Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for managing transaction disputes. Techniques include accessing a transaction pattern model associated with a user account; detecting deviation of a transaction from the transaction pattern model; transmitting, based on the detected deviation, transaction data to a user device; receiving an input at the user device in response to the transmitted data; generating, based on the received input, dispute data; storing the dispute data; monitoring data extracts associated with the user account; detecting, based on the monitoring, a data extract indicating a posted state of a transaction associated with the dispute data; and updating the dispute data based on the data extract indicating the posted state.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating high-resolution virtual-camera traffic visualizations. The visualizations appear as if a camera is present along a roadway at a location of interest and realistically depicts traffic flow at a particular time. Thus, the visualizations are able to provide viewers a realistic view of what traffic conditions are like at the location of interest. While various descriptions will provided with regard to traffic flow, the principles described herein may be used to create visualizations of other “flows,” such as in-flight aircraft, ground control systems at airports, etc.

Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided to evaluate uplink or downlink block error rate (BLER) performance in a femto cell network. Data on uplink or downlink communication of data blocks for a set of femto access points (APs) is aggregated, wherein the selected is a fraction of a larger set of provisioned femto access points. The set of femto APs can be selected based at least in part on various criteria which can ensure that operation of the selected set of femto APs is a statistically meaningful representation of operation of the larger set of femto APs. Composite alarm thresholds facilitate triggering alarm(s) when a predetermined portion of the aggregated data reveal a BLER failure condition. Composite thresholds can be generated through analysis of aggregated uplink/downlink (UL/DL) BLER data for a set of femto APs.

Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided to monitor operation quality of a femto cell network. Operational data received from deployed femto cell access points are aggregated and monitored. Performance rules and associated operational quality indicators (OQIs) facilitate establishing a standard or desired quality of operation. Performance rule(s) comprises weight(s), sampling test(s), and alarm threshold(s) which can be established by a network operator. Collected data on telecommunication performance metrics can be analyzed to identify or calibrate a standard of operation, which facilitates generating performance rule(s). Weight(s) facilitates reducing the scope of operation data that is effectively monitored. OQIs can assess at least one of service quality, capacity, mobility, or provisioning in a femto cell network. Monitoring operational data generates actionable information for the femto cell network. Alarm(s) are generated when one or more OQIs adopt values below associated alarm thresholds.

Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided to enable phased acceptance of a product as part of an acquisition contract. Phased acceptance establishes a set of one or more phases of product acceptance, each directed to grant approval of a set of specific aspects of the product based at least in part on one of quality of operation or functional performance. Operational and functional performance metrics that determine acceptance thresholds in each acceptance phase are negotiated between a vendor and a client. To protect investment, phased acceptance can include remedies as part of each phase of acceptance based at least on one of product operational or functional failures, or unavailable features vendor committed to during negotiation of performance metrics; the remedies include at least one corrective measures or liquidated damages. A Final acceptance phase is the last approval from client to vendor, and can be employed to close out the acquisition contract.

Abstract: An integrated application setup enables the implementation of application customizations through patch technology. A customization patch extends a typical patch file format such that the customization patch serves as a container for application customization data useful for customizing an application using different underlying technologies. The contents of the customization patch can include transforms, cabinet files, and XML content containing customization information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying application installations are described. In one aspect, a generic installation modifier package is created. The generic installation modifier package specifies differences between a target modified application installation and an already installed baseline application installation. The generic installation modifier package does not include information that is extraneous to modification of the already installed baseline application installation unless the information is designated as transparent to an installer application. The generic installation modifier package is communicated to a patch engine for subsequent modification of the baseline installation.
