  • Patent number: 11663480
    Abstract: An autonomic function executing in an artificial intelligence environment determines that a fused model responsive to a new problem space has below a threshold level of accuracy in the new problem space. A spliced layer in the fused model is autonomically cloned, the spliced layer having been extracted from a second model and inserted at a location in the fused model. The cloned layer is autonomically inserted at a second location in the fused model. An automatically constructed vector transformation transforms an output vector of a previous layer in an immediately previous location in the model relative to the second location. The cloned layer is automatically fused in the fused model using the transformed output vector as input to the cloned layer, forming a deep fused model that has a revised accuracy that is higher than the accuracy relative to an ontology of the new problem space.

  • Patent number: 11455540
    Abstract: An autonomic function is caused to execute in an artificial intelligence environment to detect a new problem space. Using the autonomic function, a first model is selected. The first model includes a first trained neural network corresponding to a first ontology. A second model is automatically identified. the second model includes a second trained neural network corresponding to a second ontology. A layer is autonomically extracted from the second model and inserted into a location in the first model. A vector transformation is automatically constructed to transform an output vector of a previous layer in an immediately previous location in the model relative to the location. The layer is automatically fused in the first model using the transformed output vector as input to the layer, the fusing forming a fused model that is operable on an ontology of the new problem space.

  • Patent number: 8381221
    Abstract: Method, computer program products and systems for conserving energy in data processing center, wherein a plurality of services are offered to a plurality of subscribed service consumers in a dynamic fashion, allowing a created service instance to be re-assigned from one to another server of the resources. Control parameters comprising power consumption and temperature of a group of resources are monitored. A workload may be assigned properties such as “hot” and “cold.” which are then assessed. A hot workload may be relocated to a cold spot, and if necessary, a cold workload may be relocated to a location which was de-loaded from a workload, that is, a hot spot, which is then considered to cool down due to addition of less workload in form of the cold workload. Thus, the energy required to cool the data center may be minimized.

The method comprises provisioning of a first manageable resource in order to provide the on-demand service to the subscriber, the first manageable resource being associated with at least a first underlying resource, the first underlying resource comprising a first collector for collecting first usage data of the first underlying resource while the on-demand service is provided. Further, a first metering component is instantiated for the first manageable resource and the first metering component is instructed to initiate the retrieval of the first usage data from the first collector prior to the termination of the first metering component and the de-provisioning of the first manageable resource. Additionally, the retrieved first usage data is stored for further evaluation.

  • Patent number: 8200749
    Abstract: A data processing method is disclosed. The data processing method comprises the step of receiving a request for a service interface description of a service from a client at a server, wherein the service is implemented via a first service endpoint at the server, and wherein the first service endpoint is associated with a first service endpoint interface description. In a further step, a given set of correlations is employed for the determination of service endpoints correlated with the first service endpoint with respect to the service, wherein each of the correlated service endpoints is associated with a service endpoint interface description. Furthermore the service interface description is generated by aggregating the first service endpoint interface description with the service endpoint interface descriptions of the correlated service endpoints and the service interface description is provided to the client.

  • Publication number: 20120140696
    Abstract: Connection ID (CID) assignment in multi-hop relay system can be used to perform routing. Using CID assignment as routing information in a multi-hop wireless relay system to maintain the routing structure is disclosed. In a CID cache scheme, a base station builds a CID cache based on the upstream packet and broadcasts the CID cache to a relay station. The CID cache comprises CIDs along with routing information. Based on CID cache the spanning tree of the routing can be reconstructed. A hierarchical CID assignment is disclosed wherein a base station assigns a range of CIDs to a relay station. A relay station can recognize its data packets and forward them to corresponding mobile stations. Maintaining routing automatically along with CID assignment is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8196138
    Abstract: A method for migrating virtual machines between hypervisors is disclosed. Initially, metadata describing a virtual machine are automatically scanned and parsed. The structure of the metadata of a source virtual machine are automatically analyzed. Elements of this structure are mapped to corresponding entries of a target virtual machine. A target metadata descriptor to be used as part of the target virtual machine is generated. A predefined layout description of the data stored in a file system image of the source virtual machine read. A predefined layout description of the data to be stored in a file system image to be used at the target virtual machine is also read. The data are extracted from the source virtual machine. A template of a file system image for the target virtual system is generated. Storage space corresponding to the target virtual machine is allocated, and the extracted data are inserted into the allocated storage space.
