A computing device identifies concept terms related to an input phrase based on data in a data set. The input phrase defines an initial scope of a concept search. The computing device presents the concept terms in a graphical user interface (GUI) and a GUI element in the GUI to represent the input phrase. Upon a selection of at least one concept term, the computing device presents a visual representation of a relationship between the selected concept term(s) and the input phrase in the GUI using the GUI element, and a count of documents available to be retrieved in the GUI based on the relationship.

User interface for transparent concept search

Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for managing availability of a slave components executing in a distributed system. A master server and a heartbeat protocol may be provided. The heartbeat protocol may define state machines for the master server and/or the slave components. The master server and/or the slave components may act in accordance with the state machines to manage availability of the slave components in the distributed system.

High availability management system for stateless components in a distributed master-slave component topology

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for managing availability of a component executing in a distributed system. The component may have an address space closed to the distributed system. In one embodiment, the component may be initiated. A state of the component may be analyzed to determine the availability of the component. The determined availability may be transmitted to the distributed system. The component may also be restarted responsive to a request from the distributed system to restart the component.
