Filed:

Sep 11, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/558089

Inventors:

Yunwu Huang - Chappaqua NY, US
Yue Zhang - Pittsburgh PA, US

Assignee:

INTERNATIONL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G01C 21/00

US Classification:

705 9, 701300, 701204

Abstract:

Discloses a computer-implemented apparatus for dynamic event planning for a plurality of attendees. Included is an event scheduler to schedule, update and delete events for the plurality of attendees, an event location finder invoked by the event scheduler to select at least one event location having an available timeslot for an event for the plurality of attendees, a transition requirement monitor invoked by the event scheduler to estimate a transition time from an origin location to the event location to determine if the available timeslot is feasible for the event, and a dynamic location tracker to track a location of the plurality of attendees and generate an event exception notice for the plurality of attendees if at least one attendee will be unable to attend the event at the event location at the available timeslot. Also disclosed is a computer-implemented method for dynamic event planning for a plurality of attendees and a computer program product for dynamic event planning for a plurality of attendees.

International Classification:

G16H 10/40
G01N 35/00
G16H 40/20

Abstract:

An optimization method of a diagnostic laboratory system. The method includes receiving, at a system controller, computer-readable data comprising an inventory of a plurality of analyzers included within the diagnostic laboratory system, and types of tests and numbers of the tests to be performed on samples by the diagnostic laboratory system over a planning period; and determining, via a reagent pack optimization module executing on the system controller, a reagent pack loading plan over the planning period. Diagnostic laboratory systems are disclosed, as are other aspects.

Abstract:

Systems and methods include an optimization-based load planning module for laboratory analyzers of bio-fluid samples. The optimization-based load planning module is executable on a computer server and is configured to optimize assay (lab test) assignments across a large number of laboratory analyzers based on one or more of the following user selected and weighted objectives: reduced turn-around-time, load balancing, efficient reagent usage, lower quality assurance costs, and/or improved system robustness. The optimization-based load planning module outputs a load plan comprising computer executable instructions configured to cause a system controller of a laboratory analyzer system to schedule and direct each requested test to be performed at one or more selected laboratory analyzers of the laboratory analyzer system in accordance with the user selected and weighted objectives. Other aspects are also described.
