Patent number: 9619376Abstract: A deviance monitoring module is provided for examining various parameters of an operating system for deviance from a baseline behavior at specified intervals. A range of acceptable deviance values from a baseline behavior is set for parameters of an operating system. The parameters of the operating system are then monitored at specified intervals for deviance from the baseline behavior. In response to detecting that the deviance exceeds a predetermined threshold, the method triggers diagnostic data gathering on the parameters of the operating system according to an embodiment.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Arthur J. Bariska, Jr., Matthew T. Cousens, Eileen S. Kovalchick, Joel L. Masser, Kevin D. McKenzie, Eileen P. Tedesco

Patent number: 8892952Abstract: A method for testing using a preserve status parameter in a computing system includes setting, by a calling process in the computing system, the preserve status parameter; issuing a call to a function under test by the calling process in the computing system; executing the function under test in the computing system, wherein data in a memory area accessed by the function under test during execution is preserved by the set preserve status parameter, such that the computing system does not reuse the memory area while the data in the memory area is being preserved; determining if an error occurred during execution of the function under test; in the event an error is determined to have occurred during execution of the function under test, making the data in the memory area available for inspection; and releasing the memory area for reuse by the computing system.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eugenie L.

Publication number: 20140019854Abstract: A system, method and program product for receiving feedback about a document from one or more reviewers includes a step of a computer receives feedback about a document, responsive to input from the one or more reviewers into a user interface. The computer stores the feedback about the document. The computer transmits a notification to an owner of the document that the feedback has been received and stored. Responsive to receiving a request from the owner, the computer opens the document and displays the document with the feedback received. Responsive to input from the owner, the computer changes the document and saves a new version of the document.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Eugenie L.

Publication number: 20130036061Abstract: An approach to providing relevant product safety information. Product recall information is aggregated from Internet sources into a database of product recall information. Product identification is gathered from products in the consumer's possession. The product identification may be gathered by having a computing device communicate with the products and store the product information in a data structure such as a table in a database. The product identification for the products is compared with the product recall information, and the consumer is notified of product recall information that is associated with one or more of the products. A computer implementing the system may cause the products themselves to notify the consumer. The consumer may also be notified by text message or email. The consumer may also set a sensitivity indicator that specifies conditions to be met before the consumer receives a notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2011Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Eugenie L.
