Patent number: 10372473Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for virtualizing physical sensors and providing sensor data to a requestor using the virtualized physical sensors. The mechanisms obtain sensor data from a plurality of physical sensors and storing the sensor data in a virtual sensor storage system of the data processing system in at least one standardized format. A request from a requestor for a first type of sensor data is received which does not specify a particular physical sensor. A portion of the sensor data stored in the virtual sensor storage system is retrieved in response to receiving the request, the portion of sensor data corresponding to the type of sensor data requested in the request from the requestor. The retrieved portion of the sensor data is returned to the requestor in a format corresponding to a physical sensor configured to provide the requested type of sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marion L. Blount, Metin Feridun, Suzanne K. McIntosh, Iqbal I. Mohomed, Michael E. Nidd, Axel Tanner, Bo Yang

In one aspect, a method for allocating computing resources in a datacenter cluster is provided. The method includes the steps of: creating multiple, parallel schedulers; and automatically selecting a resource allocation method for each of the schedulers based on one or more of a workload profile, user requirements, and a state of the datacenter cluster, wherein an optimistic resource allocation method is selected for at least a first one or more of the schedulers and a pessimistic resource allocation method is selected for at least a second one or more of the schedulers. Due to optimistic resource allocation conflicts may arise. Methods to resolve such conflicts are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marcelo Amaral, Yurdaer N.

Patent number: 9575477Abstract: A sensor is installed in a building management system by determining a sensor type of the sensor from among a plurality of supported sensor types based on information collected by a mobile device of a user; identifying configuration information required by the building management system for the determined sensor type; obtaining the required configuration information from the user using an interface on the mobile device, wherein at least a portion of the interface is generated to accommodate one or more requirements of the building management system with respect to the determined sensor type; and providing the obtained required configuration information to the building management system. The sensor type and unique identifier of the sensor can be automatically determined. Portions of the required configuration information for the determined sensor type can be automatically populated using default information for the determined sensor type.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marion L.

Patent number: 8913850Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for determining the physical location of a physical asset in a physical area. A plurality of physical assets are controlled to cause each physical asset to output a visual output pattern on visual output elements of the physical asset. An image of a target physical asset is captured that has the current state of the visual output elements. An identification of the target physical asset is determined based on the current state of the visual output elements. A physical location of the target physical asset is determined based on a physical location of the image capture device when the image was captured. Location data identifying the determined physical location of the target physical asset is stored in an asset database in association with configuration information for the physical asset.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert J. Calio, Jonathan H. Connell, II, Michael J. Frissora, Canturk Isci, Jeffrey O. Kephart, Jonathan Lenchner, Suzanne K. McIntosh, Iqbal I. Mohomed, John C. Nelson, James W. Thoensen

Patent number: 8775573Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for localized adaptation of client devices based on correlation or learning at a remote server. For example, a method for modifying a behavior of a client device in a data collection system, wherein the client device collects data and transmits data to a server, includes the following steps. The client device transmits data to the server. The server uses at least a portion of the data received from the client device to generate information that represents a modification to a behavior of the client device. The server device transmits the generated information to the client device. The client device subsequently alters the behavior of the client device based on the information received from the server.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2008Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporarionInventors: Maria Rene Ebling, William Francis Jerome, Archan Misra, Iqbal I.
