Abstract: Visual structures are produced to represent corresponding motifs, where the motifs correspond to repeating patterns in an input data set, where sizes of the visual structures are based on values of a characteristic associated with the motifs, and where a first of the motifs is nested within a second of the motifs to represent a hierarchical relationship of the patterns represented by the first and second motifs. The visual structures of corresponding motifs are presented for display in a visualization screen, where the visualization screen depicts the data in the input data set with the visual structures overlapping parts of depicted data. Interactive input is received specifying modification of a region containing motifs, wherein the specified modification includes interactive distortion of the visual structures in the region to change a size of the visual structures in the region.

Abstract: A method for event correlation includes capturing events and arranging the events sequentially in at least one dimension. An event correlator implemented by a computational device convolves a kernel density function with each of the events to produce a convolved function for each event. Co-occurrences between events are found by calculating overlap between convolved functions.

Abstract: A system causes display of a visual representation of a cell-based calendar having cells representing data records, where the cells have corresponding visual indicators corresponding to values of the respective data records. The cells are arranged in plural blocks corresponding to time intervals of the cell-based calendar. Event visual indicators transparently overlay cells in at least some of the plural blocks, where the event visual indicators represent events that occurred in time intervals corresponding to the at least some blocks. The events are separate from activities represented by the data records. Providing the event visual indicators transparently overlaid over the cells in the at least some blocks depict a relationship and relative impact between the data records and the events.

Abstract: A pattern of geocoded pixels is generated by accessing data point values, where each data point value includes an attribute value and coordinates of a geographic location. Each data point value corresponds to a geocoded pixel that is positioned on the pattern based on the coordinates of the data point value such some geocoded pixels overlap other geocoded pixels. Different levels of the pattern of geocoded pixels correspond to a different degree of overlap between the geocoded pixels. The different levels of the pattern of geocoded pixels are associated with different magnification levels of a geographic map such that changing a magnification level of the geographic map causes a degree of overlap between the geocoded pixels of the pattern to change.

Abstract: A value corresponding to an adjustable control element is received. Predicted data is computed from seasonal data, where the computing is according to applying preservation of peaks in the seasonal data and applying time distance biasing in which more recent data points in the seasonal data are weighted higher than less recent data points. Relative weighting of the peak preservation and the time distance biasing is based on the received value corresponding to the adjustable control element.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed for providing content queries for multi-dimensional datasets. One embodiment is a method for software execution that displays, on an interactive graph, categories and values of a multi-dimensional dataset. A content query is issued from a user for a value from at least one of the categories. Interactive graphs are generated that are responsive to the content query.

Abstract: To provide non-overlapping visualization of data points of a scatter plot, bins in a visualization screen are defined. The bins are defined along a first dimension by a first attribute of the data points, and along a second dimension by a second attribute of the data points. Cells representing corresponding data points in the bins are placed using a placement algorithm that positions the cells in the bins according to values of the first and second attributes of the corresponding data points. If the placement algorithm detects plural data points that have identical values of the first and second attributes, the placement algorithm groups the data points having the identical values in nearby positions surrounding a position corresponding to the identical values of the first and second attributes to avoid overlay of the data points having the identical values of the first and second attributes.

Abstract: For plural categorical values of a first attribute, more relevant categorical values of a second attribute are selected from among candidate categorical values of the second attribute, where the selecting uses a relevance determination process that considers frequencies of occurrence of respective pairs of the categorical values of the first and second attributes. A visualization that includes groups of cells corresponding to the respective pairs of categorical values of the first and second attributes is generated. At least one of the groups includes cells assigned visual indicators based on values of a third attribute.

Abstract: Visual analytics for multivariate session data using concentric rings with overlapping periods includes displaying an interactive graph in a display. The interactive graph includes at least a portion of multiple concentric rings where each one of at least some of the multiple concentric rings represents periodic time units. At least some of the multiple concentric rings are divided into cells where the cells represent smaller time periods than the time units. A color of each of the cells represents a value of a metric. Also, an overlapping period ring displayed with the multiple concentric rings where the overlapping period ring comprises segments that represent overlapping metrics from the cells of the concentric rings that correspond with the segments.

Abstract: Unevenly spaced data records are received over time. A smoothed graphical visualization has a plurality of discrete rings to allow for detection of periodical patterns in the data records, where the discrete rings correspond to plural time periods and contain pixels representing values of an attribute of the data records. Visual indicators are assigned to the corresponding pixels, where a first of a visual indicators for a first time interval that is missing a data record is based on aggregating values of the attribute of neighboring data records, and where a second of the visual indicators for a second time interval having multiple data records is based on aggregating values of the attribute of the multiple data records.

Abstract: Visual analytics using multivariate concentric rings with a visual start time mechanism includes displaying an interactive graph where the interactive graph has multiple concentric rings that have multiple cells that represent sequential time periods. The concentric rings form a time unit that starts at an origin and ends at a time unit end and also has a pre-nonorigin starting section and a post-nonorigin starting section. A color is displayed in the cells to represent measurements associated with time stamps corresponding to cells in the post-nonorigin starting section. Further, a background color is displayed in cells of the pre-nonorigin starting section. The cells in the pre-nonorigin starting section are reused by displaying a color to represent metrics associated with time stamps belonging to a subsequent time unit.

Abstract: Processing batch database workload while avoiding overload. A method for efficiently processing a database workload in a computer system comprises receiving the workload, which comprises a batch of queries directed toward the database. Each query within the batch of queries is assigned a priority. Resources of the computer system are assigned in accordance with the priority. The batch of queries is executed in unison within the computer system in accordance with the priority of each query thereby resolving a conflict within the batch of queries for the resources of the computer system, hence efficiently processing the database workload and avoiding overload of the computer system.
