A method and apparatus for strategy science methodology involving computer implementation is provided. The invention includes a well-defined set of procedures for carrying out a full range of projects to develop strategies for clients. One embodiment of the invention produces custom consulting projects that are found at one end of the full range of projects. At the other end of the range are, for example, projects developing strategies from syndicated models. The strategies developed are for single decisions or for sequences of multiple decisions. Some parts of the preferred embodiment of the invention are categorized into the following areas: Team Development, Strategy Situation Analysis, Quantifying the Objective Function, Data Request and Reception, Data Transformation and Cleansing, Decision Key and Intermediate Variable Creation, Data Exploration, Decision Model Structuring, Decision Model Quantification, An Exemplary Score Tuner, Strategy Creation, An Exemplary Strategy Optimizer, An Exemplary Uncertainty Estimator, and Strategy Testing. Each of the sub-categories are described and discussed in detail under sections of the same headings. The invention uses judgment in addition to data for developing strategies for clients.

A communication terminal sends an access request to a WWW server connected to a network to a relay server in the network. The relay server sends this access request to the WWW server and receives display data from the WWW server and sends an advertisement ID specifying an advertisement satisfying a predefined condition to the communication terminal together with the display data. The communication terminal displays a screen by this display data and sends an advertisement data request including an advertisement ID received from the relay server through the relay server to an advertisement distribution server. When receiving an advertisement data request, the advertisement distribution server sends the advertisement ID contained in the advertisement data request to the communication terminal through the relay server. When receiving the advertisement data, the communication terminal displays an advertisement corresponding to the advertisement data along with the screen corresponding to the display data.

An apparatus and method defines a markup language for accessing data in a database. The markup language is preferably defined in extensible markup language (XML) by creating suitable document type definitions (DTDs), which define the grammar for accessing data in the database using the markup language. A bridge interprets the data request from the client in markup language format, a suitable database query for the database is formulated, and the data is then placed within a document for delivery in markup language format to the user. As new data types are added to the database, corresponding document type definitions (DTDs) may be dynamically generated, allowing a user to access new kinds of data in a database with a software tool that has a user-friendly graphical user interface without having to manually update the software tool for each new data type that is added to the database.

Provided is a method of receiving data from a vehicle onboard computer. The onboard computer is configured to transmit vehicle identification data in response to receipt of an identification request, which is transmitted in a basic communication protocol. The onboard computer is further configured to transmit private operational data in response to receipt of a private data request. The private data request is transmitted in a diagnostic protocol. The method includes connecting a scan tool to the onboard computer, and polling the onboard computer to identify the basic communication protocol. The identification request is then transmitted to the onboard computer. Vehicle identification data is subsequently received from the onboard computer. A protocol database having a plurality of diagnostic protocols is then accessed. Each diagnostic protocol is associated with respective vehicle identification data. The diagnostic protocol is then determined based on the received vehicle identification data.

Analyzing computer code using a tree is described. For example, a client device generates a data request for retrieving data from a non-trusted entity via a network. A gateway is communicatively coupled to the client device and to the network. The gateway is configured to receive computer code from the non-trusted entity via the network. The gateway builds a tree representing the computer code. The tree has one or more nodes. A node of the tree represents a statement from the computer code. The gateway analyzes the statement to identify symbol data. The symbol data describes a name of the variable and the value of the variable. The gateway stores the symbol data in a symbol table.

Some of these new methods harness distributed computing capabilities to integrate biometric abstraction processes, wireless network connectivity, and specialized software for mediation, to produce a unified result set. A mediator that enables rapid health care support is used in a computer system having a database of information to be shared with authorized requesters, under privacy rules or other pre-defined constraints. The methods, using specialized software for mediation, are preferably enabled to process a securely transmitted remote data request as a query to verify or identify an individual, whether it is sent via a network that is wireless in any part, or not. Upon receiving a remote request, typically sent by a requesting application other than one operated by the individual who is the subject of the request, the mediator uses the individual's transformed biometric data of the request to rapidly advance query resolution, under all query preprocessing rules, and query results post-processing rules, that apply.

Data transfer over an network is effected in a manner that facilitates the use of available communications channels and makes possible enhanced data routing control and monitoring. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, data is transferred over a network having a plurality of communication links. A home (e.g., data source) node coupled to the network supplies data for transfer on the network. A network-distributed application routing controller is implemented at a host server and at the home node, and is configured for controlling the home node for passing data on the network. A data request from a remote network access appliance, such as a laptop or mobile telephone, is received at the host server. In response to the request, the host server implements the network-distributed application routing controller to transfer data from a home node to the remote network access appliance.

A system for processing data requests from clients via a network is disclosed. The system has an application server coupled to a network, and a semantic firewall to pass and filter the content between the application server and the clients. The application server provides content from a database to the clients via the network, and the semantic firewall restricts access to a portion of the content for one or more clients.

A system includes a packet reader configured to scan packets transmitted through a network for pre-specified criteria. The packets include endpoint information and data. A request/response matcher determines whether each packet meets pre-specified criteria, and matches request packets with corresponding response packets when the packets meet the pre-specified criteria. A message analyzer determines the format, or structure, of the data of the matched packets, and analyzes the data of the matched packets to generate at least a portion of a model of the data.

A system for minimizing downtime in an appliance-based business continuance architecture is provided. The system includes at least one primary data storage and least one primary host machine. The system includes an intercept agent to intercept primary host machine data requests, and to collect information associated with the intercepted data requests. Moreover, at least one business continuance appliance in communication with the primary host machine and in communication with a remote backup site is provided. The appliance receives information associated with the intercepted data requests from the intercept agent. In addition, a local cache is included within the business continuance appliance. The local cache maintains copies of primary data storage according to the information received. Furthermore, the remote site is provided with the intercepted data requests via the business continuance appliance, wherein the remote site maintains a backup of the primary data storage.
