Abstract: A controller and method for controlling objects states in a complex system. A change in state of at least one first object in the system is detected. A first modifying action to the at least one first object in response to the detected change in state is determined, and output to be applied to the at least one first object. A change in state of at least one second object from the plurality of system objects different from the at least one first object is detected, where the change in state of the at least one second object is a result of the first modifying action being applied to the at least one first object. A second modifying action is determined and output to be applied to the system to improve system performance according to the performance metric after the first modifying action is applied.

Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method is described to propose a method to automatically suggest a visualization providing the best insight for a given dataset, by maximizing an utility function computed on properties of the input data, and previously used visualizations by the same user and for the same data. In one example method for recommending a data visualization in a computer system includes receiving at least one input dataset and at least one set of previous visualizations. A utility function is accessed. A set of potential visualizations is computed using the input dataset and the set of previous visualizations. A recommendation is selected for a proposed visualization from the set of potential visualizations by maximizing a value of the utility function, whereby the proposed visualization is a new visualization not in the set of previous visualizations.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for extracting subgraphs from a multigraph with approximation. The mechanism receives a multigraph and a relevance function and a pattern generation component executing within the data processing system searches the multigraph for occurrences of at least one pattern based on an approximation function. A relevance computation component executing within the data processing system determines a relevance measure for the multigraph based on the relevance function and the occurrences of the at least one pattern. The mechanism provides output of relevant patterns based on the occurrences of the at least one pattern.

A graph that represents an evolutionary network is mined to identify evolutional patterns of the network, and graph evolution rules are generated using identified evolutional patterns. The generated graph evolution rules represent the evolutional patterns of the network.

Abstract: A network's evolution is characterized by graph evolution rules. A graph, formed by merging multiple graphs representing the multiple snapshots of the network, that represents an evolutionary network is mined to identify evolutional patterns of the network. A pattern is selected from the identified patterns. Graph evolution rules are generated using identified evolutional patterns. The generated graph evolution rules represent the evolutional patterns of the network, the rules indicating that any occurrence of a child pattern of the selected pattern implies a corresponding occurrence of the selected pattern.
