Abstract: In one embodiment, the method includes determining one or more nodes associated with a treatment of a query; generating one or more stimuli associated with the treatment of the query wherein the or each stimulus are likely to perturb one or more resources within a system; measuring data at the or each node relating to the resources to determine the effect of the or each stimuli at the or each node; identifying one or more pairs of nodes which have a correlation in the measured data; transforming the correlation into a causal relationships where the cause is a measuring device measuring the response and the consequences are the other correlated measuring devices; generating a list of causal relationships; and combining different causal relationships into a causal model so that a chain of causal propagations can be built.

Abstract: A device (D) is intended for determining potential interests of users (U1-U3) that are clients of at least one network operator, each user being associated to a profile defining at least his interests. This device (D) comprises i) a tracking means (TM) arranged for analyzing the profile of at least one user (U1) to determine new real interest(s) it contains and for storing an identifier representative of a determined new real interest of this user (U1) in correspondence with a first date at which it has been considered as a new real interest into his profile, and ii) a recommendation means (RM) arranged for analyzing the first dates of a user (U1) to determine a time ordered sequence of interests preceding a determined new real interest, and for comparing this determined user interest sequence to at least one other sequence of interests of at least one other user (U2) to predict at least one potential future interest for this user (U1), to be introduced into his profile.

Abstract: In order to contact a user who owns a mobile terminal (TM), who is the recipient of a call from a calling user's communicating device (DCa) to the mobile terminal and who cannot be reached by means of the mobile terminal over a telecommunications network (RT), a communication server (SC) determines a level of urgency of the call, determines a list of third-party users who may be placed in contact with the calling user, based on the social relationship between the called user and each third-party user, on geolocation data (Dg) related to the called user and related to third-party users, and on the call's level of urgency, and establishes a call between the calling user at least one third-party user on the list.

Abstract: A device (D) is designed to manage applications for a piece of communication equipment (EC) of a user, capable of connecting to a communication network (R). This device (D) comprises i) a search system (MR) configured to determine, through the network (R), applications that may be downloaded and used by the communication equipment (EC) and that are potentially useful to the user based on at least one parameter, and ii) a management system (MG) configured to order the communication device (EC) to download to a storage system (MS2) at least one of the applications thus determined in order to offer it to the user, and to control the installation of each proposed application selected by the user in order for it to be potentially used at least temporarily.
