1. A method of assigning network resource between users of a network, comprising:
monitoring a measure of user experience of users accessing a service within the network;
determining a current level of user satisfaction with the service accessed for users within the network; and
distributing network resource between users to minimize the number of users exhibiting a level of user satisfaction that is below a first threshold level.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a current level of user satisfaction comprises assessing the monitored measure of user experience against a satisfaction threshold level.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a current level of user satisfaction comprises extracting a level of user satisfaction from the measure of user experience.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises extracting a current level of service functionality from the measure of user experience, and associating the level of service functionality and corresponding user satisfaction in a stored user profile.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the method further comprises determining a current network resource allocation and associating the level of service functionality with the current network resource allocation in a service information database.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a current level of user satisfaction comprises reading a level of user satisfaction from an appropriate user profile.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a current level of user satisfaction comprises:
reading a level of service functionality associated with the measure of user experience from a service information database; and
reading the level of user satisfaction associated with the level of service functionality from an appropriate user profile.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein distributing network resource comprises:
identifying a first user exhibiting a level of user satisfaction that is below the threshold level;
identifying a second user exhibiting a level of user satisfaction that satisfies a high satisfaction criterion; and
reassigning network resource from the second user to the first user.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein distributing network resource further comprises:
determining the amount of additional network resource required to increase the satisfaction level of the first user to above the threshold level; and
reassigning the determined amount of network resource.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
determining the new level of satisfaction of the first user;
assessing whether or not the new level of satisfaction is greater than the threshold level; and
if the satisfaction level is not greater than the threshold level, repeating the steps of identifying a second user and reassigning network resource.
11. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a code configured, when run on a computer, to execute the method of claim 1.
12. A system for assigning network resource between users of a network, comprising:
a monitoring unit configured to monitor a measure of user experience of users accessing a service within the network;
a determining unit configured to determine a current level of user satisfaction with the service accessed for users within the network; and
a distributing unit configured to distribute network resource between users to minimize the number of users exhibiting a level of user satisfaction that is below a threshold level.
13. The system of claim 12, further comprising a user profile storage, configured to hold at least one user profile associating user satisfaction with service functionality.
14. The system of claim 12, wherein the system further comprises a service information database configured to store network resource allocation and corresponding service functionality for services available on the network.
15. The system of claim 12, wherein the distributing unit comprises a resource management unit and an allocation unit, wherein the resource management unit is configured to:
identify a first user exhibiting a level of user satisfaction that is below the threshold level;
identify a second user exhibiting a level of user satisfaction that satisfies a high satisfaction criterion; and
determine an amount of network resource for reallocation;
and wherein the allocation unit is configured to:
reassign the determined amount of network resource from the second user to the first user.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A process within an epi-fluorescence system for identifying and enumerating fluorescent in situ hybridization (\u201cFISH\u201d) signals produced with respect to nuclear components hybridized in situ with fluorescent markers comprising;
acquiring using an epi-fluorescence microscope a plurality of images at different focal planes in each fluorescence channel corresponding to the hybridized FISH markers;
selecting a best focused image from said plurality of images for each nucleus;
selecting for each nucleus the one focal plane above and the one focal plane below the focal plane of said best focused image in which the image is best focused;
combining said images from the one focal plane above and below said best focused image with said best focused image of each said nucleus to produce a combined image for said nucleus;
analyzing the combined image of each nucleus to separate background pixels from signal pixels, and to determine areas of produced signals corresponding to pre-set size and shape criteria corresponding to a non-artifactual target; and,
outputting results of said analyzing step on a display.
