Apparatus, systems and methods for service and / or business for coordinating tasks of performance management and application placement management in a dynamic fashion. An example process is dynamic in the face of fluctuations in the request load to the distributed computer system and the periodic adjustments to the placement of applications onto servers in said distributed computer system. There are two opposite functional flows in said process: a demand estimation function and a capacity adjustment function. The coordination system involves two subsystems: a demand estimator and a capacity adjuster, along with appropriate interfaces to of the performance manager and the application placement manager. This results in application placement process reacting quicker to demand fluctuations, performance guarantees are better met by rearranging the resources to be allocated to the various classes of service, and the management system works in an unsupervised mode, thus reducing manual administration costs and human errors.

Embodiments disclosed herein utilize Habitats to perform incremental updates on virtual machines (VMs) over time. A VM Habitat comprises a collection of VMs and a specification shared between these VMs. Each Habitat specification may define an image name, processing power, etc. A Habitat specification may exist across a cluster of servers. In some embodiments, to dynamically update a Habitat specification, only “spare” VMs in the Habitat are updated, subject to some scheduling parameters and server concurrency limit. As spare VMs are updated, they move towards the new Habitat specification. Eventually, all VMs reach this goal over time, given sufficient spare VM resources. This approach can allow the service provided by the VMs to remain operational, thus maintaining the service level required for its users. This automated process can also eliminate or otherwise reduce human error either in the server removal / insertion from / to the cluster or in the VM update itself.

The present invention is directed to methods and apparatuses of medication management based upon active authorization of medication infusion by a clinician that can provide for effective management of an analyte in a patient's blood, reducing the opportunities for human error common with current manual systems while still placing final control of the medication management with the human clinician. For example, a semi-automated glucose management system can measure the glucose level in a patient's blood, recommend infusion parameters to a clinician who can authorize an infusion of glucose or insulin, and infuse the glucose or insulin into the patient.

The accuracy of configuration data within routers of a network are critical in today's networks for security of the network, efficient operating of the network and to ensure corporate requirements, such as redundancy, are met. Since configuration data is typically entered and modified manually by technicians, considerable human errors occur. A configuration validation system provides an automated capability to ensure accuracy within the routers of a network. In this system, the validation is completed utilizing dynamically set conditions based upon the utilization of the router and a characteristic of the router, such as the model type. The utilization of the router includes the services that are supported by the router and the position of the router within the network, both of these criteria of the router having specific configuration requirements. The utilization of the routers can be detected by look-up within an inventory database and / or analysing the applicable configuration data. During the validation process, any discrepancies can be logged. At completion, these discrepancies can be listed within a report of configuration problems to be fixed or be automatically sent to the routers within the network to correct the configuration data.

An automated playlist chaser (APC) improves the recovery time and robustness of playlists to component failures and / or human errors in a content sourcing and editing environment. Following detection and correction of an error in a content sourcing subsystem controlled by a playlist, the APC retrieves a last known good playlist from a playlist archive and automatically builds a new playlist for resynchronization of the subsystem. Building the new playlist involves iteratively solving for the first new program segment entry in the new playlist and the new “on-air time,”“start-of message,” and “duration” attributes for the entry as a function of a reference time (e.g., the present time of day), the original on-air time for the entry, the subsystem recovery time, the APC processing time, and the queuing delay of the audio-video source for the program segment.

The Cooperative Biometrics Abnormality Detection (C-BAD) system is a network of sensors that track personnel throughout physical locations, communications, and computer systems. These systems are then linked to a central computer that contains detailed information on the individual, and rule-based risk, relationship, and abnormality models that will deter, detect, and document possible insiders. It is only at this point that C-BAD will then objectively report suspicious activities to a supervisory team for further investigation. (C-BAD) This System replaces previous current labor-intensive, subjective analysis, which has proven to be a weak deterrent and fraught with human error.
