20110184905 | METHOD OF STORING AND ANALYSING DATA PRODUCED FROM INTERACTIONS BETWEEN EXTERNAL AGENTS AND A SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a method of storing data records produced from monitoring interactions between external agents and a system. The method comprises defining specific interactions that can occur between the external agents and the system as potential events of interest. A chain of interactions occurring during respective interaction sessions between a respective external agent and the system are monitored and potential events of interest occurring in the said chain are determined. Data records from the monitored chain of interactions are produced, the respective data record including data identifying determined potential events of interest and data associated therewith. A profile identity, representative of the external agent, is assigned to each data record produced during a said interaction session. Data records of individual potential events of interest are stored in a way that is ordered according to the type of potential event of interest and data records of potential events of interest occurring during an interaction session are stored in a way that is ordered according to assigned profile identity. | 07-28-2011 |

20110054654 | Creating Genetic Devices - Creating genetic devices for use in micro-organisms or other biological systems is described. In an embodiment a computer system receives at a program editor, input specifying a plurality of part designs, at least some of which comprise part properties expressed as logical variables; and the input also specifies constraints on the logical variables. For example, the input is a computer program which specifies constraints on the logical variables which, for example, relate to properties of the DNA sequences such as reactions and biological behaviors. In an example, a compiler resolves the constraints using a database of genetic parts in order to generate candidate parts for the proposed genetic device. In examples the sequences of genetic parts are translated into reactions and simulated using an automated simulator and/or implemented in a living cell or other biological system. In embodiments the compiler also uses a database of reactions. | 03-03-2011 |

20120271610 | STOCHASTIC SIMULATION OF MULTI-LANGUAGE CONCURRENT SYSTEMS - A common framework provides for concurrently simulating a broad range of modeling languages with an arbitrary stochastic simulation method. The common framework is instantiated to each modeling language by defining a species function and a reactions function. The species function converts a model of the modeling language to a set of species, and the reactions function computes a set of possible reactions from a given set of species. The common framework is instantiated to a particular simulation method by defining three functions: one for computing the next reaction, another for computing the reaction activity from an initial set of reactions and species populations, and another for updating the reaction activity as the species populations change over time. Accordingly, the common framework compiles a set of species and possible reactions, dynamically updates the set of possible reactions, and selects the next reaction in an iterative cycle. | 10-25-2012 |

20100250893 | BATCHED VIRTUAL MEMORY REMAPPING FOR EFFICIENT GARBAGE COLLECTION OF LARGE OBJECT AREAS - A method and system for batched remapping of virtual addresses for garbage collection in a large object area. A mapping from a table having a first set of virtual addresses and sizes of non-contiguous, page-aligned large objects in a large object area to a remapping table having a second set of virtual addresses is determined. In a single batch, a request is received that includes the second set of virtual addresses and requests a remapping of the large objects to the second set of virtual addresses. The second set of virtual memory addresses is validated. The large objects are remapped to the second set of virtual memory addresses according to the request. The remapping results in a compaction so that the large objects are contiguous in the large object area. The remapping does not require copying data in physical memory. | 09-30-2010 |
