Publication number: 20220035692Abstract: An approach to recommending corrective action to computing system event errors. The approach may include generating a textual description of an event error. The approach may include transforming the textual description into feature vectors with a domain-specific word embedding module. The approach may also include generating a recommendation to correct the event error based on an analysis of the feature vectors. Additionally, the recommendation may be presented for verification.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Qing Wang, Larisa Shwartz, Jinho Hwang, Srinivasan Parthasarathy, Michael Elton Nidd, Frank Bagehorn, Jakub Krchák, Tomás Ondrej, Altynbek Orumbayev, Michal Mýlek, Ota Sandr

Publication number: 20220027331Abstract: A computer-implemented method of cross-environment event correlation includes determining one or more correlated events about an issue across a plurality of domains. A knowledge data is extracted from the issue determined from the one or more correlated events is performed. A correlation graph is generated from the extracted knowledge to trace the issue and group the correlated events into one or more event groups to represent their relationship with the issue. A logical reasoning description is constructed based on the generated correlation graph for a domain-space exploration related to how the issue in one domain affects another domain of the plurality of domains. The one or more event groups of correlated events is provided with an explanation about a cause of the issue based on the logical reasoning description.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2020Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Jinho Hwang, Larisa Shwartz, Srinivasan Parthasarathy, Qing Wang, Raghuram Srinivasan, Gene L.

Publication number: 20210133622Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for processing events. The method provides a database comprising original event objects stored in association with canonical event objects. The method executes a learning algorithm on the associated original and canonical event objects for generating a trained ML program adapted to transform an original event object of any one of the one or more original data formats into a canonical event object having the canonical data format and uses the trained machine learning program for automatically transforming original event objects generated by an active IT-monitoring system into canonical event objects processable by an event handling system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2019Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: Michael Elton Nidd, Hagen Völzer, Sander Plug, Larisa Shwartz

Publication number: 20210027136Abstract: Techniques that facilitate feedback loop learning between artificial intelligence systems are provided. In one example, a system includes a monitoring component and a machine learning component. The monitoring component identifies a data pattern associated with data for an artificial intelligence system. The machine learning component compares the data pattern to historical data patterns for the artificial intelligence system to facilitate modification of at least a component of the artificial intelligence system and/or one or more dependent systems of the artificial intelligence system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2019Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Jinho Hwang, Larisa Shwartz, Hagen Völzer, Michael Elton Nidd, Rodrigo Otavio Castrillon

Publication number: 20190356631Abstract: Various embodiments manage the migration of servers. In one embodiment, a set of server-level dependency information is obtained for servers to be migrated from a source computing environment to a target computing environment. A set of network configuration data is obtained for a plurality of network devices associated with the servers. The set of server-level dependency information is updated to include one or more additional dependencies of at least one of the servers based on the set of network configuration data. Updating the set of server-level dependency information generates an updated set of dependency information. The servers are assigned to multiple migration groups based on the updated set of dependency information. The migration groups optimize cross-group dependencies among the migration groups.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventors: Joel W. BRANCH, Michael Elton NIDD, Birgit Monika PFITZMANN

Patent number: 8769618Abstract: A method for authorizing access to a first computing device is provided. The method comprises the first computing device forming a challenge, encoding the challenge into a symbol, and displaying the symbol. The first computing device receives a request for access from a user. Access to the first computing device is allowed in response to provision of an access code to the first computing device by the user. The access code is formed by a server in response to capturing the symbol, decoding the symbol into the challenge, forming a request from the challenge, and providing the request to the server. The server forms a decision to allow access by the user to the first computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dirk Husemann, Michael Elton Nidd

Patent number: 6961560Abstract: Methods, system and apparatus are provided for advertising service offerings in a communication system. An example embodiment comprises at least one device. A first device broadcasts a message of a first type, chooses a value for a time limit and listens for a message sent by a second device. If no message has been received before time limit, elapse, it again broadcasts a message of a first type. Otherwise, the message received from said second device is analyzed and if said message includes valid information about said first device chooses a value for the time limit. However, if said message received does not include valid service description about said first device, a message of a second type is broadcast. This reduces useless broadcast of a complete service list. Broadcast may be initiated more often and, service discovery for new devices coming into proximity takes less time.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2002Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Reto Hermann, Dirk Husemann, Michael Moser, Michael Elton Nidd
