International Classification:

G06F 17/00
G06F 17/20

US Classification:

706 11

Abstract:

A system is disclosed that includes an interface to receive a resource governance rule applicable to one or more hardware resources supporting a monitored software application. The system includes utilization logic to measure usage of a particular hardware resource by the monitored software application. An available utilization of the particular hardware resource is determined based on the resource governance rule, and a total utilization of the particular hardware resource is also determined. One or more utilization metrics are determined based on historical usage of the particular hardware resource as compared to a governed capacity and a non-governed capacity available to the particular hardware resource. The system also includes recommendation logic to determine a recommended action to be taken with respect to the monitored software application.

Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - REDMOND WA

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715772

Abstract:

A method includes displaying a plurality of user modifiable utilization views of a monitored software application, where each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views is customizable to fit a domain of analysis by identifying one or more resource types of multiple resource components. Each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views is displayed in one more graphical user interfaces. The method includes determining a desired ordering of the one or more resource types within a hierarchy of types and filtering one or more details of the multiple resource components to create a customized view. A user can navigate between each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views to dynamically construct related target analysis views including filtered details across one or more other domains of analysis.

Abstract:

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for constructing a complementary calendar and/or a shadow calendar. A user may maintain a primary calendar within which the user may schedule user specified tasks and/or meetings, but may inadvertently omit other entries. Accordingly, a complementary calendar may be constructed based upon inferences derived from user signal data (e.g., information used to identify/infer activities of the user, such as social network profile information, messages, temporal information, locational information, documents, etc.). The complementary calendar may be automatically populated with entries corresponding to inferences derived from user signals and/or real-time conditions (e.g., weather, store hours, traffic conditions, etc.). The primary calendar and the complementary calendar may be merged to create a shadow calendar. The complementary calendar and/or the shadow calendar may be displayed to the user and/or may be used to provide dynamic notifications and/or suggestions to the user (e.g. regarding conflicting entries/obligations, etc.).

Abstract:

Technology related to an activity feed service is disclosed. In one example of the disclosed technology, a method can include receiving updates to activity streams, where a respective activity stream indicates an engagement of a respective user with applications executing on a respective client device connected to a network. The different activity streams associated with a particular user can be merged to generate a merged activity stream associated with the particular user. The different received activity streams can correspond to different respective client devices. The merged activity stream associated with the particular user can be transmitted over the network.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0482
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Techniques are described for obtaining user activity information and navigational mnemonic information. The activity information and navigational mnemonic information can be used to control information presented in displays in a manner that can assist a user in locating an activity using displayed navigational mnemonics. User activity information can include an application identifier and a content identifier. Navigational mnemonic information can include a resource identifier and a relevance identifier. A user can search for activities based on a relationship between a navigational mnemonic and an activity, such as a temporal relationship. Applications can register both activity information and navigational mnemonic information through an interface, and a navigational mnemonic feed service can provide navigation mnemonics that are not directly related to user activity on user computer devices.

Abstract:

A computer system provides an automated tool that processes audio data and data about computer operating context to automatically capture information, such as information from conversations and meetings. The computer operating context can include, for example, environmental data sensed, or other contextual information maintained or tracked, by the computer. The audio data and computer operating context are processed by the computer to detect starting conditions for data extraction. After detecting a starting condition, the processor initiates speech processing on the audio information to generate corresponding text data. The processor processes the text data using text filters that define salient patterns in the text data. Such salient patterns can correspond to, for example, tasks to be performed, follow-up appointments and other events, messages to be sent, important points or notes, and the like. Such automatic processing improves user productivity in tracking valuable information from meetings and other conversations.
