A method for evaluating a user query on a relational database having records stored therein, a workload made up of a set of queries that have been executed on the database, and a query optimizer that generates a query execution plan for the user query. Each query plan includes a plurality of intermediate query plan components that verify a subset of records from the database meeting query criteria. The method accesses the query plan and a set of stored intermediate statistics for records verified by query components, such as histograms that summarize the cardinality of the records that verify the query component. The method forms a transformed query plan based on the selected intermediate statistics (possibly by rewriting the query plan) and estimates the cardinality of the transformed query plan to arrive at a more accurate cardinality estimate for the query. If additional intermediate statistics are necessary, a pool of intermediate statistics may be generated based on the queries in the workload by evaluating the benefit of a given statistic over the workload and adding intermediate statistics to the pool that provide relatively great benefit.

A cluster system and method accesses from an internet network, a network server within one or a plurality of clusters, each cluster being identified by a single cluster public Internet Protocol (IP) address. The cluster system has a plurality of network servers organized in one of a plurality of clusters and a network load balancer system for selecting a destination network server in a cluster. Each cluster has one or a plurality of identical network servers, the network load balancer system being connected on one hand to an access routing device and on another hand to the plurality of network servers through a private network server subnet. The method includes the steps of at initialization time, on each network server defining, as a non-advertising alias, in an interface table, the public IP address of each cluster to which the network server belongs, and upon reception, by the network load balancing system, of a datagram having an IP header including a destination IP address field and a medium access control (MAC) header including a destination MAC address field, selecting a destination network server within the cluster corresponding to the cluster public IP address identified in the destination IP address field of the datagram IP header, replacing the destination medium access control (MAC) address field of the datagram MAC header by the MAC address of the selected destination network server, and sending the datagram through the private network server subnet, using the MAC address of the selected destination network server. Upon reception, by the destination network server, of the datagram sent by the network load balancing system, the MAC address in the destination MAC address field of the datagram MAC header is identified as being the MAC address of the selected destination network server, and the IP datagram is processed if the identified cluster public IP address in the destination IP address field of the datagram IP header, is defined as a non-advertising alias in the interface table of the destination network server.

A method automatically recognizes speech received through an input. The method accesses one or more speaker-independent speaker models. The method detects whether the received speech input matches a speaker model according to an adaptable predetermined criterion. The method creates a speaker model assigned to a speaker model set when no match occurs based on the input.

In a communications network including at least one authentication entity adapted to authenticating a network access requestor in order to conditionally grant thereto access to the communications network, wherein the authenticating is based on public key cryptography, a method for automatically provisioning the network access requestor with service access credentials for accessing an on-line service offered by an on-line service provider accessible through the communications network. The method includes: during the authenticating the network access requestor, having an authentication entity request to the on-line service provider the generation of the service access credentials; at the on-line service provider, generating the service access credentials, encrypting the service access credentials by exploiting a public encryption key of the network access requestor and providing the encrypted service access credentials to the authentication entity; and having the authentication entity cause the network access requestor to be provided with the encrypted service access credentials.

A method and system for automatically repairing identity theft under computer control. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for repairing identity theft. The method accesses notification of a fraudulent identity theft incident committed on a victim. The method collects victim specific information that is associated with the fraudulent identity theft incident and the victim. Then, the method automatically populates and generates notification forms with the victim specific information. The populated notification forms detail the fraudulent identity theft incident for affected creditors and credit bureaus. Then, the method automatically transmits the notification forms to the affected creditors, credit bureaus, law enforcement agencies, and any other required entities. The method then chronicles by time in a non-volatile record all the actions taken in furtherance of repairing the fraudulent identity theft incident.

A platform that accommodates financial transactions and is accessible via mobile phone networks, Internet and traditional methods is linked to user defined credit and security matrixes. Credit risk tolerance factors consider the qualifications, characteristics, and profile of counterparties. Security risk tolerance factors consider the user's willingness to use a particular financial platform in an environment where abuse, fraud, theft, and other security factors are of concern. In both cases the user creates matrixes that describe risk tolerance and financial transactions must successfully pass through the filters designed by the user. The system can be used alone or linked to bank accounts, credit and debit accounts, etc. This provides a higher level of security and risk control in a mobile or Web-based environment. By giving customers way to control risk, use of new electronic methods of payment and other financial transactions can be accommodated in a more comfortable, secure, and efficient manner.

Disclosed are a computer-readable code, system and method for retrieving one or more records stored in electronic form in a library of records. The program that executes the method accesses a database table to identify, from user-generated information, one or more phrases likely to be contained in or associated with a record of interest, and from these phrase(s), identifies one or more phrase-related tags. The program uses the one or more tags so identified to find, independent of user input, test tags associated with those already identified, and to present to the user the number of records associated with the test tags, allowing the user to find records based on the inclusion of known tags and associated phrases.

The accessing, the constructing, the retrieving, and the writing are performed by one or more electronic processors.

Access control in a collaboration system is realized, in which, even when only particular one of users working together has access permission to a resource, the other users are allowed to access the resource under certain conditions.

The collaboration system includes multiple terminals 100 exchanging data through a network to perform collaborative work, and a collaboration server 200 that acquires a resource in response to a request from each terminal 100 and sends the resource to the terminal 100. When an access request for an access-controlled resource is made from a user terminal 100 not having the access permission to the resource, the collaboration server 200 uses access authorization of a session owner to the resource to acquire the resource.

Access is provided for different types of media content provided by disparate publishers, and in formats corresponding to operating characteristics of respective user devices. As consistent with one or more example embodiments herein, media content access is filtered for users requesting access via different user devices, based upon characteristics of the device to which the access is provided, user subscription data and publisher-specific criteria. A user-specific storefront interface is generated for each of a multitude of users, based upon the filtering. Each storefront interface indicates media content that can be displayed at the device to which access is requested, and identifies media content to which the user does and does not have subscription access. The user-specific storefront interfaces are presented at respective user devices, and media content is delivered to each device in response to selections made via the user-specific storefront interfaces.

The embodiments of the invention provide a method, program storage device, etc. for automated and dynamic management of query views for database workloads. More specifically, a method begins by executing queries, which includes accessing a set of data tables for each of the queries. During the executing of the queries, the method accesses a required data table from a cache if the required data table is present in the cache and creates the required data table if the required data table is not present in the cache. The accessing of the required data table from the cache has a lower processing cost than accessing the required data table from a base table. Also during the executing of the queries, created data tables are stored in the cache, wherein one or more of the created data tables are removed from the cache when the cache becomes full.
