Publication number: 20150006471Abstract: A method and apparatus for comparing event data sets. A method, system and computer program for comparing event data sets comprising: calculating one or more derivatives for each event in a first and second set of events; classifying each event by the calculated derivatives; and evaluating a similarity of the first and second sets of events based on the classifications of the respective events.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2014Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Piotr Przestrzelski, Eric Thiebaut-George

Patent number: 8656224Abstract: A set of connected network devices and at least one network device generate an event record containing an identity of the generating network device and a timestamp indicating when the event was generated. The event record is retrieved that identifies the network device that generated the event. A key period of use associated with the generating network device is also retrieved. If the time of the event is within the retrieved key period, the event record is modified to show that the event is within the retrieved key period. Using information in the modified event record, the event and an indication that the event is within the retrieved key period is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William Duchenay, Thierry P. R. Supplisson, Eric Thiebaut-George

Publication number: 20130326277Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for data lifecycle management is provided. A method for managing metrics from a monitored system comprises: identifying a fault from the monitored system; identifying from the monitored system, one or more metrics are that are directly related to the fault and one or more metrics that are indirectly related to the fault by virtue of being directly or indirectly related to the one or more directly related metrics; identifying a lifespan condition associated with the fault; adding or changing a lifespan for each of the directly and indirectly related metrics based on the identified lifespan condition; and removing metrics from the storage if their associated lifespans are over.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2013Publication date: December 5, 2013Inventors: Thierry Supplisson, Eric Thiebaut-George

Patent number: 8364395Abstract: An enhanced navigation system allowing navigation route and destination planning according to user-specified criteria for the emotion state of persons along the route, at the destination, or both. The enhancement is accomplished by receiving a set of human emotion metrics corresponding to one or more parts of a navigation plan; determining if the human emotion metrics meet one or more user-specified criteria; responsive to not meeting the criteria, determining an alternate navigation plan until the user-specified criteria are met; and responsive to the criteria being met, presenting the navigation plan to the user for laying into a navigation system, and optionally during execution of the navigation plan updating the received human emotion metrics; repeating the determination against the user-specified criteria; and repeating the steps of determining an alternate navigation plan and presentation to a user responsive to the updated human emotion metrics not meeting the user-specified criteria.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul B. French, Eric Thiebaut-George, Niall Jude Lucey, Edith Helen Stern, Michael Truss

Publication number: 20120140680Abstract: Alerting a calling party in a Voice over IP (VoIP) setting that a called party might not be able to hear ring-tones. In response to a call arriving on an IP connection, the audible level of ring-tones that are generated by a microphone associated with a VoIP computer application is sampled, and responsive to the audible level of ring-tones being below a minimum threshold, a message is transmitting to the calling party via any available connection that the called party might be unable to hear the ring-tones.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES COMPANYInventors: Paul Basil French, Fred Raguillat, Eric Thiebaut-George

Publication number: 20120066558Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system for network fault management in busy periods. When a fault occurs in a network it can be difficult to understand the relevant network conditions at the moment of the fault because of the large numbers of factors that are involved. The solution presented is a method and system for managing a data processing network, wherein the network comprises a set of connected network devices and at least one network device generates an event record containing an identity of the generating network device and a timestamp indicating when the event was generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: William Duchenay, Thierry P.
