The invention generally relates to management of cryptographic key generations in an information environment comprising a key-producing side generating and distributing key information to a key-consuming side. A basic concept of the invention is to define, by means of a predetermined one-way key derivation function, a relationship between generations of keys such that earlier generations of keys efficiently may be derived from later ones but not the other way around. A basic idea according to the invention is therefore to replace, at key update, key information of an older key generation by the key information of the new key generation on the key-consuming side. Whenever necessary, the key-consuming side iteratively applies the predetermined one-way key derivation function to derive key information of at least one older key generation from the key information of the new key generation. In this way, storage requirements on the key-consuming side can be significantly reduced.

Computerized method and system for deriving a statistical reservoir model of associations between injecting wells and producing wells. Potential injector events are interactively identified from time series measurement data of flow rates at the wells, with confirmation that some response to those injector events appears at producing wells. Gradient analysis is applied to cumulative production time series of the producing wells, to identify points in time at which the gradient of cumulative production changes by more than a threshold value. The identified potential producer events are spread in time and again thresholded. An automated association program rank orders injector-producer associations according to strength of the association. A capacitance-resistivity reservoir model is evaluated, using the flow rate measurement data, for the highest-ranked injector-producer associations. Additional associations are added to subsequent iterations of the reservoir model, until improvement in the uncertainty in the evaluated model parameters is not statistically significant.

Given a source text, a desired translation of the source text into a target language, and a machine-readable dictionary, a first set of morphemes in the target language is generated from the source text, typically by using the dictionary to perform a machine translation of the source text. The second text is analyzed into a second set of morphemes in the target language. Differences between the first and second sets of morphemes are found, and morphemes corresponding to the differences are taken from the source text. Existing information including these source-text morphemes is extracted from the dictionary, and new information to be added to the dictionary is automatically generated from the extracted information and the differences. This process generates comparatively short dictionary entries, corresponding only to the differences between the two set of morphemes, and therefore creates useful dictionary entries while saving dictionary space.
