Abstract: A method for identifying relationships between nodes in a graph is provided. The method comprises determining a count of relationships for each relationship type associated with each node in a pair of nodes on the graph. The relationship types are represented by edges connected to the nodes in the pair of nodes. A number of common relationships are determined between the pair of nodes for each relationship type. A count for each common relationship is determined for the number of common relationships between the pair of nodes. A similarity coefficient for each common relationship is determined based on the count for each common relationship and the count of relationships for each relationship type associated with each node in the pair of nodes. A weighted score is generated to represent strength for relationships between the pair of nodes using the similarity coefficients.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting CPU topology may include executing, by a virtual machine on a host device having a multi-core processing system, a machine-readable process on a core of the host device. The systems and methods may include determining, by the virtual machine, a benchmark metric according to execution of the machine-readable process. The systems and methods may include iteratively executing, by the virtual machine, for different combinations of sockets of the virtual machine, the machine-readable process, to determine execution metrics for each combination of cores in which the machine-readable process is executed. The systems and methods may include determining, by the virtual machine, a hyperthreading arrangement of the host device according to a comparison of the execution metrics to the benchmark metric.

Abstract: A system and method for processing delayed sales order. In one embodiment a system for sales order processing includes one or more processors and instructions executable by the one or more processors. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to 1) select from a plurality of stored sales orders, a first subset of the sales orders having a previously scheduled delivery date delayed by more than a predetermined time period; 2) associate with each sales order of the first subset a reason for the delivery date delay; 3) select from the first subset of the sales orders, a second subset of the sales orders associated with a given representative; and 4) display the second subset of the sales orders for viewing by the given representative.

Abstract: A method and system for specification and execution of complex pricing calculations for the insurance industry using a declarative approach to specify and execute the rules. Pricing Illustrator/Configuration is a unique combination of a process and system that defines, tests and implements complex business computations such as premium computations for the insurance sector. The invention provides a repeatable and well-defined process for specification, design and implementation of the rules and a flexible, rule based calculation/pricing engine that implements the rules defined without any programming. Using the concept of declarative rules, Microsoft Excel as the design time tool to specify the rules and execute the spreadsheet at runtime to compute the premium, the invention defines, tests and refines the rules in relation to a business need.
