Patent number: 11188882Abstract: A system and method for scheduling a business process including tasks, comprises a calculation unit, a determination unit, and a decision unit. The calculation unit is configured to calculate an estimated processing time required to execute the tasks. The determination unit is configured to calculate an estimated end time of a route including the tasks on the basis of the estimated processing time and schedule of a user to execute the tasks, and determine whether to apply speculative execution to the business process on the basis of the estimated end time. The decision unit is configured to decide to speculatively execute a task out of the tasks in the business process. The decision is made with reference to a remaining period for executing the task. The remaining period is calculated on the basis of a predicted execution timing of each task and a deadline of the business process.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mari A.

Patent number: 11120460Abstract: One embodiment provides a method comprising receiving historic peer deals relating to at least one service, and a baseline and cost percentage estimation for each service. Historic peer cost data for each service is clustered to form at least one cluster. Each cluster includes similar unit costs, and has an assigned label. A classification model is trained based on each baseline received, each cost percentage estimation received, and each assigned label. For each assigned label, a corresponding probability distribution is computed based on the classification model. For each service of a new client solution, an assigned label for the service is predicted based on the classification model, and, based on a probability distribution corresponding to the assigned label predicted, transforming an initial range of historic peer cost data relating to the service into a narrower range for use in estimating a cost of the service with improved accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mari A.

Patent number: 11062063Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for generation of vehicle travel data. Past-travel data including previously taken trips, along with metadata including, but not limited to, vehicle type, vehicle model, navigation device model, are obtained and classified. A travel route for simulation data is selected. Data from various previous trips are combined to create a simulation data set for the travel route. This data is based on actual vehicle data. This can enable a new level of accuracy for data analysis and simulations based on this data as compared with purely simulated data. Actual vehicle data accounts for driver behavior, road obstacles, signage, vegetation, vehicle characteristics, and other factors that may not be able to be captured with purely simulated traffic data. Using the data generated by disclosed embodiments enables these factors to be considered in traffic analysis.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shoichiro Watanabe, Mari A. Fukuda, Yasutaka Nishimura, Asuka Unno, Satoshi Hosokawa

Patent number: 10255611Abstract: A hardware computer-implemented method is provided for pricing a current contract for bid that includes generating a tree of the current contract, and generating trees of historical contracts. The contracts each specify respective services. The method includes grouping the trees of historical contracts to form a plurality of groups of trees, based on respective tree distances between the trees in each group. The method includes identifying a group of trees, from the plurality of groups, that is closest to the tree of the current contract by calculating respective distances there between. The method includes calculating a price for the current contract based on gross profits and costs for each service in the identified group. The grouping, identifying, and calculating steps each use different methods, responsive to a service (a) having a baseline; and (b) lacking the baseline, wherein the baseline is a value that indicates a scale of the service.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mari A.
