  • SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUMS THAT PROVIDE FOR PARTITIONING OF AN ORIGINAL GEOGRAPHIC AREA INTO MULTIPLE GEOGRAPHIC SEED AREAS AS PART OF BALANCING A BUSINESS-RELATED WORKLOAD
    Publication number: 20150242788
    Abstract: A method is described for partitioning an original geographic area into smaller logical geographic seed areas as part of balancing a business-related workload. A computer system generates a plurality of data structures in a memory respectively representing the plurality of logical geographic seed areas based upon a watershed analysis of transport-related burden information within the original geographic area and transport-related flow information within the original geographic area. Each data structure includes a first element identifying the logical geographic seed areas and a second data element identifying a seed point. The computer system then determines if the business-related workload for each of the logical geographic seed areas is substantially balanced based upon the at least one business-related metric.
