To provide an enhanced customer service experience, various combinations of web searches, site-specific filtering tools and syndicated feed readers can be used to find relevant posts on the internet. Internal email, IM, phone, and the like can cooperate with an appropriately equipped expert-finding solution to assist with help in locating the experts qualified to respond to the post(s). The leveraging of RSS/Atom feeds or similar technology, content analysis, and contact center work distribution algorithms are leveraged to monitor the feeds from multiple sites and automatically distribute messages to appropriately skilled contact center agents. Each message discovered is analyzed to determine which contact center queue it is to be routed to, and then the contact center assigns it to an appropriate agent. This eliminates or significantly reduces the amount of manual searching and qualification of posts.

In certain aspects, the invention features a system that includes a number of grid-cluster schedulers, wherein each grid-cluster scheduler has software in communication with a number of computing resources, wherein each of the computing resources has an availability, and wherein the grid-cluster scheduler is configured to obtain a quantity of said computing resources as well as the availability and to allocate work for a client application to one or more of the computing resources based on the quantity and availability of the computing resources. In such aspects, the system further includes a meta-scheduler in communication with the grid-cluster schedulers, wherein the meta-scheduler is configured to direct work dynamically for one or more client applications to at least one of the grid-cluster schedulers based at least in part on data from each of the grid-cluster schedulers. Further aspects concern systems and methods that include: receiving, for computation by one or more clusters of a distributed computing system, work of a client application; sending a job to each cluster and gathering telemetry data based on a response from each cluster to the job; normalizing the telemetry data from each cluster; determining which of the clusters are able to accept the client application's work; and determining which of the clusters will receive a portion of the work.

The present invention is directed to balancing resource loads. In particular, the present invention is directed to assigning work to service locations having the greatest probability of servicing the work within a target time. Because an average wait time is not necessarily equal to a probability of servicing work within a target time, the present invention is useful in meeting service target goals. Because the present invention operates by comparing the probability of a defined set of service locations to one another, absolute probabilities need not be calculated. Instead, relative probabilities may be used in assigning work.

A high availability environment of resource adapters implements processes to manage and to distribute work among the adapters or adapter instances. An input resource, such as a file, is received and tasks are created to distribute the content to the different instances of the adapters that are configured in the cluster. A resource adapter instance switches to manage the creation of the task based on task-definitions of the adapter. The task-definitions are rules specified in the adapter on chunks of data. The tasks are created such that chunks of data are independently locked and processed without duplication. In order to distribute the work, the tasks are persisted into a table/xml on a persistent disk. The remaining instances interact with the table to access the tasks specified by the entries in the table, thus executing the tasks.
