Abstract: Techniques for context-based keyword grouping for business rule mining are described herein. An aspect includes determining, based on a first corpus, a first list of keywords. Another aspect includes constructing a co-occurrence matrix based on the first list of keywords. Another aspect includes applying a clustering algorithm to the co-occurrence matrix to determine a first plurality of keyword groups. Another aspect includes presenting the first plurality of keyword groups to a user via a user interface.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods, systems, and computer program products for root cause analysis. Aspects of the invention include receiving, by a processor, operations data associated with a plurality of applications. A trend analysis is performed on the operations data to determine an operations issue associated with at least one of the plurality of applications. And a root-cause analysis is performed on the operations issue to identify a set of candidate applications from the plurality of applications that may be a cause of the operations issue.

Abstract: A text representation of a number is converted into a numeric representation of the number by converting the text representation of the number into a description of the number's format; mapping the description of the number's format to a sequence of conversion code; and converting the text representation of the number into the numeric representation of the number by use of the sequence of conversion code. Preferably, the description of the number's format is a picture string; the text representation of the number is converted into a description of the number's format by a translation instruction using a translate table; and the sequence of conversion code for converting the text representation of the number into the numeric representation of the number comprises an assignment statement.
