Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for allocating resources based on predictions of workload probability parameters. The method can include collecting a first set of historical workload data generated by operating a first set of one or more applications at a first number of past time instances; predicting probability parameters of a second set of future workload data for operating a second set of one or more applications at a second number of future time instances; and determining future resources allocated to operating the second set of one or more applications for the second number of future time instances, based on allocated current resources, a lower bound of resources to satisfy a quality of service (QoS) for operating the second set of one or more applications, an upper bound of resources to satisfy the QoS, and the predicted probability parameters.

Abstract: A taxi-based delivery method, system and server using the same, comprising acquiring a first start point and a first terminal point of an express package; acquiring a second start point and a second terminal point of each of a plurality of taxis that carry passengers and generating a plurality of riding paths; if the first start point is within a first preset distance from the riding paths and the first terminal point is within a second preset distance from the riding paths, listing the taxi as a delivery-capable taxi and notifying it to deliver the express package. According to the start point, the terminal point and arrival time of the express package, it is ensured that the express package can be arrived on time. The passengers taking the ride can get the discount on the ride through such a carpooling method.

Abstract: A carpool-based package delivery method, including the steps of: acquiring first origin information and first destination information of a package, generating a first delivery path, and delivering the package; acquiring second origin information and second destination information of a number of passengers; and when the second origin information is within a first preset distance from the first delivery path and the second destination information is within a second preset distance from the first delivery path, listing the passengers as possible pickup passengers and issuing prompts. By using the origin information, the destination information, and arrival time information of the package, possible carpool passengers nearby may be screened out from the beginning, not only ensuring that the package can arrive at the destination on time and the price is reduced, but also ensuring that the riding customer can ride at a discount through such carpool.
