A system and a method for dynamically detecting computer viruses through associative behavioral analysis of runtime state are described. A group of monitored events is defined. Each monitored event includes a set of one or more actions defined within an object. Each action is performed by one or more applications executing within a defined computing environment. The runtime state within the defined computing environment is continuously monitored for an occurrence of any one of the monitored events in the group. The sequence of the execution of the monitored events is tracked for each of the applications. Each occurrence of a specific event sequence characteristic of computer virus behavior and the application that performed the specific event sequence, are identified. A histogram describing the specific event sequence occurrence for each of the applications is created. Repetitions of the histogram associated with at least one object are identified.

An automation benefit of an automated call processing center is quantified as saved agent-time by gathering event-sequence data for a plurality of calls received by the call processing center; calculating an amount of time a task would take if performed by an agent instead of by an automated unit, wherein the task is capable of being performed by the automated unit; examining the event-sequence data to determine whether the task, which is capable of being performed in the automated unit, actually was performed in the automated unit for the plurality of calls; determining an automation rate for the task by calculating what percentage of calls involving the task actually was performed by the automated unit; and calculating an automation benefit by multiplying the automation rate by an amount of agent-time saved by performing the task in the automated unit instead of by an agent, wherein the amount of agent-time saved corresponds to the amount of time the task would take if performed by an agent.

An image capture system for capturing images of an object, such as the Earth. The image capture system includes a moving platform, at least two image capture devices, a position system, an event multiplexer and a computer system. The image capture devices are mounted to the moving platform. Each image capture device has a sensor for capturing an image and an event channel providing an event signal indicating the capturing of an image by the sensor. The position system records data indicative of a position as a function of time related to the moving platform. The event multiplexer has at least two image capture inputs and at least one output port. Each image capture input receives event signals from the event channel of one of the image capture devices. The event multiplexer outputs information indicative of an order of events indicated by the event signals, and identification of image capture devices providing the event signals. The computer system receives and stores the information indicative of the order of events indicated by the event signals, and identification of image capture devices providing the event signals.
