| 20090046726 | VIRTUAL NETWORK WITH ADAPTIVE DISPATCHER - Methods and systems for providing a virtual network are disclosed. At least one layer of abstraction is created between network service applications and conventional network protocols by inserting an adaptive dispatcher between applications and network transport services on each machine in a network. The message protocol in the virtual network is extensible, allowing application programs to create new headers within any message as needed. The adaptive dispatcher contains handlers that route and dispatch messages within the virtual network based on arbitrary content within each message, including any combination of headers and/or data content. Each device on the virtual network has a virtual address to which messages are directed, allowing devices to move within the network without reconfiguring routing tables. Handlers may be automatically created when an event meeting predefined criteria occurs, including the non-occurrence of a condition, making the virtual network self-healing and adaptive to reconfiguration. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100088672 | COMPACT SYNTAX FOR DATA SCRIPTING LANGUAGE - The subject disclosure relates to a syntax for a scripting language that allows data intensive applications to be written in a compact, human friendly, textual format. The scripting language can be a declarative programming language, such as the “D” programming language, which is well suited to the authoring of data intensive programs. A compact query syntax is provided for D that simplifies the expression of complex and data intensive programs. In another non-limiting aspect, conventional operator precedence is modified to accommodate the compact syntax and other unique features of a general purpose declarative programming language. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100088686 | PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE WITH EXTENSIBLE SYNTAX - The subject disclosure relates to an extensible syntax for a scripting language that allows data intensive applications to be written in a compact, human friendly, textual format, and also according to self-defined syntax within the data intensive applications so that a single compilation unit of a program can support multiple syntaxes. An extensible syntax is provided for M that allows alternate syntaxes to be defined in line and then used in the program so as to accommodate user-defined syntaxes and other pre-existing domain specific languages. In one embodiment, the alternate syntaxes can be defined at pre-designated functional points in the program. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100094906 | MODULAR FOREST AUTOMATA - Modular forest automata (MFA) provide a unified description of partially-ordered regular tree patterns. MFAs provide simple methods for determinization, sub-typing, intersection, and complementation of these patterns. MFAs support high-performance pattern analysis and matching. Modular forest transducers, in conjunction with modular forest automata, enable compilers to place semantic actions on any state transition while supporting efficient transformation of labeled, directed graphs. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110078212 | Digests to Identify Elements in a Signature Process - A signature system with a mechanism to identify element(s) of a signed document includes a sender having a signature module with a digest generator. The digest generator generates digests for identifying selected elements of the document. The resulting “identifying” digests are then used in generating a signature in which the sender signs the digests rather than the original elements. The receiver can then process the signature and use these digests to distinguish between elements, as needed. | 03-31-2011 |
