Appl. No.:

12/047705

Inventors:

Tarun Kumar - Ossining NY, US
Gyana Ranjan Parija - Briarcliff Manor NY, US
Haifeng Xi - Yorktown Heights NY, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/50
G06F 7/60

US Classification:

703 2

Abstract:

A computer implemented method for determining an alternative representation of an optimization model reduces model input through compact representation of model parameters. Model generation is performed at varying levels of complexity (approximation) depending on pre-defined, business approved thresholds. The computer receives a set of functions representing a set of events where each function includes sets of first and second axis coordinate values. Each of the functions are transformed to a compacted function which includes a set of pieces including an anchor point, break points, and slopes. Successive pieces having the same slope value are removed. Alternate optimization models are generated based on the set of pieces representing a compacted function and on a predetermined accuracy value.

US Classification:

705 7, 705 8

Abstract:

The present invention provides a system and method for strategic budgeting of initial response for managing wildfires. According to the present invention, stochastic-integer-programming-based constrained optimization techniques are employed to develop a strategic budget by optimally allocating disaster management resources to disaster events belonging to scenarios associated with occurrence probabilities. According to the invention, certain machine-readable data describing fires may be subjected to computerized data processing, ultimately producing a determination of valid disaster management resources for each fire event, which may be used for strategic budgeting of initial responses for managing wildfires.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 711

Abstract:

A method (and system) of providing optimization repeatability in an on-demand computing environment removes variability in an optimization model instance and can be exemplarily implemented in a service architecture. The method and system receives a plurality of physical data instances, which are different representations of the same logical data model, and transforms the plurality of physical data instances into a normalized physical data instance, which can be combined with an optimization model to form a unique optimization model instance, thereby providing repeatability in solving optimization problems.

Tarun Kumar - South River NJ, US

International Classification:

B65G 67/02

US Classification:

414537

Abstract:

A sports equipment transporting apparatus is described. The apparatus is designed to be put into a vehicle with a mid- to long-size body length and is housed within a ramp housing. The ramp housing is two-tiered and includes a slide-out ramp located within the upper tier, with the ramp being mounted on a pair of guide tracks. The lower tier includes a storage compartment and a spare tire compartment. The rear entry of the vehicle is modified so that the top door panel becomes a roll-out door panel, with two swinging doors attached that pivot outwards ninety degrees. When the ramp is fully extended from the ramp housing, the ramp angles downward and touches an external ground surface. Once a piece of sports equipment has been placed on top of the ramp housing, a series of tie-downs are utilized to keep the sports equipment in place.

Abstract:

A system and method of managing a network that includes assets are described. The method includes modeling the network as a directed graph with each of the assets represented as a node and determining alternative paths to each node from each available corresponding source of the node. The method also includes computing upstream robustness of each node, computing upstream robustness of the network, and computing downstream criticality of each node. Managing the network and each asset of the network is based on the upstream robustness and the downstream criticality of each node.

Abstract:

Technical solutions are described for predicting linepack delays. An example method includes receiving temporal sensor measurements of a first fluid-delivery pipeline network and generating a causality graph of the first fluid-delivery pipeline network. The method also includes determining a topological network of the stations based on the causality graph, where the topological network identifies a temporal delay between a pair of stations. The method also includes generating a temporal delay prediction model based on the topological network and predicting the linepack delays of a second fluid-delivery pipeline network based on the temporal delay prediction model, where a compressor station of the second fluid-delivery pipeline network compresses fluid based on the predicted linepack delays to maintain a predetermined pressure.
