A table format object is used to format a dynamic HTML table at a web server. To facilitate the development of a dynamic server page for use in serving the dynamic table, first and second representations are created and made available for display to a page developer, e.g., in a web browser. The first representation illustrates how the HTML table will appear when formatted on a page by the table format object. The first representation includes given table attribute elements. The second representation is preferably online documentation for the table format object that includes, for each table attribute element, a set of methods that are available on the table format object. According to the invention, a given table attribute in the first representation is bidirectionally linked to its corresponding set of methods in the second representation to enable the developer to easily identify how given attributes in the table behave and how to resolve potential conflicts between these attributes.

A computing system processes memory transactions for parallel processing of multiple threads of execution with millicode assists. The computing system transactional memory support provides a Transaction Table in memory and a method of fast detection of potential conflicts between multiple transactions. Special instructions may mark the boundaries of a transaction and identify memory locations applicable to a transaction. A ‘private to transaction’ (PTRAN) tag, directly addressable as part of the main data storage memory location, enables a quick detection of potential conflicts with other transactions that are concurrently executing on another thread of said computing system. The tag indicates whether (or not) a data entry in memory is part of a speculative memory state of an uncommitted transaction that is currently active in the system. Program millicode provides transactional memory functions including creating and updating transaction tables, committing transactions and controlling the rollback of transactions which fail.

The present invention discloses a method for handling scheduling conflicts. The method can include a step of conveying scheduled events to a mobile communication device. Times associated with the events can be analyzed to determine potential conflicts. A set of previously established conflict resolution rules can be applied to the potential conflicts. Recommendations for resolving the potential conflicts can be generated based upon the applied rules. A notification of the potential conflicts and the generated recommendations can be presented to a user of the mobile device through an interface of the mobile communication device. The notifications and recommendations can occur a sufficient time before the potentially conflicting events occur to permit anticipatory actions to be taken to alleviate the conflicts before their occurrence.

A system and method for merging two rulesets provided in rule-based systems associated with originating applications executing at different locations, each ruleset comprising rules in potential conflict with each other, and each ruleset being in a different rule format. The rulesets to be merged are communicated to an assimilator service provided with a merge policy comprising a set of specifications of partially-ordered priorities and/or mutual-exclusion constraints. The rulesets are translated into a common core representation capable of being implemented in any logic program rule engine provided in a rule-based application at any location. The rulesets are assimilated to produce a new merged ruleset comprising logic required for resolving potential conflicts among rules in accordance with the merge policy that is implemented in any logic program rule engine provided at any location. The new merged ruleset is then translated into one of the originating application's rule format.

The method comprises the following steps: firstly, establishing a multi-step dynamic game framework; enabling the vehicles of the two parties to decide the following action according to the strategy selection of the otherparty; defining potential conflict points of the lane changing vehicles and the rear vehicles of the target lane; formulating starting and ending condition criteria of the game according to the initial information of the vehicle, the strategy and the game step number; and then enabling the two vehicles to use respective strategy and acceleration selection methods to carry out dynamic gaming untilthe lane changing termination condition is met, so that under the condition that the automatic driving vehicle does not meet the condition of direct lane changing, the lane changing space can also bemanufactured through the game playing with the human driving vehicle, and safe lane changing is achieved.

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating predictive diagnostics via a package update manager. A physical or virtual client machine can host a set of installed software packages, including operating system, application, and/or other software. A package manager tracks the set of installed packages and updates available for the installed set. A notification tool, in conjunction with the package manager, can monitor the user's selection of package update options, and compare those updates to a diagnostic database, a current state of the client machine, and/or other resources. Based on those determinations, the notification tool can generate notifications to the user advising them of potential conflicts, faults, or other conditions that may arise due to, or may surround, the prospective package update. The notification can permit the user to continue or terminate selected updates, before those updates are attempted and cause potential conflicts.

A system for allocating resources for use by devices of a computer. Device information for the devices of the computer is collected to uniquely identify the devices and to describe the device characteristics associated with the operation of those devices with the computer. A list of device configurations is constructed in response to the collection of device information. Each device is represented by at least one device configuration, which defines the resource element requirements for the corresponding device. Computer resources, which support the functions of the devices within the computer, are allocated based upon the device configurations and the availability of the desired resources. This allocation process prevents a potential conflicting use of computer resources by the installed devices.

A computing system processes memory transactions for parallel processing of multiple threads of execution by support of which an application need not be aware. The computing system transactional memory support provides a Transaction Table in memory and performs fast detection of potential conflicts between multiple transactions. Special instructions may mark the boundaries of a transaction and identify memory locations applicable to a transaction. A ‘private to transaction’ (PTRAN) tag, enables a quick detection of potential conflicts with other transactions that are concurrently executing on another thread of said computing system. The tag indicates whether (or not) a data entry in memory is part of a speculative memory state of an uncommitted transaction that is currently active in the system. A transaction program employs a plurality of Set Associative Transaction Tables, one for each microprocessor, and Load and Store Summary Tables in memory for fast processing of common conflict.

Systems and methods are delineated in which dynamic thresholds may be employed to detect and provide alerts for potential conflicts between a vehicle and another vehicle, an object or a person in an aircraft environment. Current systems for airport conflict detection and alerting consider one or more alerting boundaries which are independent of the amount of traffic present at any one time or over the course of time. Because nuisance alerts rates depend to a large extent on the amount of traffic, and because alert detection thresholds are often set based on a desire to limit nuisance alerts to a specific threshold, adapting those thresholds based on, among other things, the amount of traffic can result in earlier alerting in some crash scenarios and can even result in providing an alert in a crash scenario where no alert would have otherwise been generated.

A special syslog daemon on a send node, wherein the send node is connected to a receive node by a one-way data link, the special syslog daemon configured to receive a syslog message from a syslog sender, insert a portion of IP information of the syslog sender in the body of the received syslog message and route the resulting syslog message to the one-way data link so that the resulting syslog message can be sent through the one-way data link to a syslog receiver communicatively coupled to the receive node. The present invention resolves the potential conflict between syslog and one-way data transfer applications that are configured to remove IP information from data prior to its passage through a one-way data link, thereby leading to a further enhancement of network security through their combination.

Aspects of the present invention provide a disk-to-disk-to-tape backup method and system responsive to a combined backup request to backup a dataset to a backup disk according to a disk backup schedule and then to backup the dataset from the backup disk to a backup tape according to a tape backup schedule. The combined backup method completes a backup of the dataset to the backup disk and then to a backup tape device in accordance with a resolved schedule that considers potential conflicts between the schedules. To restore, aspects of the invention receive a request to restore a backup of the dataset from a backup-tape and the resolved schedule derived from the tape backup schedule and the disk backup schedule. The restoration verifies that a backup tape holds the target dataset by matching a combined backup identifier from the request against a corresponding combined backup identifier held in storage.

A communication system includes devices configured to communicate with each other through a temporal sequence of frames. Each of these frames includes multiple sub-channels and network-context information associated with communication between the devices. For example, network-context information associated with a data packet transmitted by a first device using a first sub-channel during a first frame is included in the first sub-channel. Furthermore, a second device, which communicates with the first device and a third device, arbitrates potential conflicts between the first device and the third device over use of the first sub-channel by providing feedback information to the first device. This feedback information is determined based on the network-context information in multiple frames, which is accumulated by the second device.

There are two basic methods of steering a wheeled vehicle. One method is to turn one or more steerable wheels. The other is to drive one or more left hand wheels independently of one or more right hand wheels. Traditional vehicles address the potential conflict between to two steering systems by either disabling one system or by causing one to overpower the other. This leads to skidding or scuffing problems respectively. In the present invention both steering systems are enabled but are integrated by means of an on board computer so that they always act in unison. This mutual reinforcement will allow the invention to operate safely on steep or slippery slopes while minimising fuel consumption and ground damage. The invention will also be more manoeuvrable than traditional vehicles since it is capable of both pure rotation and pure translation or any combination of rotation and translation.
