    摘要: An acceleration device for enhancing the speed of synchronous writes in a computer system includes a novel control means, in one embodiment a device driver, and stable storage having an access time on the same order of magnitude as the access time of the main memory in the computer system. In one embodiment, the novel device driver is interposed in the operating system of the computer between the proprietary kernel and one or more peripheral storage unit device drivers. The novel device driver intercepts I/O commands, for example, synchronous write commands, from the operating system that are intended for one of the peripheral storage unit device drivers and subsequently copies the data specified in the write command from main memory of the computer to the stable storage of the acceleration device. The stable storage is operated as a cache and upon one of a set of predetermined conditions being satisfied, selected data stored in the stable storage are transferred, i.e., flushed to the appropriate peripheral storage device using the device driver for that storage device. Further, the stable storage in the acceleration device preserves data written to the device when either the computer system or a peripheral storage device coupled to the acceleration device goes into an error condition.

    摘要: A financial transaction network employs a shareholder network serviced by a host processor. The financial network maintains (n) number of mutual fund portfolios operating in different currencies. The host processor acts a communications switch validating incoming transaction requests and routing them to a central Transfer Agent system for execution. The host processor maintains central records that can be queried through the host. The Transfer Agent is responsible for updating the database. The financial network provides accessibility, speed and finality of settlement in transactions by using mutual fund shares in diverse currencies as substitutes for those currencies.

    摘要: Inference management to estimate conflicting strategies for automatic presentation of a reliable strategy. Where a conflict is generated, the inferring are executed in parallel using replicated knowledge objects Hypothetical situation control includes a hypothetical situation relational table for describing the relationships between the strategies and hypothetical situations, an estimated contents decision program for fetching a hypothetical situation that is not usually generated when strategies are adopted from the hypothetical situation relational table to establish such hypothetical situation by interacting with the user, an estimated contents recording table for recording in a group the inferring results, estimated strategies, hypothetical situations and current situation data before the estimate with an estimate case number, and a hypothetical situation control program for controlling the inferring for the inferring results, for fetching hypothetical situations corresponding to a strategy to be estimated and for executing an estimate of its result.

    摘要: The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for directing a user request for content over a network to a given content server on the basis of one or more rules. The method of the present invention comprises receiving a request for content form a user, the request for content including a profile of the user identifying one or more characteristics associated with the user. One or more rules are retrieved for identifying a content server to which a request for content is to be delivered, the one or more rules including at least one of business rules, network rules, and user profile rules. The one or more retrieved rules are applied to the request for content to identify a content server to which the request for content is to be delivered and the request for content is delivered to the identified content server.

    摘要: Developing decision-making skills of a user through practice in a simulated environment comprises defining a simulated situation to be influenced by the user including a set of objects that are represented by an attribute-characteristic representation, presenting information concerning a current state of the simulation, obtaining decisions from the user that at least partially determine object designs to be evaluated, evaluating an object design using a value function having multiple optima, updating the simulation with the results from the evaluation, and permitting continued practice by selectively repeating several of these steps. A system executes simulation software that simulates such a situation on a processor, and includes evaluation software for selecting and evaluating design objects by applying a value function having multiple optima. At least one terminal and communication links are provided for information transfer and implementation of the simulated situation. Diagnosis of the user's cognitive approach is also disclosed.
