Abstract: A system for discovering business processes from noisy activities logs from various activities performed during the execution of the process. Activities are observed from the noisy activity logs that may include text from manually entered activity logs, chat scripts, emails, voice transcripts, desktop captures, and tool logs, wherein the noisy activity logs are received from multiple person/tool actors with each of the actors performing one or more activities related to one/more business tasks. Extracting information from the noisy activity logs to capture activity based information, and then analyzing similar activities and finding possible paths in the similar activities. The results are used to build a process graph based on the similar activities and the possible paths in the similar activities.

Abstract: A method for managing clustered computer resources, and particularly very large scale clusters of computer resources by a semi-hierarchical n level, n+1 tier approach. Controller resources and controlled resources exist at different hardware levels. The top level consists of controller nodes and a first tier is defined for at least part of the top level. At a last level, at which controlled nodes are found, a last tier is defined. Additional levels of controlled and controller resources may exist between the top and last levels. At least one logical intermediate tier is introduced between adjacent levels and comprises at least one proxy or set of proxy processes.

Abstract: A system and method for managing clustered computer resources, and more particularly very large scale clusters of computer resources by a semi-hierarchical n level, n+1 tier approach. The top level consists of the controller nodes. A first tier is defined at the top level. At a last level, at which the cluster of controlled nodes is found, a last tier is defined. Additional levels of controller or controlled nodes may exist between the top and bottom levels. At least one intermediate tier is introduced between two of the levels and comprises at least one proxy or a plurality of proxies. A proxy is a process or set of processes representing processes of the clustered computer resources. Proxies can run either on controller nodes or on the controlled nodes or controlled node clusters to facilitate administration of the controlled nodes.

Abstract: An exemplary method of determining a set of optimal solutions for a problem includes the steps of determining a set of probable solutions for the problem; presenting the set of probable solutions to at least one human expert; receiving at least one selection by the at least one human expert of at least one solution from the set of probable solutions; and determining a set of optimal solutions from the set of probable solutions based at least in part on the at least one selection by the at least one human expert.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for carrying out an operation based on a log record of a computer program.
