Abstract: A provenance method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for a plurality of eidetic systems having logs, include crawling the logs of each node of a plurality of nodes of the eidetic systems to cluster segments across the logs of temporally correlated events into clustered segments and analyzing the correlated segments to interleave an order of processes in the logs and assign a probability to the order of the processes occurring.

Abstract: A method for targeted advertisement includes transmitting a pre-filter to the user device, responsive to contextual information from a user device, to determine, using a processor, one or more inferences based on physical browsing information, collected at the user device, in compliance with one or more privacy policies of the user. The method also includes receiving one or more inferences determined by the pre-filter from the user device and transmitting one or more targeted advertisements to the user device based on one or more inferences.

Abstract: A data mining method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include defining a set of filter constraints as a filter function for clustering users' private records of data of a private domain, selecting a subset of users' public records of data from a filtered set of data from a public domain that is common with the users' private records of data, and creating a data file including the matched user of the private domain to the public records of the user of the private domain, where the set of the filter constraints comprises a function that captures the subset of the users' public records of data who are of interest to the private domain, and only performs data mining with that set of information from the public domain.

Abstract: A data mining method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium include obtaining a subset of public records of data in a public domain and performing data mining, via private domain data, within the subset of the public records of data to find data in the public domain corresponding to a particular individual.

Abstract: A computing system for learning a device type and message formats used by a device is provided. The computing system includes an interface and a processor. The interface is receptive of documents describing identification information and communication and application protocols of devices. The processor is coupled with the interface to obtain rules of network packet analysis using document analytics and identify identification information and communication and application protocols of network messages from devices using the rules.

Abstract: Methods and systems for targeted advertisement include transmitting a pre-filter to a user device, responsive to contextual information supplied by the user device to determine one or more inferences based on physical browsing information, collected at the user device, in compliance with one or more privacy policies of the user. One or more targeted advertisements are determined, using a processor, based on the one or more inferences. The one or more targeted advertisements are transmitted to the user device.

Abstract: Techniques for monitoring and managing applications in an environment with distributed administrative domains (such as a micro-cloud environment) are provided. In one aspect, a method for managing an application in an environment with distributed administrative domains includes the steps of: identifying points in a life cycle of the application where communication is allowed between the distributed administrative domains; obtaining, by the provider, management specific information for the application at the points identified in the life cycle of the application where communication is allowed between the distributed administrative domains, wherein the obtaining is performed using a filtering script provided by the user and a management script provided by the provider to validate that the management specific information conforms to a predetermined information exchange criteria; and performing management functions using the management specific information.

Abstract: Techniques for adaptive query targeting in a dynamic distributed computing environment are provided. In one aspect, a method for adaptive query targeting in a distributed computing system having two or more cooperating nodes is provided. The method includes the steps of: using a peer selection criteria to select one or more of the nodes as target peers for a query from a querying node; leasing the query to the target peers for a given length of time via a lease having a given lifetime; periodically refreshing the query during the lifetime of the lease by re-evaluating the peer selection criteria such that the query persists on one or more of the target peers for the lifetime of the lease; and having the query removed from the target peers when the lease expires.

Abstract: A method for executing a query includes determining one or more nodes that are likely to have local content that matches a search query. The determination is based on a location profile for each of the one or more nodes and a conditional probabilistic model for each of a set of distinct locations. The search query is executed at the one or more nodes.
