A security assessment scheduling tool uses a configuration file that is configurable via a user interface, to specify one or more elements of an application to be analyzed during the scoping process. Further, the security assessment scheduling tool may automatically schedule assessments for large numbers of applications using one or more constraining optimization techniques and/or via modeling the scheduling problem as an RCPSP problem. The security assessment scheduling tool processes the RCPSP problem for a defined period of time and then schedules remaining unscheduled applications within a specified time period thereby allowing the security assessment scheduling tool to schedule assessments of tens of thousands of applications.

An online agricultural system manages and optimizes interactions of entities within the system to enable the execution of transaction and the transportation of crop products. The online agricultural system accesses historic and environmental data describing factors that may impact crop product transactions and/or transportation to determine market prices for crop products and crop product transportation. Responsive to receiving a request from an entity, the online agricultural system determines an optimal transaction for the entity, such as a price for selling a crop product, an available crop product for purchase, or a transportation opportunity to transport a crop product.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The user's preview may be based upon a two-dimensional image of a wear pattern in a laser input file and, from a set of two-dimensional images of a base garment, create a three-dimensional view of the base garment with the wear pattern.

A restaurant service system for assessing the accuracy of estimated delivery time provided by a restaurant includes an order server, a restaurant server, a service server, and an assessment server. Each of the servers includes a server software application. The order server software application collects a set of orders from a set of diner devices. The restaurant server software application retrieves an estimated delivery time for each order in the set. The service server software application determines an order actual delivery time for at least one order in the set. The assessment server software application determines an accuracy measure of estimated delivery time for the restaurant.

A method of, and system for, estimating a consumption value of a consumption device from a set of consumption devices (CDs). The method includes storing in a memory of a computer a model indicative of dependency between consumption relationships of CDs from the set of CDs, and transforming the operational measured value into estimated consumption values of one or more CDs, wherein transforming is provided by a processor operatively connected to the memory using the model stored in the memory.

A replanned plan output device that outputs a replanned plan for an operation plan of performing planned schedules in order by an operation of a vehicle in charge, includes: a replanned candidate determination unit configured to, when a difficult-to-perform schedule that becomes difficult to be performed by the vehicle in charge among the planned schedules occurs, determine another vehicle as a candidate for a substitute vehicle for performing the difficult-to-perform schedule; and a substitute vehicle selection unit configured to, when a plurality of candidates for the substitute vehicle are set, select the substitute vehicle for performing the difficult-to-perform schedule from the plurality of candidates for the substitute vehicle in consideration of the number of changes of the vehicle in charge and an additional cost of each of the schedules specified in the operation plan.

The present disclosure describes transaction-enabling systems and methods. A system can include a controller and a fleet of machines, each having at least one of a compute task requirement, a networking task requirement, and an energy consumption task requirement. The controller may include a resource requirement circuit to determine an amount of a resource for each of the machines to service the task requirement for each machine, a forward resource market circuit to access a forward resource market, and a resource distribution circuit to execute an aggregated transaction of the resource on the forward resource market.
