A method of identifying a root cause in a distributed computing environment is provided including collecting metric data of a plurality of application components, collecting metric correlation relationship data, collecting topology relationship data, and collecting transaction tracking relationship data that indicates a group of the application components used to execute a requested transaction. A graph is generated including a plurality of nodes corresponding to the application components by merging the metric correlation relationship data, the topology relationship data, and the transaction tracking relationship data. The nodes of the graph are traversed in an order based on a bi-directional weight for each of a plurality of edges connecting neighboring nodes among the plurality of nodes. A recommendation list is generated including at least one abnormal application component. The recommendation includes an instruction to repair the abnormal application component acting as a system bottleneck in the distributed computing environment.

Embodiments include methods and devices for identifying record schemas in a non-relational database by assigning a record to a schema bucket according to structural characteristics of the record and identifying a record schema of the record within the schema bucket so that records with isomorphic record schemas in the non-relational database can be determined. Aspects also include encoding keys of a lowest level of a record according to a global codemap, sorting the keys of the lowest level that belong to different parent keys respectively and updating key names of corresponding parent keys in the parent level of a children level according to the codes of the keys of the children level.

Record schemas identification in non-relational database

A mechanism is provided for identifying a usage for data in a data structure. A set of configuration files associated with a set of services are analyzed to identify at least one class associate with the data in the data structure thereby forming a data structure-to-class mapping. Source code associated with the set of services is analyzed to identify a set of services used by at least one class in the data structure-to-class mapping thereby forming a service-to-class mapping. A set of specification files associated with the set of services are analyzed to identify a set of uses associated with at least one service in the service-to-class mapping thereby forming a use-to-service mapping. An identification of usage information of the data structure is generated using the data structure-to-class mapping, the service-to-class mapping, and the use-to-service mapping.

Discovery of application information for structured data

A method of identifying a root cause in a distributed computing environment includes traversing a plurality of nodes in a call graph starting with an end user node. Each node corresponds to an application component. A response time is calculated between connected pairs of neighboring nodes. A weight is calculated for each of a plurality of edges connecting the neighboring nodes. The nodes are traversed starting with the end user node in an order based on the weight of each of the edges. A root cause score is calculated for each node based on traversing all of the nodes in the order based on the weight of each of the edges. A ranked list is generated.

System and method for relationship based root cause recommendation

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and apparatus for generating a schema of a non-relational database. In the embodiments of the present invention, relationship among keys in at least one entry of a non-relational database may be determined, the keys may be grouped into at least one group based on the determined relationship, and a schema of the non-relational database may be generated according to the at least one group.

Provided is a process for producing biomass-based product from straw hemicellulose and utilizing the components thereof thoroughly. Steam-explosion and acid-hydrolysis are combined in the pre-treatment of straw in the process, thus a higher concentration of a sugar liquid can be obtained, and furfural and acetic acid can be recovered. The hemicellulose obtained by the pre-treatment can be used directly as ferment materials for producing butanol, succinic acid, butylene glycol, lactic acid, hydrogen and firedamp, which reduces the cost of these biomass-based products. The cellulose and lignin obtained by extracting the straw with an alkaline solution can produce products, such as sodium hydroxymethyl cellulose etc. In the process, all components in the straw can be utilized thoroughly and waste and pollutant will not be produced.

A method for changing a route in wireless communication involves: when there is subscriber equipment requesting a change of route in a cell, a base station negotiates downlink measurement contents with a relay station facilitating the route change in the cell; a network side informs the subscriber equipment requesting a change of route of the negotiated downlink measurement contents, and the subscriber equipment executes a downlink measurement according to the received measurement contents and reports the downlink measurement results to a radio access point; and the radio access point executes the route change for said subscriber equipment according to the received measurement results. The method can effectively improve the accuracy of the route change and alleviate the delay due to the route change.

Method for changing route in wireless communication

A handoff method of wireless LAN comprises the steps of: 1) immediately starting by a mobile terminal to count time from a time point of entering the wireless LAN or building the new association, that is, when building association with a certain access point; 2) always tracking a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the old access point by the mobile terminal, and once the mobile terminal starts getting weak, starting to search for a near access point and making a preparation for handoff, and issuing a probe request signal to a new access point, and always responding to a probe response message by the new access point after receiving the probe request signal; and 3) judging by the mobile terminal whether or not to associate the new access point according to a signal strength and an association time of each of the access points, and if a judging result is yes, issuing the reassociation request signal to the new access point. Accordingly, the new access point issues a reassociation response message to build the new association.
