  • Patent number: 10778538
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, computer program products and systems for automated self-recovery of a distributed service are disclosed. In embodiments, a missing resource of the service is determined based on a pre-defined service description responsive to a detection of a failure of the service. The service description defines base elements for recovering the service. A recovery strategy is further generated based on the missing resource in accordance with inference rules. A resource is further retrieved from a pool in accordance with the recovery strategy and based on the retrieved resource, the service is further recovered in accordance with the recovery strategy.

  • Publication number: 20130159206
    Abstract: Determining a routing of vehicles for pickup and delivery in a supply chain network, in one aspect, may include generating a plurality of candidate set of routes for vehicles for pickup and delivery to meet demand at multiple target locations. Unsatisfied demand at said multiple target locations resulting from completing pickup and delivery according to the generated plurality of candidate set of routes may be determined. A set of vehicles routes are selected from said plurality of candidate set of routes that minimizes said unsatisfied demand across all said multiple target locations by applying an optimization function.
