The sequence data in the cloud computing environment may be shared according to permissions. Further, the sequence data may be modified or annotated by authorized secondary users.

Abstract: A monitor-mine-manage cycle is described, for example, for managing a data center, a manufacturing process, an engineering process or other processes. In various example, the following steps are performed as a continuous automated loop: receiving raw events from an observed system; monitoring the raw events and transforming them into complex events; mining the complex events and reasoning on results; making a set of proposed actions based on the mining; and managing the observed system by applying one or more of the proposed actions to the system. In various examples, the continuous automated loop proceeds while raw events are continuously received from the observed system and monitored. In some examples an application programming interface is described comprising programming statements which allow a user to implement a monitor-mine-manage loop.
