Title: Automatic method for managing a computing system
Inventor: BOTOND VIRGINAS
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2016-12-09
Abstract: An autonomic method for controlling an algorithm operating on a computing system, and a device for implementing said method, the method comprising the steps of: generating a new rule for the algorithm, on a periodic basis, using a machine learning process; determining a rate relating to the generation of new rules for the algorithm, wherein said determination is performed at a first sampling rate; detecting a trigger relating to the computing system; and, in response, determining the rate relating to the generation of new rules for the algorithm at a second sampling rate. For example the algorithm receives an input of a telecommunications data set from a network management system that has originated from control units in a multi-terminal telecommunications network. The algorithm may then output an indication to an operator in a data centre to indicate a suggested most effective course of action is either to use an automatic restart signal or to send an engineer out.
