Abstract: A method for predicting a failure of oilfield equipment based on univariate time series includes providing training data by a sensor. A training data stream comprising the training data is received by a preprocessor. The method further includes extracting training data segments and identifying each training data segment of the training data segments as corresponding to a normal operational state of the first oilfield equipment or a failed state of the first oilfield equipment. The method also includes generating a shapelet-based decision tree and receiving a test data stream from a sensor of second oilfield equipment. The method further includes determining, based on the shapelet-based decision tree, whether one or more test data segments extracted from the test data stream predict a failure of the second oilfield equipment.

Abstract: A method of allocation a computer to service a request for a data set in a system having a plurality of computers. The method is implemented on a neural network having only an input layer having input nodes and an output layer having output nodes, where each output node is associated with a specific computer. Connecting the input nodes to the output nodes are weights w(j,k). The method includes the steps of receiving a request for data set “I” and inputting to the input layer a vector R(I) dependent upon the number of requests for the requested data over a predetermined period of time and selecting a computer assignment associated with of one of the output nodes to service the data request, where the output node selected is associated with a specific weight selected to minimize a predetermined metric measuring the distance between the vector entry R(I) and the weights(I,k).

Abstract: The invention is a method of allocating a computer to service a request for a data set in a system having a plurality of computers. The method is implemented on a neural having at an input layer having input nodes and an output layer having output nodes, where each output node is associated with a specific computer. Connecting the input nodes to the output nodes are weights w(j,k). Each output node is associated with a computer in the system, and the inputs to the input nodes are dependent upon the number of requests for specific pages.
