An architecture and design called Resource control programming (RCP), for automating the development of multithreaded applications for computing machines equipped with multiple symmetrical processors and shared memory. The Rcp runtime (0102) provides a special class of configurable software device called Rcp Gate (0600), for managing the inputs and outputs and user functions with a predefined signature called node functions (0500). Each Rcp gate manages one node function, and each node function can have one or more invocations. The inputs and outputs of the node functions are virtualized by means of virtual queues and the real queues are bound to the node function invocations, during execution. Each Rcp gate computes its efficiency during execution, which determines the efficiency at which the node function invocations are running. The Rcp Gate will schedule more node function invocations or throttle the scheduling of the node functions depending on the efficiency of the Rcp gate. Thus automatic load balancing of the node functions is provided without any prior knowledge of the load of the node functions and without computing the time taken by each of the node functions.

Under the present invention, a method for dynamically transforming the bytecode of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) bootstrap classes during program startup is provided. A JVM agent is used to intercept the execution flow before the execution of the special program startup-method of a JVM compliant computer program. The said JVM Agent executes code to transform the bytecode of the already loaded JVM bootstrap classes, storing the new set of modified bootstrap classes onto data storage. Subsequently, the JVM Agent intercepts all class loading events transforming the bytecode of classes declaring a special program statrup-method. In those classes the bytecode within the method body of the special class-initialize method, as defined in the present JVM class file format as “<clinit>”, is removed to avoid any side-effects in the program. The special program startup-method in the said classes is transformed to insert bytecode at the beginning of the method to invoke a special callback method, as declared within the said JVM Agent, passing as parameters to the callback method the main arguments as passed to the JVM upon program startup. Subsequently, when the said callback method intercepts the execution flow it starts a second JVM instance passing to it the obtained input parameters, the main method arguments as well as a JVM input argument to use the stored set of modified bootstrap classes.

A system for preventing on-line violations of open meeting regulations and similar laws, in which one or more special classes of users are defined for an electronic communication system. The definition of each special class may include quorum requirements, including the number of group members that make up a quorum for that special class. Users are registered to use the communication system, and indications are stored as to whether each user is a member of a special class. Users identified as members of special classes may be reminded of the restrictions on communications using the communication system arising from that special class membership. When a user composes a message for posting or sending through the communication system, the user's identity is checked to determine whether they are a member of a restricted special class. If the user is a member of a special class, a determination is made as to whether posting or sending the message would violate any legal restrictions associated with that special class. For example, if a user is a member of a special class for which communications are prohibited that would result in a serial quorum or the like, then the disclosed system would calculate the total number of special class members that would be participants in the communication to which the message would be added, if the message were in fact conveyed. If the number of special class members that would be participants in the communication if the message were conveyed reaches the quorum for the special class, then the message is rejected, and prevented from entry into the communication system.

A method to increase the capacity efficiency of span-restorable mesh networking on sparse facility graphs. The new approach views the network as a “meta-mesh of chain sub-networks”. This makes the prospect of WDM mesh networking more economically viable than with previous mesh-based design where the average nodal degree is low. The meta-mesh graph is a homeomorphism of the complete network in which edges are either direct spans or chains of degree-2 nodes. The main advantage is that loop-back type spare capacity is provided only for the working demands that originate or terminate in a chain, not for the entire flow that crosses chains. The latter “express” flows are entirely mesh-protected within the meta-mesh graph which is of higher average degree and hence efficiency for mesh restoration, than the network as a whole. Nodal equipment savings also arise from the grooming of express lightpaths onto the logical chain-bypass span. Only the meta-mesh nodes need optical cross-connect functionality. Other sites use OADMs and / or glassthroughs. The resultant designs comprise a special class of restorable network that is intermediate between pure span restoration and path restoration. Most of the efficiency of path restoration is achieved, but with a span restoration mechanism which is more localized and potentially faster and simpler than path restoration. The concept lends itself to implementation with OADMs having a passive waveband pass-through feature to support the logical chain bypass spans for express lightpaths.
