Abstract: A wind power generation system includes one or both of a memory or storage device storing one or more processor-executable executable routines, and one or more processors configured to execute the one or more executable routines which, when executed, cause acts to be performed. The acts include receiving weather data, wind turbine system data, or a combination thereof; transforming the weather data, the wind turbine system data, or the combination thereof, into a data subset, wherein the data subset comprises a first time period data; selecting one or more wind power system models from a plurality of models; transforming the one or more wind power system models into one or more trained models at least partially based on the data subset; and executing the one or more trained models to derive a forecast, wherein the forecast comprises a predicted electrical power production for the wind power system.

Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying unhealthy nodes in a multi-node system. One or more parameters of each node is monitored, then compared with the values for the same parameter running on other nodes in the multi-node system. Based on the comparison, a determination is made whether a node is healthy. If the multi-node system comprises one or more nodes with differing capabilities, an adjustment is performed to account for the differing capabilities of each respective node. Further provided are methods of taking remedial action upon a determination that a node is unhealthy. A tuner is used to modify values of health parameters until the node is performing similarly to its peers.

Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a system and a method for allocating task on crowdsourcing platform. A task may be received from a first user on the platform. Further, a protocol may be configured by the first user indicating one or more task actions to be performed for completing the task. Further, a hierarchy comprising a plurality of micro-tasks associated with the task may be created. Based on the protocol configured, the system may assign a task action to each of the plurality of micro-tasks. Further, the system may allocate each of the plurality of micro-tasks to a second user based on the task action assigned and a set of parameters. The set of parameters may comprise second user's metadata, completion time associated with each micro-task, size of each micro-task, and form factor of an interface accessed by the second user.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for controlling a process on a computing node. In one implementation, a determination is made as to whether the participation status of a computing node has changed. The participation status may, for example, be active, in which case the computing node is participating in the processing of requests from a request handler, or it may be passive, in which case the computing node is not participating in the processing of requests from the request handler. In response to a determination that the participation status of the computing node has changed from a current status to a new status, one or more processes on the computing node may be caused to begin or halt processing, in accordance with the new status. For example, if the current status is passive and the new status is active, a process on the computing node may be caused to begin processing.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and systems for managing business objects data sources. A search query that includes multiple query terms is received. Each query term at least partially represents metadata associated with one of multiple business objects data sources that each stores multiple data items. Multiple search index documents are searched to identify one or more business objects data sources that are each associated with metadata at least partially represented by each query term. Multiple metadata tables are searched to identify metadata associated with each identified business objects data source. The identified business objects data sources are searched for data items that satisfy the identified metadata. Representations of the data items and the metadata are provided in response to receiving the search query.

Abstract: Device context-based user interface techniques are described. In one or more embodiments, a context is determined for a device based on a configuration of hardware associated with the device. When the configuration of hardware associated with the device changes, the context of the device may also change. Based on the determined context of the device, a user interface configuration may be selected for display. For example, when the device is connected to a mouse or a keyboard a user interface configuration may be selected that facilitates interactions performed substantially with a mouse and keyboard. However, when a mouse and keyboard are not connected to the device, but touch functionality of the device is used, a user interface configuration may be selected that facilitates interactions performed substantially using the touch functionality. A user interface for an application may be configured using the selected user interface configuration.

The multiple computer-searchable index documents and the multiple metadata tables are provided to perform a search for data items in the multiple business objects data sources.

Abstract: In a decoupled messaging system, a producer device sends produced messages to a message fabric. The message fabric either stores the received message in designated queues, from which consumer devices may retrieve the messages, or broadcasts the messages to consumer devices that subscribe to topics assigned to the messages. A message consumption orchestrator service gathers capabilities information for the message producer, the message fabric, and the message consumer, and configures resources allocated for the message consumer to more fully optimize message throughput. Further, the message consumption orchestrator identifies patterns in changes of the rate of produced messages, i.e., through analysis of historical data and/or received information. The message consumption orchestrator configures resources for the message consumer to account for predicted need based on the identified patterns.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling multi-service transactions. When a request to initiate a multi-service transaction is received, the transaction is not immediately initiated. Rather, a determination is first made as to which services need to be invoked in order to complete the transaction. A further determination is then made as to whether at least one of the services is likely to be unable to complete processing needed to further the transaction to completion. If at least one of the services is likely to be unable to complete processing needed to further the transaction to completion (thereby meaning that the overall transaction is likely to fail), then the transaction is not initiated at all. By doing so, the method/apparatus prevents transactions that are likely to fail from being started, which prevents waste of resources and other problems associated with partial processing of failed transactions from arising.

Abstract: A user uploads date sets through a client to a database. The data sets are provisioned in the database for in-database searching. The data sets are evaluated and classifications for the columns of the tables that include the data set are detected. Columns content may be classified into different analysis types, aggregation types, formats, categories, hierarchies, etc. Metadata is generated based on the evaluation of the data sets. A schema is used to store the metadata that describes the detected classification of the columns. The schema is stored in the database and is used when a search in the database is performed.
