Abstract: A computing system for determining a user intent from a speech input to effect a user intended action is provided. The computer system comprises a set of processing nodes and a controller module. Each processing node is capable of understanding only a subset of words directly relevant to a particular context. The processing nodes of the set are arranged to receive a same speech input, and each processing node attempts to interpret the input, based on its subset of words, to extract therefrom an output indicative of user intent. Each node is unable to interpret any portion of the input containing a word outside of its subset. The controller module receives the outputs from the set of processing nodes and determine a most likely user intent based on the outputs.

Abstract: A computer determines a first plurality of servers which have a lease set to expire within a predetermined period or current or projected peak utilization greater than a predetermined percentage of their capacity. The computer determines a second plurality of servers which have sufficient lease term and excess capacity. The computer determines and records which servers of the first plurality to consolidate on servers of the second plurality based on sufficient capacity, match of application(s) and projected life span of the application(s) of the second plurality, and determines a schedule for retiring the servers of the first plurality with the applications having insufficient projected lifespan, and estimates cost savings for the consolidation.
