to building a user profile data repository. A computer accesses, from a data repository, profile data of a first entity. The computer determines that a set of information items from the accessed profile data of the first entity are associated with a target activity. The computer determines that the set of information items associated with the target activity includes a subset of information items associated with a second entity. The computer creates or edits, within the data repository, profile data of the second entity based on the subset of information items. The computer provides a digital transmission of at least a portion of the profile data of the second entity.

Abstract: A computer receives, from over an electronic network, a plurality of communications associated with a primary individual. The computer determines, based on analysis of the plurality of communications, at least one location associated with the primary individual. Moreover, the computer identifies other individuals associated with the primary individual. The computer retrieves, from one or more databases, information relating to the other individuals.
