The use of visual cues associated with rendered visual items to cue a user on whether a rendered visual item has interactive capability and / or what type of interaction is possible with that visual item. The visual items may be rendered in a data driven way with each constructed using a corresponding parameterized view component. The parameter(s) are populated by data, perhaps by model variables obtained from an analytical model. The parameters then drive logic associated with the view component to thereby construct a visual item which may then be rendered. The rendering engine then renders the visual item with the visual cue. The user may then interact with the rendered visual item. Such interaction might cause some external action to occur, might change which visual items are displayed, and / or might change a value of the input parameters of one or more view components used to generate displayed visual items.

An apparatus and method for monitoring a process involve development and application of a statistically qualified neuro-analytic (SQNA) model to accurately and reliably identify process change. The development of the SQNA model is accomplished in two stages: deterministic model adaption and stochastic model modification of the deterministic model adaptation. Deterministic model adaption involves formulating an analytic model of the process representing known process characteristics, augmenting the analytic model with a neural network that captures unknown process characteristics, and training the resulting neuro-analytic model by adjusting the neural network weights according to a unique scaled equation error minimization technique. Stochastic model modification involves qualifying any remaining uncertainty in the trained neuro-analytic model by formulating a likelihood function, given an error propagation equation, for computing the probability that the neuro-analytic model generates measured process output. Preferably, the developed SQNA model is validated using known sequential probability ratio tests and applied to the process as an on-line monitoring system. Illustrative of the method and apparatus, the method is applied to a peristaltic pump system.

An optimal path in the modeled flow network is computed as an initial schedule, and the archive management system performs tasks according to the initial schedule. The operations of scheduled tasks are monitored and the job scheduler produces a new schedule based on feedbacks of the monitored operations and predefined heuristics.

In a computer system with a multi-core processor having a shared cache memory level, an operating system scheduler adjusts the CPU latency of a thread running on one of the cores to be equal to the fair CPU latency which that thread would experience when the cache memory was equally shared by adjusting the CPU time quantum of the thread. In particular, during a reconnaissance time period, the operating system scheduler gathers information regarding the threads via conventional hardware counters and uses an analytical model to estimate a fair cache miss rate that the thread would experience if the cache memory was equally shared. During a subsequent calibration period, the operating system scheduler computes the fair CPU latency using runtime statistics and the previously computed fair cache miss rate value to determine the fair CPI value.

Certain example embodiments relate to using Complex Event Processing (CEP) techniques for statistical analysis of cache behavior and parameters, e.g., in connection with large, potentially heterogeneous data sets (e.g., “Big Data”). A dedicated stream mining operator registers a listener to a cache and receives notifications on cache operations. For selected element attributes, a first model estimates the probability density functions of the attribute values, delivering well-defined estimates of the attribute value distributions. A second model analyzes the time elements stay in the cache (“validity”). Validity is combined with the attribute value distribution. A meaningful analysis model (Cache Element Model) can be derived by combining additional summary statistics for the validity with the attribute value distribution, describing how long elements stay in the cache for attribute values of a specific region, and how the values are distributed. It may be used to inform administrative tasks such as, optimization of cache parameters.

Factor retrieving is a major approach for pulse wave analysis. Stiffness index and cardiac output are widely used factors for cardiac risk detection. Research has been done on clinical pulse wave data which are collected by pulse oximeter. The result shows that collected factors have a positive correlation with certain cardiac risks. Some adjustments have been applied on the algorithms that increase the significance. In addition to the factor based analysis, other signal processing techniques for pulse waveforms are included such as bispectrum estimation, Wavelet transform, and weighted dynamic time warping. Bispectrum estimation and Wavelet transform have meaningful features of pulse waveforms with some special shapes. Weighted dynamic time warping compares the similarity of waveforms. It also includes medical significance into the calculation by adjusting the weight vector. This algorithm has higher accuracy when providing more samples to compare. The factor based analysis and waveform analysis compose an analytic model which can be used for risk evaluation, classification and disease detection.
