Patent number: 9860336Abstract: An approach to downloading content to a mobile device based on predicted service disruptions to avoid a loss of access to content. The service disruptions to wireless network connectivity can occur due to network dead spots, such as those occurring on a highway, in a tunnel, under a bridge or in a building. Embodiments monitor current and historical mobile device usage and historical wireless service data to form a history and generate a predictive model that makes predictions regarding anticipated dead spots and the types and quantity of content that will be requested during the dead spots. Decisions based on the predictive model can be made automatically by embodiments, such as when to start downloading content prior to entering a dead spot and how much content and what types of content will be downloaded based on predicted user requests.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Geetika T. Lakshmanan, Dana L. Price, Shelbee D. Smith-Eigenbrode

Patent number: 9798766Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for suggesting uniform resource locators located at previously unknown hosts to users. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to record uniform resource locators (URLs) associated with web resources accessed by a user and usage details pertaining to the user's usage of the web resources. Responsive to receiving a request to access a hostname not stored in the recorded URLs, embodiments of the present invention can be used to receive URLs associated with web resources available at the hostname and assign weight values to the received URLs based, at least in part, on the usage details and a similarity between the received URLs and the recorded URLs. Embodiments of the present invention can then be used to generate a URL suggestion from the received URLs based, at least in part, on the assigned weight values.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Geetika T.

Patent number: 9736199Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method of developing a workflow. The method includes receiving a proposed workflow component at a local computing device of a workflow development system. The workflow development system generates a simulation stub derived from historical workflow execution logs that are relevant to the proposed workflow component. The workflow development system executes the simulation stub, which is an approximation of the proposed workflow component.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Rong N.
