Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for capturing or collecting physiological, video and other experiment related data in digital format and storing the collected data. Each piece of data, including each individual video frame, is time stamped as received. The video is then reviewed offline, by a computer user, on a computer generated display presentation that includes a window of collected data indicia both before and subsequent to the time stamp of a given video frame being displayed. Different computer user defined marker types may also be displayed in the display window. Time stamped annotating marks may be made, by the computer user in response to user defined actions. The annotating marks may be displayed along with the collected data. Finally, the annotated marks, along with user selected portions of the collected data, may be saved for further review at a later time.

Abstract: Techniques are described for determining the complexity of a computing environment. The techniques include developing a model for the complexity of a computing environment based on the quantity of particular elements of the computing environment. The model includes two statistical weights for each element in the complexity model. One statistical weight is applied to each element to provide a complexity rating of the element. Another statistical weight is applied to each element to provide a complexity rating across all elements.
