Abstract: A method and a system for testing an application across platforms. Application testing for checking functionality of an application is carried out to insure that same applications have the same behavior on different platforms. Such platforms include function, user interface (UI), and generated data. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for cross-platform application testing. A first response to an action is determined on a first platform. The action is triggered on a second platform, the second platform being different from the first platform. Then, a second response is determined to the action on the second platform. Finally, the first response and the second response are compared to test consistency of the application on the first platform and the second platform. A corresponding system for testing an application across platforms is also provided.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for controlling the internal air-quality of a vehicle. Responsive to determining that a speed of a vehicle fails to be above the predetermined low-speed threshold, a determination is made as to whether an internal air-quality from an internal air-quality sensor is better than the external air-quality from an external air-quality sensor. Responsive to the internal air-quality being better than the external air-quality, a ventilation control mechanism is signaled to utilize a recirculating-air mode, wherein the ventilation control mechanism either stays in an already initiated recirculation-air mode or switches to the recirculating-air mode. Responsive to the internal air-quality being worse than the external air-quality, the ventilation control mechanism is signaled to utilize a fresh-air mode, wherein the ventilation control mechanism either stays in an already initiated fresh-air mode or switches to the fresh-air mode.

Abstract: A method for scheduling MapReduce tasks includes receiving a set of task statistics corresponding to task execution within a MapReduce job, estimating a completion time for a set of tasks to be executed to provide an estimated completion time, calculating a soft decision point based on a convergence of a workload distribution corresponding to a set of executed tasks, calculating a hard decision point based on the estimated completion time for the set of tasks to be executed, determining a selected decision point based on the soft decision point and the hard decision point, and scheduling upcoming tasks for execution based on the selected decision point. The method may also include estimating a map task completion time and estimating a shuffle operation completion time. A computer program product and computer system corresponding to the method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for retrieving trajectory data from huge datasets. In the method, there is received, at a processor device, a user query including a request for displaying trajectory data at a user device. From the user query, a query type and a current map visualization scale setting (mapscale) for visualizing the trajectory data on the user device display is determined. Then, responsive to a user query type and the determined mapscale setting, a corresponding reference level is selected. Based on the selected reference level, there is accessed from a memory storage device a data set of compressed trajectory data. This compressed trajectory data set is communicated to the user device, for presentation on the user device display. In one aspect, the system and method is adaptive, enabling storage and retrieval of trajectory data according to various degrees of visualization or granularity.

Abstract: A method for evaluating fraudulent data in a Usage Based Insurance (UBI) system, includes retrieving trip data for a driver from a database. A processor on a computer determines tough context incidents in the trip data. Driving behavior of the driver during said tough context incidents is compared with driving behavior of other drivers during similar tough context incidents. The trip data is identified as potentially fraudulent if the driver's driving behavior is better by a predetermined amount compared to the other drivers' driving behavior.

Abstract: Dispatching messages in a moving object, in one aspect, may include receiving a description of a spatial area. A hierarchical tree representation of the spatial area may be generated. The hierarchical tree representation may comprise nodes, wherein a child node represents a sub-region of a region represented by a parent node of the child node. Moving features may be associated with each of the nodes, the moving features comprising whether the node is cacheable, whether the node covers an unpartitioned area, an active object list in an area covered by the node, and a latest position associated with an object in the active object list. Data from the moving object may be dispatched based on the hierarchical tree representation.
