Abstract: A material failure forecasting system accesses historical failure data to forecasts future failures. The failure data of a material is analyzed using text processing techniques to identify failures and suspensions. The text processing techniques provide for identifying failures when fault words are associated with negations. A fault ontology establishes different failure modes that include primary, secondary and tertiary levels which enable identifying a sequence of failures. The failures thus identified are fitted to a data distribution selected from a plurality of data distributions. The parameters from the data distribution are used for simulating a demand profile for the material which considers interchangeability. Similarly failure data of the materials in an equipment can be analyzed and the reliability of the equipment can be estimated.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing secure access to an email server. A gateway server can receive a request for email notification information from a notification server and parse the request to identify at least one user device associated with the request. The gateway server can then determine whether the identified devices comply with any applicable compliance rules, for example by requesting a compliance status from a management server at which the identified devices are enrolled. If at least one of the identified devices is in compliance, the gateway can pass the request through to the email server. The gateway can then receive a response from the email server and provide it to the notification server.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments for providing management of activities of a project plan associated with a computer application are described. In one embodiment, a calendar view of an activity is edited to change a number of calendar time units over which the activity is to be performed. In response to updating the calendar view of the activity, resource data structures are updated for multiple resources assigned to the activity. The resource data structures are updated to reflect the change in the number of calendar time units for each assigned resource. For each assigned resource, the number of calendar time units corresponds to a period of time for which the resource is assigned to the activity.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that are configured to automatically complete the generation of task structures in a project plan. In one embodiment, user data is generated by monitoring interactions of a user with a computer user interface when forming a task structure in a project plan. The user data is compared to learned behavior data. The learned behavior data represents reusable patterns derived from information associated with user creation of previous task structures. If, based on the comparison, the user data matches a reusable pattern of the learned behavior data, a prompt is displayed to the user indicating an option to accept or reject automated completion of the task structure. In response to receiving an acceptance from the user, the forming of the task structure is automatically completed in the project plan based on the matching reusable pattern.
