A process in the subset of processes is identified as a root cause candidate of the problem encountered by the first process.

Abstract: A version manager that manages multiple versions of a logical data model. Each version of the logical data model exposes a data storage system using a corresponding semantic mapping set that for multiple logical data model entities, maps at least the logical data model entity to at least a corresponding physical data model entity of the data storage system. The logical data model itself may consistent of multiple constituent logical data models, each used for a different vertical to expose the same underlying storage system. The version manager corresponds each of one or more data consumers of the data storage system with a version of the logical data model. Accordingly, when requests come in from a particular data consumer, the corresponding version of the logical data model is used.

Abstract: Described herein is an approach for automatically determining the semantic relatedness of documents to semantic concepts. A first text mining analysis extracts a set of reference concepts from reference documents. A second text mining analysis extracts a set of test concepts from test documents that include a mixture of new concepts and reference concepts. An extended co-occurrence matrix is computed that indicates a frequency of co-occurrence (RCCF) of each new and each reference concept in the test documents with all other new and reference concepts. The extended co-occurrence matrix is used for computing a new concept relatedness score (NCRS) for the new concepts. A document similarity score (DSS) is computed for each of the test documents by aggregating, inter alia, the NCRS of each new concept with the RCCF of each reference concept. The DSS represents the semantic relatedness of the test document to the totality of the reference concepts.

Abstract: A content server system provides a user of a client device with a playlist of content, such as streamed audio. The provided playlist is customized for the particular country of the user, even if the content server system has only recently begun to provide content to that country. To customize the playlist for a country lacking a sufficient amount of country-specific statistical data, the content server system generates a number of non-country-specific channels, each channel recommending content according to its own criteria. The content server system generates a non-content specific playlist by combining the channels. The content server system also generates, using the statistics for the country of the user, a country-specific channel that is specific to that country. The content server system generates a country-specific playlist by combining the non-country-specific playlist with the country-specific channel, e.g., according to the amount of country-specific statistics that are available.

A fourth access table maps user roles to column identifiers. If a user requests access to a data record, the security access tables are queried using the data record identifier, the associated column identifier, and the user roles associated with the user to determine if the user can access the requested data record.

Abstract: A list folding process dynamically groups items of a list into logically related visual folds to reduce the number of items to be displayed in a window of a computer screen. The process determines attributes of the items to be displayed and dynamically groups items together into a special group called a visual fold based on the attributes. The rules for folding items based on attributes can be defined by a particular user so that each view of the items may be different among users. As the attributes of each item change, the display of the items and visual folds may be automatically adjusted to reflect the current proper grouping. The folding process therefore allows a user to view the maximum amount of information in available display area of a computer screen window.

Abstract: A technique for managing file systems assigns groups of related files in a file system to respective version sets.

In an example, file system operations that require information about block sharing can perform lookup operations on the version set database to narrow the scope of files that are candidates for block sharing to those of a particular version set.

Abstract: A method of extracting web page information includes analyzing a document object model (DOM) structure of a sample page to obtain a position of information to be extracted.
