IMPACT Agent Development System
Published Wednesday, October 11, 2000An intelligent agent is a program that gathers information or performs other services without a user's immediate presence and on a regular schedule. Typically, an agent program, using pre-set parameters, searches and gathers information of interest on a network, and presents it to the user on a periodic basis. For example, agents have been...

Bistro: A System for Building Scalable Wide-Area Upload Applications
Published Wednesday, May 23, 2001Tremendous increases in network traffic are a major obstacle to achieving scalability in the Internet and other large networks. At the application layer, hot spots are usually caused by either (a) high demand for some data or (b) high demand for a certain service. Hot spots in download applications mostly result from a demand for popular data...

Intersymbol Interference (ISI) Removal in Data Recovery
Published Tuesday, January 2, 2007This invention discloses a novel approach for recovering mission-critical hard disk data that are unreadable due to hardware failures of the drive systems (such as a head crash or a faulty spindle). Under these circumstances, read channel techniques like PRML (partial response maximum likelihood) often cannot correctly detect the data because...

Multi-Objective Collaborative Robust Optimization (McRO)
Published Tuesday, August 19, 2008BackgroundEngineering design optimization methods involving “complex” systems often fall under Multi-disciplinary Design Optimization (MDO), where complex refers to a system whose analysis involves multiple coupled subsystems (or disciplines). Several techniques have previously been developed and applied to single-objective optimization...

Indexing RDF and Temporal RDF Databases
Published Sunday, May 17, 2009Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a widely used World Wide Web Consortium standard. However, the indexing of large volumes of data still poses many difficulties, with methods of indexing still being developed. A certain type of RDF query, a graph based query, necessitates the traversal of edges in the graph determined by an RDF database...

Real-Time, 3-Dimensional, Massive Terrain and Dynamic Animated Data Visualization System
Published Monday, July 27, 2009Real-time transportation data visualization systems have been slow to evolve and current advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) and advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) still used 2D traffic maps to display a graphic of the local roads that are color coded to communicate speed and volume. Such a representation severely limits the end-...
