  • Patent number: 11632383
    Abstract: In some implementations, sequences of time series values determined from machine data are obtained. Each sequence corresponds to a respective time series. A plurality of predictive models is generated for a first time series from the sequences of time series values. Each predictive model is to generate predicted values associated with the first time series using values of a second time series. For each of the plurality of predictive models, an error is determined between the corresponding predicted values and values associated with the first time series. A predictive model is selected for anomaly detection based on the determined error of the predictive model. Transmission is caused of an indication of an anomaly detected using the selected predictive model.

  • Patent number: 10554526
    Abstract: An anomaly detection system is able to detect spatial and temporal environment anomalies and spatial and temporal behavior anomalies, and monitor servers for anomalous characteristics of the environment and behavior. If metrics and/or characteristics associated with a given server are beyond a certain threshold, and alert is generated. Among other options, the alert can take the form of a heat map or a cluster cohesiveness report.

  • Patent number: 9130921
    Abstract: A system for bridging user identities between at least a first and a second security domain, including a bridge associated with the first security domain for intercepting messages for service in the second domain from users in the first domain. The bridge authenticates the user identities against a local authentication source by using an established key relationship and binds a security token with the message. A gateway is associated with the second domain for gating inbound access and outbound communication with a service in the second domain and for receiving the authenticated message and verifying the authenticity of the security token by using a certificate of the trusted authentication source and authorizing access to the service upon confirmation of the authorization, such that the authorization is independent of the identity of the user.

  • Patent number: 8712886
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for service classification are provided. The apparatus and method make use of canonical service descriptions which designate minimum requirements for a service to be classified into a corresponding classification. Based on the canonical service description, it can be determined whether a service that wishes to be classified into a particular classification of a taxonomy on a service broker meets the minimum requirements for that classification. Furthermore, the use of canonical service descriptions ensures that all services classified into a particular classification have a minimum level of functionality that will allow them to function properly when invoked.

  • Patent number: 7107333
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing the processing of a document. A set of services registered for use in processing a document received from a client is identified in which registration information for each service within the set of services provides input requirements. A service from the set of registered services is selected to form a selected service by comparing a current state of the document with the input requirements for each service within the set of registered services. Execution of the selected service on the document is initiated, wherein a state transition occurs to a new state, which becomes the current state of the document processing system. The document processing system state is comprised of a collection of information fragments (tuples) which represent the set of documents currently being processed and the state of each document currently being processed. The selecting step and the initiating step are repeated until a response is returned to the client.
