A method and apparatus for calibrating a temperature sensor is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises generating first and second digital values based respectively on first and second voltages applied to a portion of a temperature sensor circuit. An arithmetic circuit may derive the value of the second voltage based on the first and second digital values. The method further comprises determining an initial value of a constant based on values of the first and second voltages, and determining a final value of the constant based on the initial voltage and at least one voltage offset. The constant may then be used in determining temperature readings for the temperature sensor.

Statistical temperature sensor calibration apparatus and methodology

A system maintains, generates, and manages infrastructure layouts. The infrastructure layouts include structural relationships for the handling of received sensor data. The infrastructure layouts may be traversed to determine datastore options for the sensor data and contextual information that may be used to enrich the received sensor data.

Sensor data handling for cloud-platform infrastructure layouts

A system maintains, generates, and manages infrastructure layouts. The infrastructure layouts interconnect infrastructure components and capture relational aspects between the components within the interconnections. The infrastructure layouts map northbound services, which are service outputs, to southbound services, which are service capabilities, for fulfillment. The system may traverse a mapping from a northbound service to a fulfilling southbound service to generate a workflow to support deployment of the northbound service. In various implementations, the system may compare a path, which maps a northbound service to a southbound service, to a policy model to determine compliance with the policy.

System architecture for cloud-platform infrastructure layouts

The differentiated service-based graceful degradation layer (DSGDL) allows cloud-based architectures to operate through and recover from periods of limited capability. The DSGDL protects and continues serving higher priority requests with the best possible response even as the underlying cloud-based services deteriorate. The DSGDL offloads lower priority requests to lower-grade secondary capability that can be dynamically provisioned in order to reserve the best capability for maintaining high priority service (e.g., by re-directing lower priority requests to a slightly out-of-date cached dataset, and reserve the primary consistent database for higher priority requests). The DSGDL 1) implements an overlay network over existing cloud services to route and enforce priority requests, and 2) provisions on-demand computing nodes and sites to provide secondary capability for service requests as needed.

According to an example, an adaptive fault diagnosis system may include a memory storing machine readable instructions to receive metrics and events from an enterprise system, and use a substitution graph to determine if a received metric or a received event belongs to a cluster that includes one or more correlated metrics and/or events grouped based on similarity. If the received metric or the received event belongs to the cluster, the memory may further store machine readable instructions to use a detection graph to determine if the received metric or the received event is identifiable to form a fault pattern by traversing a fault path of the detection graph. Further, the memory may further store machine readable instructions to diagnose a fault based on the traversal of the fault path of the detection graph. The system may include a processor to implement the machine readable instructions.

Adaptive fault diagnosis

A system includes a database that stores attributes of applications that are descriptive of source code included in the applications and identification data that identifies the applications to which the attributes apply. The attributes are mined through a programmatic analysis of one or more repositories in which the applications are stored, and the programmatic analysis includes programmatic analysis of the source code included in the applications to derive the attributes. The system also includes a computer system configured to handle queries against the attributes of the applications stored in the database and provide output based on the handling of queries against the attributes of the applications stored in the database.

Mining application repositories

At least one quasi-identifier attribute of a plurality of ranked attributes is selected for use in anonymizing a database. Each of the ranked attributes is ranked according to that attribute's effect on a database-centric application (DCA) being tested. In an embodiment, the selected quasi-identifier attribute(s) has the least effect on the DCA. The database is anonymized based on the selected quasi-identifier attribute(s) to provide a partially-anonymized database, which may then be provided to a testing entity for use in testing the DCA. In an embodiment, during execution of the DCA, instances of database queries are captured and analyzed to identify a plurality of attributes from the database and, for each such attribute identified, the effect of the attribute on the DCA is quantified. In this manner, databases can be selectively anonymized in order to balance the requirements of data privacy against the utility of the data for testing purposes.

Database anonymization

Systems and methods are provided for handling database deadlocks induced by database-centric applications (DCAs). SQL statements and transactions associated with the DCAs are analyzed and parsed to generate Petri net models. A supervisory modeler generates augmented Petri net models based on the Petri net models, which are used in generating supervisory control. The supervisory control is used in handling database deadlocks.

Systems and methods for handling database deadlocks induced by database-centric applications

A code evaluation tool greatly reduces time, cost, and other resource expenditures needed to validate that an application implements desired functionality. The tool is a search, navigation and visualization tool that accepts high-level processing concepts as inputs to identify, rank, and return the code of a recommended application. A software developer may use the tool to validate that functional requirements are met by the recommended application. The tool provides an efficient way to improve the evaluation of application logic to validate that the application meets specified functional requirement and implements the desired high-level processing concepts.

Recommended application evaluation system

A graphical user interface (GUI) tool analysis system helps determine whether to purchase or license automated testing tools. The system provides guidance, e.g., to test managers, for making decisions on expenditures for the automated test tools. As a result, the test managers need not make purchasing decisions ad hoc, based on their own personal experience and perceived benefits of implementing a tool based automatic testing approach versus a manual testing approach.
