The second bit array describes characteristics of an event cohort, which is made up of entities, other than the single entity, which also experience the second event, but which never experienced the first event. When another single entity experiences the first event, a determination is made as to whether that other single entity has characteristics from both the first bit array and the second bit array. If so, a prediction is made that the other single entity will also experience the second event. | 04-19-2012 |

20120095948 | COHORT-BASED PREDICTION OF A FUTURE EVENT - A processor-implemented method, computer program product, and/or computer system predicts a future event. A first bit array, which describes characteristics of a single entity while experiencing a first event, is generated using values received from a set of physical test devices. After the first single entity experiences a different second event, a second bit array is generated from another set of physical test devices. The second bit array describes characteristics of an event cohort, which is made up of entities, other than the single entity, which also experience the second event, but which never experienced the first event. When another single entity experiences the first event, a determination is made as to whether that other single entity has characteristics from both the first bit array and the second bit array. If so, a prediction is made that the other single entity will also experience the second event. | 04-19-2012 |

This can be time based using a global logical timestamp. The disclosed architecture, used for refreshing stale clones, does not preserve user transaction boundaries, which is a more complex situation than where the boundaries are preserved. In such a scenario it is probable that for a given data segment no clone of the segment may contain the complete user transaction history, and hence, the history has to be pieced together from the logs of multiple different clones. This is accomplished such that log harvesting is coordinated with the clone state transitions to ensure the correctness of logical replication. | 07-10-2014 |
