A computer-implemented method for determining resources utilized by a service request in a data processing system. The method includes determining monitored relationship types from monitoring data, determining relationship domains, determining intra-domain relationships from relationships that are internal to the relationship domains and determining cross-domain relationships from the intra-domain relationships that are linked between pairs of the relationship domains, and determining resources utilized by the service request from the intra-domain and cross-domain relationships. The domains are derived from one of the relationship types that is monitored by a single monitoring application.

High level characteristics are extracted from a virtual machine provisioning request stream for a cloud computing environment. A plurality of prediction models are generated for a plurality of different types of virtual machines. A regression-correlation ensemble is applied to appropriate ones of the prediction models to predict future virtual machine demand for the cloud computing environment.

Checking health of information technology infrastructure based on log data, in one aspect, may collect log data non-intrusively from a production system, said log data at least associated with transactions occurring in the production system and resource utilization of the production system, may normalize said log data into a plurality of log data types, may perform data regression analysis using said plurality of log data types to estimate resources consumed by each of said transactions and throughput of each of said transactions, and may use a queuing model to predict performance of the information technology infrastructure under various workloads.

A method and an apparatus adaptively and dynamically deliver multimedia content based on continuously monitored network conditions. Given the temporal relationships among the multimedia items in the multimedia data stream and also the current network condition, the method and apparatus compute a transmission schedule such that the transmission delay and the burstyness of the network bandwidth utilization are minimized, while maintaining the integrity of the multimedia presentation.

Topically relevant objects in an object database are first identified using any generally known methods to obtain a set of topically relevant objects (topically relevant set). Parents, and in alternative embodiments other ancestors, of one or more of the topically relevant objects are identified according to directional structural relationships that the parents have with respect to the topically relevant objects. These objects form a set of structurally relevant objects (structurally relevant set). In some embodiments, the user query identifies one or more of these structural relationships. The topically relevant objects are then organized under one or more of their respective parents to form a hierarchy level of both (topically relevant and structurally relevant) sets of objects. In some preferred embodiments, the process can iterate to create more than one hierarchy level.

System and method for hierarchically grouping and ranking a set of

A query comprising of sub queries, each of which could be of different media types are used to search a collection of multimedia documents in a database. These sub queries are parsed according to media type and operators/functions between these sub queries are recorded creating a set of query objects and query operator objects. The query interface than passes the query objects to the appropriate application programming interfaces (API's) of the various search engines. Furthermore, it applies the query object operators to the respective interim results obtained by executing a query object. Then the interim results are combined in a global result object that is processed using a user specification to produce a single combined result list that conforms to user specified requirements.
