Systems and methods for management of intangible assets are provided that allow effective management of intangible assets. The intangible asset management system and method include a computer based intangible asset management system for storing, managing, disseminating and sharing intangible asset information of an entity among users, the system comprising: a user interface that displays options for a user to enter, view, and edit some or all of the intangible asset information from one or more modules; a database coupled to the user interface for storing the intangible asset information and a processor coupled to the user interface and the database, the processor to: receive intangible asset information from the user; process and organize the intangible asset information into at least one module; store the intangible asset information in the database by module; update the database with any new intangible asset information received from the user; and provide the updated intangible asset information in response to an inquiry from a second user.

A system and method are disclosed which quantify one or more attributes of a finite number of resources for effective management of such resources. Quantifiable attributes possessed by a resource may include skills or functional capabilities possessed by the resources, as examples. A request for service by one or more of the resources is received, and at least one attribute desired by the request is quantified. Based at least in part on the quantified attributes of the resources and the quantified attributes desired by the request, at least one suitable resource for servicing the received request is determined. Most preferably, attributes of resources may be quantified along a scale, such as a scale of 0 to 100. For example, within a telephony call center, attributes possessed by agents, such as language skills or product knowledge may be quantified along such a scale. A request for service may be received, and the attributes of a resource desired by the request are quantified along such a scale. Suitable resources for servicing a request may be determined by evaluating the quantified attributes possessed by the resources and the quantified attributes desired by the request. Thus, “N” number of resource attributes may be quantified and plotted within an N-dimensional space. Additionally, attributes desired by a received request may be quantified and plotted within such N-dimensional space. The distance between the plotted resource attributes and the plotted requests may be calculated to determine at least one suitable resource for servicing the request.

A system and method is described for effective management of a User Interface (UI) of a wireless device by implementing direct mapping between the application data domain and UI screens and controls. The device has an intelligent wireless device runtime environment (Device Runtime) that provides a set of basic services to manage the wireless application, including a series of linked screen and data component definitions, and their interactions can simplify the development effort and reduce resource allocation. The data domain for this category of applications is defined using the atomic data component definitions. The communication between a device user interface and data components is defined using atomic screen component definitions. Both screen and data component definitions are described in metadata using a structured definition language such as XML. The relationships between the screen and data component definitions are embedded in the XML definitions in the form of screen/data mappings. Typically, rendered screens for display are derived from some underlying data component and screens controls affected by user events impact the current state (or data representation) of the application Changes to the application domain data are automatically synchronized with the user interface, and user-entered data is automatically reflected in the application domain data. The primary mechanism behind this synchronization is the mapping of screens and data. This mechanism enables creation of dynamic and interactive screens. All changes to the data component can be immediately reflected on the screen and vice versa. This model allows building effective wireless applications based on server-to-device notifications. The data updates asynchronously pushed from the server are instantaneously reflected at the UI screen.

A system and methods for building an efficient incremental data backup system capable of managing high frequency backups sessions, and capable of efficiently expiring backup revisions and locating the useless data elements is disclosed. A reduced set of data elements that have a non-zero probability of becoming redundant when a backup revision expires is prepared while each backup revision is being processed by the backup system. The backup system also maintains data structures, which reduce the number of searches that should be performed for each such data element before it can be realized that the data element is exclusively needed to support the expired backup revision, and therefore could be removed from the second tier storage.

A system and method for the efficient administration of health care plans, particularly as to the reduction and/or elimination of avoidable medical costs for select individuals who participate in the plan, is disclosed. Existing health care data is processed to determine an indication as to the relative desirability of an intervention in a plan participant's health care regimen. The data is also processed to determine the status of one or more flags, each of which potentially indicates the relative desirability of an intervention in a plan participant's health care regimen. A predictive model is used to determine the status of a flag relating to the likelihood of an insurance plan participant making a disability claim within a certain period of time. The information relating to desirability of an intervention in a plan participant's health care regimen, as well as a plan participant's medical information and claim history, is presented to case managers and/or health care providers in a user-friendly format

A method and an apparatus that improves virtual memory management. The proposed method and apparatus provides an application with an efficient channel for communicating information about future behavior of an application with respect to the use of memory and other resources to the OS, a paging daemon, and other system software. The state of hint bits, which are integrated into page table entries and TLB entries and are used for communicating information to the OS, can be changed explicitly with a special instruction or implicitly as a result of referencing the associated page. The latter is useful for canceling hints. The method and apparatus enables memory allocators, garbage collectors, and compilers (such as those used by the Java platform) to use a page-aligned heap and a page-aligned stack to assist the OS in effective management of memory resources. This mechanism can also be used in other system software.
