A system and method using inheritance for the configuration, management, and / or monitoring of computer applications and devices via a computer network are disclosed. The method generally comprises determining a hierarchical tree structure based upon locations of devices in a network topology, each device being a node in the hierarchical tree structure, determining policies for each node in the hierarchical tree structure to be enforced by an agent corresponding to each node, the agent being in communication with the device and the resources corresponding to the device, and communicating the policy to the corresponding agent, wherein the policies corresponding to the resources of each device are selectively inherited along the hierarchical tree structure of the network directory.

A visual tree structure as specified by a program is constructed and maintained by a visual system's user interface thread. As needed, the tree structure is traversed on the UI thread, with changes compiled into change queues. A secondary rendering thread that handles animation and graphical composition takes the content from the change queues, to construct and maintain a condensed visual tree. Static visual subtrees are collapsed, leaving a condensed tree with only animated attributes such as transforms as parent nodes, such that animation data is managed on the secondary thread, with references into the visual tree. When run, the rendering thread processes the change queues, applies changes to the condensed trees, and updates the structure of the animation list as necessary by resampling animated values at their new times. Content in the condensed visual tree is then rendered and composed. Animation and a composition communication protocol are also provided.

A virtual web-based computing platform combining a particular network database hierarchy, graphical user interface, and integrated suite of computational tools accessible on demand, by which users gain access to an integrated Virtual Workspace for organizing emails, contacts, bookmarks, tasks, documents, notes, and all other relevant information. The network database hierarchy employs unique data structure and methods, allowing the user to centrally store and manage all data, regardless of type, as well as activities (actions taken and documented by the user). Nevertheless, the interface to said database offers a familiar folder / sub-folder “look and feel” using a tree data hierarchy, which gives a common, centralized and unified approach for storing, managing, displaying, and various types of data, regardless of object- and data-types.

The present invention assists a user in locating an intended address even where an address entered by the user is incorrect. In particular, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an address structure entered by a user containing an existing domain name is considered as a vine of interconnected elements. This vine is then compared to the tree structure of the correctly named domain. A possible match or matches within the domain for the address entered by the user are returned to the user. The possible match or matches may be assigned an accuracy score to assist the user in locating the desired address. The present invention is applicable to any system utilizing addresses that can be considered as a series of elements, such as universal resource locators.

A processor is connected to a storage device storing an incoming e-mail, a dependency database, and code for a calendar application. The dependency database can be built from an e-mail corpus containing a plurality of natural language e-mails containing scheduling information. The incoming e-mail is parsed by the processor to build a dependency tree containing word pairs from the e-mail that are found in the dependency tree. The word pairs are stored as dependency pairs in a tree structure in the dependency tree. A probability sum for the dependency tree is calculated to determine if the e-mail contains scheduling information. If the probability sum exceeds a predetermined value, the e-mail is assumed to contain scheduling information and the scheduling information is extracted from the dependency tree and exported to the calendar application.

The state table indexed into can be used for determining whether a decision regarding the block of data can be reached based on the indexed entry, and for selecting a next state table indicated by the indexed entry if the decision regarding the block of data cannot be reached.

A system and method are provided for organizing and managing a tree structure having a plurality of nodes representing physical entities, the tree structure defining a number of node locations, each node location being reached via a predetermined path from a root node of the tree structure. The method comprises the steps of associating first and second keys with each node to be included in the tree structure, the value of at least the first key being unique for each node, and then arranging the nodes within the tree structure by sorting the nodes with respect to both the first key and the second key, the sorting with respect to the first key being such that each node may be positioned within the tree structure at any node location along the path from the root node to the node location specified by the first key. By this approach, a search can be performed for a node within the tree structure based on specified criteria for both the first and second keys.

Methods, systems, devices and computer program products operable in a computer graphics system include constructing a hierarchical ray tracing acceleration data structure comprising a tree structure, the modes of which are generated utilizing a bounding interval hierarchy based on defining an axis-aligned scene bounding box and two parallel planes to partition a set of objects in a sense into left objects and right objects, and matching split planes to object bounding boxes. The two planes are perpendicular to a selected one of x, y, or z-axes. Given a splitting plane, each object in an image is classified either left or right based on a left / right selection criterion, and two splitting plane values of the child modes are determined by the maximum and minimum coordinate of the left and right objects, respectively.

A control mechanism is established between a network processor and a tree search coprocessor to deal with latencies in accessing the data such as information formatted in a tree structure. A plurality of independent instruction execution threads are queued to enable them to have rapid access to the shared memory. If execution of a thread becomes stalled due to a latency event, full control is granted to the next thread in the queue. The grant of control is temporary when a short latency event occurs or full when a long latency event occurs. Control is returned to the original thread when a short latency event is completed. Each execution thread utilizes an instruction prefetch buffer that collects instructions for idle execution threads when the instruction bandwidth is not fully utilized by an active execution thread. The thread execution control is governed by the collective functioning of a FIFO, an arbiter and a thread control state machine.

A hierarchy multicasting system (100) includes multiple clients coupled together in a tree structure (102) through a routing process (300). Data is transmitted from a data source (101) to a root node (112) of the tree structure (102). The root node (112) uses its up-link capacity to reflect the data to its children (122, 124). Through various filtering steps, the routing process (300) optimizes the tree structure (102) for efficiency and reliability. In addition, users (612, 622) behind different firewalls (610, 620) may communicate with each other. Therefore, they can be connected in the same hierarchy multicasting tree structure (600).

A method of tracking modifications of specific program objects during the runtime of a computer program, facilitates the creation of general UnDo and ReDo operations, as well as the support of an object-specific UnDo operation. When an object is modified, the object is interrogated to collect information about it and how the modification may be undone. The collected information is stored in a highly unbalanced data-tree structure. Since the interrogation of an object is a characteristic of the programming language, and not necessarily a modification of the program being executed, the present method may be easily applied to different existing programs with minimal, if any, modification to the existing programs.
