Smoothing peak system load via behavior prediction in collaborative systems with temporal data access patterns
First Claim

1. A computer-implemented method of smoothing system loads in a collaborative system, the method comprising:
- recording a plurality of times at which a first user first accesses a resource relative to a predefined time criteria;
averaging the plurality of times to generate determining, based on the recorded times, an average first access time for the resource;
preemptively accessing, based on the determined average first access time and a use of the resource being less than a predetermined threshold, the resource on behalf of the first user without an explicit access request from the first user, wherein the preemptively accessing is done on the basis of the average first access time and the use of the resource being below a predetermined threshold;
caching first data based on the preemptive access;
providing the first user with access to the cached first data;
accessing the resource on behalf of a second user without an explicit access request from the second user;
caching second data based on the access on behalf of the second user; and
discarding the second data following a specified period of time subsequent to caching the second data.

Abstract
Techniques are described above for smoothing peak load in collaborative systems. One embodiment includes, prior to a predicted peak load period, pre-staging user-data associated with one or more users of the collaborative system. During the predicted peak load period, a request from a first one of the users for access to the pre-staged user-data associated with the first user is received. And in response to the request, the pre-staged user-data is provided to the first user.

8. A computer program product for smoothing system loads in a collaborative system, the computer program product comprising:
a computer-readable device having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to; record a plurality of times at which a first user first accesses a resource relative to a predefined time criteria; determine, based on the recorded times, an average first access time for the resource; access, based on the determined average first access time and a use of the resource being less than a predetermined threshold, the resource on behalf of the first user without an explicit access request from the first user; cache first data based on the access; provide the first user with access to the cached first data; access the resource on behalf of a second user without an explicit access request from the second user; cache second data based on the access on behalf of the second user; and discard the second data following a specified period of time subsequent to caching the second data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system to smooth system loads in a collaborative system, the system comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; a memory containing a program which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, performs an operation comprising; recording a plurality of times at which a first user first accesses a resource relative to a predefined time criteria; determining, based on the recorded times, an average first access time for the resource; accessing, based on the determined average first access time and a use of the resource being less than a predetermined threshold, the resource on behalf of the first user without an explicit access request from the first user; caching first data based on the access; providing the first user with access to the cached first data; accessing the resource on behalf of a second user without an explicit access request from the second user; caching second data based on the access on behalf of the second user; and discarding the second data following a specified period of time subsequent to caching the second data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
