摘要： An auditing system is disclosed comprising a Policy Validation Mechanism Program (PVMP) that operates in conjunction with a Workflow Engine (WE), and a Policy Validation Server Program (PVSP) that operates on a Policy Validation Server (PVS) connected to the WE by a secure communication link. The PVMP converts a workflow to a workflow representation (WR) and sends the WR to the PVS. The PVSP compares the steps in the WR to a security policy identified for that WR and determines whether the WR is in compliance. In addition, the PVSP validates a checksum for the WR and logs the checksum for subsequent comparisons. The PVSP uses the checksum to determine whether a policy has changed during execution of the workflow.

摘要： The invention, referred to herein as PeaCoCk, uses a unique blend of technologies from statistics, information theory, and graph theory to quantify and discover patterns in relationships between entities, such as products and customers, as evidenced by purchase behavior. In contrast to traditional purchase-frequency based market basket analysis techniques, such as association rules which mostly generate obvious and spurious associations, PeaCoCk employs information-theoretic notions of consistency and similarity, which allows robust statistical analysis of the true, statistically significant, and logical associations between products. Therefore, PeaCoCk lends itself to reliable, robust predictive analytics based on purchase-behavior.

摘要： An inter-processor communication approach is applicable to a message passing pattern called iterative exchange. In such patterns, two processors exchange messages, then perform a computation, and then this process is repeated. If two sets of send and receive buffers are used, then it is possible to guarantee that a receive buffer on the receiver's side is always available to receive the message. A message passing system controls which buffers are used for sending and receiving. These buffers are registered beforehand, thereby avoiding repeated registration at the time messages are sent. The sender is initially informed of all the possible receive buffers that the receiver will use, and the sender then uses these receive buffers alternately. Examples of this approach can avoid the use of multiple-step rendezvous protocols, memory copies, and memory registrations when a message needs to be sent.
