A software system is provided for managing available to promise (ATP) and making promises to fulfill customer requests. The software system includes a plurality of generic product models (600) each representing a generic product. Each generic product model (600) specifies one component of a plurality of possible components. A plurality of specific product models (602) each represent a specific product and each specify all components of the specific product. Each component specified by each specific product model (602) is specified by one of the generic product models (600) such that each specific product model (602) is related to a subset of the generic product models (600). A customer request matching a specific product then can be fulfilled by available-to-promise of the specific product or by available-to-promise of all related generic products. In addition, an organization in a seller hierarchy can retain product and designate first-come-first-served product. The organization also can define an ATP horizon to specify when forecasted product is actually available. Further, the organization can use an automatic allocation policy to allocate to members, and some forecast entries can be designated zero-ATP entries.

The invention provides a dynamic scheduling method for customized buses and car pooling based on passenger appointments. Adding modifying and deleting orders are completed on a cell phone App, and an order service queue is established on a central platform for orders of all clients based on departure time. Based on the strategy of first come first serve, each order on the front of a queue is processed gradually. A possible path between starting points is calculated with shortest distance algorithm and constraint examination object functions by taking the position information of onboard GPS terminals and all order messages assigned to a customized bus before into consideration. The cost for each customized bus to complete the order is calculated, and the bus with the lowest cost is chosen to complete the order based on the greedy principle. The accessing passenger set of the customized bus is updated. The process is repeated to assign all passenger appointment to buses. Reliable technical support is provided for dynamic scheduling customized buses and car pooling based on passenger appointments.

A cargo reservation system and method is provided wherein interested parties are united together in the form of a club to purchase cargo transportation units or rights in a cargo space. The level of membership is based on the amount of cargo transportation units an interested individual has purchased in the club. A member is given the opportunity to reserve their total amount of cargo transportation units on a first come first serve basis without individual club members having to negotiate or bid on the price of the freight services.

A system using two algorithms for scheduling packets in a multi-hop network. The objective of the algorithms is to reduce end-to-end message (not packet) transmission delays. Both algorithms schedule packet transmissions based on the length of the original message to which the package belongs. The first algorithm is preemptive and is based on the shortest-message-first principle and the second is based on the shortest-remaining-transmit-time principle. We develop simulation models for analyzing the algorithms. The simulations show that when message sizes vary widely, these algorithms can significantly reduce average end-to-end message delays compared to the First-Come-First-Serve scheduling.

A system and method is disclosed for facilitating the acquisition of medical images used as part of a clinical trials process by requiring Imaging Centers to compete with each other to supply the images. Agreements between the Sponsor and a plurality of Imaging Centers stipulate that the Sponsor is only required to accept a certain total number of medical images and is free to reject any medical images that either do not comply with the protocol, or which exceed the total number of medical images required for the study. This motivates the Imaging Centers to quickly obtain and transmit to the Sponsor high quality medical images that meet the basic requirements outlined in the clinical study protocol, since images are accepted and compensated for by the Sponsor on a first-come, first-served basis. A system for implementing this method is also disclosed.

Tasks make updates requested by calling tasks to a shared resource serially in a first come first served manner, atomically, but not necessarily synchronously, such that a current task holding an exclusive lock on the shared resource makes the updates on behalf of one or more calling tasks queued on the lock. Updates waiting in a queue on the lock to the shared resource may be made while the lock is held, and others deferred for post processing after the lock is released. Some update requests may also, at the calling application's option, be executed synchronously. Provision is made for nested asynchronous locking. Data structures (wait_elements) describing update requests may queued in a wait queue for update requests awaiting execution by a current task, other than the calling task, currently holding an exclusive lock on the shared resource. Other queues are provided for queuing data structures removed from the wait queue but not yet processed; data structures for requests to unlock or downgrade a lock; data structures for requests which have been processed and need to be returned to free storage; and data structures for requests that need to be awakened or that describe post processing routines that are to be run while the lock is not held.

A system and method provide a group purchase service in which a discount rate is applied differentially depending on the group purchase volume on first-come-first-served basis. In the group purchase service, a central server determines a discount policy such that each local server applies differential discount rates in group purchase rounds depending on group purchase volumes of an item in a purchase process performed by buyer devices. When each of the buyer devices accesses the local server in each service area and performs the purchase process for the item through the local server, the local server applies the differential discount rates to the rounds depending on the group purchase volumes of the item. When the sales deadline arrives or when all the items sold out, the central server applies a final discount rate according to a totalization of the group purchase volumes in all the service areas
