  • Patent number: 9235440
    Abstract: This disclosure describes monitoring the execution of jobs in a work plan. In an embodiment, a system maintains a risk level associated with the critical job to represent whether the execution of a job preceding the critical job has a problem, and it maintains the list associated with the critical job so as to quickly identify the preceding job which may cause a delay to the critical job execution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2016
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Marco Cardelli, Pietro Lannucci, Valeria Perticara, Randa Salem

  • Patent number: 8713579
    Abstract: Various embodiments involve monitoring the execution of jobs in a work plan. For example, a system maintains a risk level associated with the critical job may be maintained to represent whether the execution of a job preceding the critical job has a problem, and a list associated with the critical job may be maintained so as to quickly identify the preceding job which may cause a delay to the critical job execution.

  • Patent number: 8266622
    Abstract: A method is presented for dynamically selecting and updating a critical execution path. The method may include receiving a network of jobs for execution. One or more critical jobs may be included in the network of jobs. A job causing a delay in the execution of the network of jobs may be detected, where the job precedes the critical job. A critical path in the network of jobs may then be determined as a function of the job causing a delay. Determination of the critical path may be further based on a slack time associated with jobs in the network that have planned execution times preceding a planned execution time for the critical job.

  • Publication number: 20100285032
    Abstract: ERR? is expressed in bone and cartilage in vivo and osteoblastic and chondrocytic cells in vitro. ERR? is a transcriptional activator of an osteoblast-associated osteopontin (OPN) and chondrocyte-associated (Sox9) gene in osteoblasts and chondrocytes respectively. Knockdown of ERR? expression by antisense oligonucleotide strategies in osteoblastic cell cultures reduces alkaline phosphatase activity. Together these findings indicate that ERR? is expressed in and plays a functional role in bone and cartilage. The results also indicate that agonists and antagonists of ERR? may be useful as therapeutic agents in a wide variety of diseases affecting bones and joints.
