Patent number: 10231895Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for providing turn-by-turn directions to mobility impaired individuals. Movement of users associated with certain mobility classes are tracked to determine when the users deviate from certain geographical features, such as sections of sidewalk. In the event of a deviation, a reliability score for that geographical feature is decreased. When another user of the same mobility class requests directions and a candidate path uses the same geographical feature, the decreased reliability score is applied to that candidate path to provide the other user with an indication that the path may be difficult to traverse. The user may select a different candidate path with a higher reliability score.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Serena Girardini, Andrea Ianni, Marco Imperia, Valeria Perticará, Roberto Piras

Patent number: 9235440Abstract: This disclosure describes monitoring the execution of jobs in a work plan. In an embodiment, a system maintains a risk level associated with the critical job to represent whether the execution of a job preceding the critical job has a problem, and it maintains the list associated with the critical job so as to quickly identify the preceding job which may cause a delay to the critical job execution.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marco Cardelli, Pietro Lannucci, Valeria Perticara, Randa Salem

Patent number: 9106100Abstract: A scheduler detects a change in one of an electricity consumption pattern and appliance cycle scheduling that affects electricity consumption in a future time slot of an appliance cycle schedule for a plurality of appliances. The appliance cycle schedule comprises a plurality of future time slots. Appliances scheduled for use during the future time slot are determined. A total electricity consumption for the future time slot is then computed. The total electricity consumption comprises a sum of predicted background electricity consumption during the future time slot and predicted appliance cycle electricity consumption during the future time slot. It is determined that the total electricity consumption exceeds a threshold electricity consumption associated with an electric meter associated with the plurality of appliances. A new appliance cycle schedule with each of the plurality of future time slots having total electricity consumption below the threshold electricity consumption is generated.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scot MacLellan, Valeria Perticara′

Patent number: 8612991Abstract: A method for dynamically recalculating a critical path in a job scheduling system is disclosed. In selected embodiments, the method may include determining when a first job associated with a critical path is substantially complete. The method may further include identifying a successor job of the first job and identifying multiple predecessor jobs of the successor job. The method may then determine whether there is at least one predecessor job that has not completed. In the event there is at least one predecessor job that has not completed, the method may recalculate the critical path. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product for implementing the above-stated method are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Valeria Perticara'

Patent number: 8214687Abstract: Disaster recovery is performed based on journaling events prioritization in information in an information technology environment. One implementation involves prioritizing log file events for scheduling of jobs on a computing system, by logging events concerning each job execution plan, in a log file, and for disaster recovery, prioritizing logged events based on corresponding job urgency and relevance level and performing recovery by reapplying the events of log files in the priority order such that more urgent and relevant jobs are recovered first.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Giovanni L. Colaiacomo, Giuseppe Longobardi, Valeria Perticara′, Ilaria Rispoli
