Abstract: A method for visual representation of end user response time (EURT) in a multi-tiered network application is provided. Search criteria for searching a repository of client statistics records is received. The search criteria specifies identification information pertaining to a user of a multi-tiered network application experiencing application performance problems and a time period associated with the application performance problems. The identification information identifies an IP address of user's computing device. A plurality of client statistics records matching the search criteria is retrieved from the repository. The retrieved plurality of client statistics records is sorted based on measurements of performance parameters. A graph representing relevant topology hierarchy of the multi-tiered network application is presented to a user based on the sorted client statistics records. The graph visually identifies connections between nodes of the multi-tiered application.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods relate to profiling users and recommending tires, and, more particularly, for systems and methods for determining the most appropriate tires for a customer based on fitment, location, and the customer's personal preferences. In some example embodiments, system may according to the present disclosure determine the most appropriate tires for a customer based on the customer's personal preferences, fitment, and location. In some embodiments, the system may provide a quiz (or “persona selection”) to the customer and, based on the findings provided by the quiz, return a data set tailored to the driving style and product preferences of the customer (or user). The data set may then be used to determine the most appropriate tire for the customer.
