Patent number: 11606419Abstract: An edge computing system comprises: a cloud computing system; an edge processing function; a connection between the edge processing function and the cloud computing system; a backend server within the cloud computing system. An assessment module is configured to receive information about processing goals, and processing capabilities of the backend server and the edge processing function. The assessment module derives a set of possible interfaces and corresponding functionality splits defining a division of processing activity between the backend server and the edge processing function. Based on a received measurement of bandwidth and/or of latency on the connection, the assessment module selects an interface and corresponding functionality split, and downloads them to the edge processing function and the backend server.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: VEEA Inc.Inventors: Timothy James Speight, Nicholas Jelbert, Stephen Robert Calvert

Publication number: 20090094146Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media provide for predicting an effectiveness of a cost saving opportunity. According to embodiments of the method, a feasibility score, a financial impact score, and a risk score are determined. An effectiveness score is determined based on the feasibility score, the financial impact score, and the risk score. The feasibility score may indicate an anticipated ease with which to implement each cost saving opportunity. The financial impact score may indicate an anticipated cost savings resulting from implementing each cost saving opportunity. The risk score may indicate an anticipated level of business risk incurred by implementing each of the plurality of cost saving opportunities. The effectiveness score, which may be represented in one or two dimensions, indicates the anticipated effectiveness of each cost saving opportunity based on the feasibility score, the financial impact score, and the risk score.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2007Publication date: April 9, 2009Inventors: Robert Calvert, Terry Masty, Charles Bowser

Publication number: 20090024425Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media provide for determining an application risk rating. According to embodiments, a method for determining an application risk rating is provided. According to the method, a technology risk score is determined. The technology risk score indicates a technology status associated with a business system. A capacity risk score is determined. The capacity risk score indicates a capacity status associated with the business system. A business risk score is determined. The business risk score indicates a criticality of a function provided by the business system. An application risk rated is determined based on the technology risk score, the capacity risk score, and the business risk score.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2007Publication date: January 22, 2009Inventor: Robert Calvert
