  • Patent number: 8051421
    Abstract: A method and system are described for estimating resource provisioning. An example method may include obtaining a workflow path including an external invocation node and respective groups of service nodes, node connectors, and hardware nodes, and including a directed ordered path indicating ordering of a flow of execution of services associated with the service nodes, from the external invocation node, to a hardware node, determining an indicator of a service node workload based on attribute values associated with a service node and an indicator of a propagated workload based on combining attribute values associated with the external invocation node and other service nodes or node connectors preceding the service node in the workflow path based on the ordering, and provisioning the service node onto a hardware node based on combining the indicator of the service node workload and an indicator of a current resource demand associated with the hardware node.

  • Patent number: 7619991
    Abstract: User interfaces are described for modeling estimations of resource provisioning. An example user interface may request a display of graphical indicators associated with nodes and edges, request a determination of an indicator of a service node workload associated with a service node included in a workflow path based on attribute values associated with the service node and an indicator of a propagated workload, and request provisioning of service nodes onto hardware nodes. The nodes may include external invocation nodes, service nodes, and hardware nodes, and the edges may include node connectors. An indication of an arrangement of an external invocation node, a group of service nodes, a group of node connectors, and a group of hardware nodes may be received, wherein the arrangement may be configured by a user interacting with the displayed graphical indicators, and may represent a workflow path.

  • Publication number: 20050167581
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mass spectrometry dynamic library searching are provided for use with mass spectrometer spectra. A composite spectrum is created from multiple spectra. The multiple spectra are collected at varying collision energies from a mass spectrometer. Dynamic searching algorithms are utilized for assigning a degree of importance to ions depending upon the identity of the ions, and for assigning a degree of importance to the ion ratios. A search is performed against a library of composite spectra that includes data for adduct, dimer, and oligomer ions. The systems and methods determine a match quality value that takes into account any or all ions in the spectrum along with the ions' ratios and degrees of importance.
