Abstract: Collectively predicting input operations for plural operation object items (subwindows) belonging to a same window. A proposal window PG stores in a statistics information database and manages information about the input entity and an operation object of an input operation accepted from a user, and a window to which the operation object belongs, along with transition information indicating the transition of active windows concerned in previous input operations. When an active window transitions because of an input operation accepted from the user, it searches the statistics information database for information that contains information about a new active window and is associated with transition information matching the transition of active windows concerned in previous input operations.

Abstract: A computer system comprising a plurality of first computers each operated by an operator and a second computer coupled via a network to the plurality of first computers. Each of the plurality of first computers executes at least one software, obtains operation information by the operator with respect to the at least one software to be executed, receives an input of information from the operator, displays a confirm window for the operator to check whether the received input information is correct or not, calculates operation time period about the displayed confirm window based on the obtained operation information; and sends the calculated operation time period about the confirm window to the second computer. The second computer receives the operation time period about the confirm window, and calculates the number of operations of which the received operation time period about the confirm window is shorter than a first threshold value.

Abstract: In a 3-dimensional fast Fourier transformation implemented by using a parallel-processing computer, an overhead caused by transfers of data between processors employed in the computer is reduced for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of processing parallelism. In order to reduce the overhead, data is divided into data elements each having an even X coordinate and data elements each having an odd X coordinate. In processing 34, the date elements each having an even coordinate are subjected to the transformation in the Y direction while the date elements each having an odd X coordinate are being subjected to a process of permutation among the processors at the same time. In processing 35, on the other hand, the data elements each having an odd X coordinate are subjected to the transformation in the X direction while the data elements each having even coordinate are being subjected to the process of permutation among the processors at the same time.

A time series pattern generating system analyzes the history information of an instance generated upon each execution of a class that defines a series of processes and is constituted by components having a defined order, and generates a time series pattern. The history information is generated upon each execution of the components, stored in chronological order, and includes a class identifier, a component identifier, an instance identifier, and component processing time information. Information relating to the processing order of the components that are executed in each instance is created, dependence relationships between the components are estimated, and a time series pattern including a component processing order is generated.

Abstract: When a parameter for a numerical computation library is required, an optimum parameter reflecting a user policy is provided. A program calculates, based on a preset objective function, an optimum tuning parameter for executing a numerical computation library. The program reads the numerical computation library; reads the objective function; sets a user policy regarding speed performance and computational accuracy of the numerical computation library as plural policy parameters; reads, from preset execution histories of numerical computation libraries, execution histories of the numerical computation library; calculates, in a domain where the policy parameters are met and based on the execution histories having been read in, a tuning parameter for the numerical computation library by using the objective function; and outputs a calculation result of the objective function.

In a method for determining allocation of IT resources of an IT system shared by divisional operations of an organization based on management resources allocation among divisions in the organization, the method comprises a first and a second steps of resource allocation. In the first step, management resource allocation for each of the divisional operations is determined so as to optimize a value of an operational objective based on the assumption that IT resource allocation is equal among the divisional operations and based on the management resource allocation among the divisions of the organization. In the second step, IT resource allocation for each of the divisional operations is determined so as to optimize the operational objective value based on the management resource allocation for each of the divisional operations determined in the first step.

Abstract: Provided is a method of measuring the effect of investment in an IT system by calculating the correlation between data on profit derived from an IT system. Various time-series data collected from a business system are classified into a profit indicator (104), a business process progress status indicator (105), and a system operation status indicator (106), and the correlation between those data is found. From the correlation, a contribution ratio indicative of the influence of the IT system operation status on the profit is calculated, and the effect of investment in the IT system is measured based on this contribution ratio.

Abstract: There is provided a method which can check whether or not internal data for operational risk evaluation of a business organization is collected from all computers in the business organization. In application execution servers, one or more agent for collecting loss events occurring in the computers is arranged. One or more network monitoring server connected to a network of the business organization is arranged. The network monitoring server monitors the network. When the application execution servers include a computer having no agent, the network monitoring server adds the presence of the computer having no agent to a monitoring log to make it possible to check whether the agents for collecting internal data is arranged in all computers for executing an application in the business organization. Therefore, an operational risk can be faithfully evaluated.

Abstract: By using the wavelet method and the inverse Mallat transform of the wavelet theory, frequency analysis of large scale time series data is carried out at high speed while effectively utilizing the hardware of a parallel computer of distributed memory type. To be concrete, on the parallel computer of distributed memory type, data to be analyzed, a scaling function, and a Daubechies's progression are inputted to individual memories. Highest order frequency component parallel numerical integral operation is conducted to derive a frequency component of the highest order to be analyzed. Series low frequency component analyzing using the inverse Mallat transform is conducted to effect frequency analysis other than the highest frequency by using the inverse Mallat transform of the wavelet theory. Frequency data combining is conducted to put together frequencies derived by respective processors in an external memory.
