The customer service inquiries are optionally routed to specific experts based on matches between identified subject matter of the inquiries and expertise of the experts. Embodiments include an expert system configured to identify clusters of inquiries that can be responded to using predetermined response content. The expert system is optionally trained based on scored responses to prior customer service inquiries.

In a distributed sensor network, one or more devices, for example, forming a collaborative group, are associated with a physical phenomenon based on geographical proximity. The sensor network is capable of detecting new phenomena and changing the membership of the collaborative group as the phenomenon changes. Sensors not associated with a detected phenomenon are available to detect new phenomenon, and one group may exist per phenomenon. Upon detection of a phenomenon, a group of nodes is formed and a leader node is elected. As the phenomenon changes over time, new devices come into proximity of the phenomenon and are prevented from forming independent groups associated with the phenomenon. This accomplished in a decentralized way with communication restricted to local neighbors. In a tracking sensor network using a relatively small number of sensors, the sensors are active and maintain a coherent belief associating their measurements with a single common vehicle.

A system is provided to optimize multiple boiler plant systems having mixed condensing and non-condensing boiler groups. The system advantageously employs the independent groups of boilers depending on preset conditions under control of a system control unit. The preset conditions are checked against operating conditions of the boiler plant, and a system control unit controls which of the groups of boilers is the lead and which is secondary. In some instances, both groups of boilers may be utilized under heavy load. Further, effective switching between groups and within groups is also provided to minimize unnecessary repetitive boiler operation.

The invention relates to a five-particle Brown state-based quantum grouping secret information comparison method. By the method, the secret information of two groups of users can be compared simultaneously by utilizing the Brown state, and the secret information is not leaked to a third party who performs comparison. The third party TP is semi-loyal, and can execute comparison honestly and record the comparison result; meanwhile, the third party TP may try to steal information from the record. The actual requirement is met and universality is achieved. A user can execute interception detection and loyalty detection on the TP after the TP distributes photons. The information is encoded by a participant, so that an eavesdropper, even if the TP, cannot know the respective secret information. Compared with the existing quantum secret comparison method, the method has the advantages that the secret information of the two independent groups of users can be compared simultaneously through one group of Brown state, and the secret information is not leaked to the third party who performs comparison.
