A tree structure or tree diagram is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic representation resembles a tree, even though the chart is generally upside down compared to an actual tree, with the "root" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom.
System and method for distributed facility management and operational control
ActiveUS7349761B1Programme controlSampled-variable control systemsControl systemEnvironmental control system
An environmental control system controls monitoring and operation of a multiplicity of disparate environmental control devices by determining an appropriate configuration for each control device and communicates corresponding monitoring and control commands to each device in accordance with its corresponding communication protocol over a selected I / O port. An operational instruction set includes a structural definition of an enterprise facility in which devices are defined by personality modules and communicate with a system host in accordance with a protocol defined in a protocol module. Facility implementation is defined by a node tree structure which collects suitable protocol nodes under a corresponding I / O interface port node. Device (personality) nodes are collected under corresponding protocol nodes, and data point nodes depend from their corresponding device nodes. Data points nodes are individually accessible by merely traversing the node tree using a URL-like notational structure, allowing off-site users to control and monitor environmental devices by issuing commands in the form of a URL.

Self-healing hierarchical network management system, and methods and apparatus therefor
InactiveUS20020174207A1Multiplex system selection arrangementsWavelength-division multiplex systemsSelf-healingNetwork management
A hierarchical network management system (NMS) in which a plurality of NMS managers, each responsible for different portions or aggregations of a communications network, are logically arranged in a tree structure. The NMS managers are further organized into various sub-groups. The NMS managers within each sub-group monitor the status of one another in order to detect when one of them is no longer operational. If this happens, the remaining operational NMS managers of the sub-group collectively elect one of them to assume the responsibility of the non-operational NMS manager. The NMS is thus "self-healing" in the sense that one NMS manager can dynamically, without operator intervention, assume the responsibilities for another NMS manager.

Computer system security service
A security service of computer networks having a policy builder, an LDAP-compliant database, a validator and an API. The policy builder component provides a graphical user interface to be used by a policy manager to define access policies for users seeking to access network services and resources. The graphical user interface has a grid of nodes representing access policies. The grid is arranged to correspond to a defined tree structure representing services and resources and a business relationship tree structure representing users. The graphical user interface permits the policy manager to define policy builder plug-ins for access policy customization. The LDAP-compliant database maintains the policy builder plug-ins. The validator component receives requests from users and queries the LDAP-compliant database to obtain relevant access policies as defined by the policy manager. The system provides for double inheritance of access policies such that where there is no express definition of an access policy for a node, the access policies are propagated according to the hierarchical structures of the data. The validator includes validator plug-ins for carrying out access policies corresponding to the access policies defined by policy builder plug-ins.

A Managed Site (10), a logical network entity, is composed of a number of Sub Sites (20) in a one to many relationship. A Sub Site (20) is a logical component, which is composed of a number of Engines (30). Nodes (40) similarly relates to their Engine (30) in a many to one relationship. A Node (40) is a collection of Managed Elements (ME's) (50) (while being an ME (50) itself), which represent network state information. The subsite (20) consists of the engine (30) connected to server nodes (40). One or more clients (110) are connected to the management engine (30) and access management engine (30) information relating to managed elements (50) including nodes (40). The connected manager engines may communicate with one another so that, for example, in the event of a failure, one of the manager engines remaining on line commences monitoring of manage elements assigned to the failed manager engine. Upon accessing the manager engine (30), the client interface displays relationships among managed elements (50) using meaningful connectors and tree-like structures. In addition to basic managed element state monitoring functionality, the manager engine (30) provides a variety of automated tasks ensuring the health of the network and optimal failure correction in the event of a problem. For example, the manager engine (30) performs root cause analysis utilizing an algorithm tracing through manged element (50) relationships and indicating the source of the failure.

Core assisted mesh protocol for multicast routing in ad-hoc Networks
InactiveUS6917985B2Enrich connectivityStay connectedSpecial service provision for substationError preventionIP multicastBroadcasting
A method of providing multicast routing for use in ad hoc broadcast networks, such as wireless and mobile networks. The method is described within a protocol referred to as core-assisted mesh protocol, or CAMP. The method departs from traditional tree-structured multicast protocols and utilizes multicast meshes in which the network need not be flooded with control or data packets to establish routing paths. Each router configured for CAMP is capable of accepting unique packets arriving from any neighbor in the mesh, wherein packets are forwarded along reverse shortest paths to the receiver. Multiple cores may be defined for a group wherein the loss of a single core does not prevent packet flow. Routers for sender-only hosts are allowed to join the multicast mesh in simplex mode, and in certain cases may join without the sending of a join request.

Usage based methods of traversing and displaying generalized graph structures
InactiveUS6509898B2Data processing applicationsDrawing from basic elementsRankingTheoretical computer science
A method for generating a tree structure representation of a generalized graph structure for display includes the more important links in the representation. Usage parameters are referenced in generating the tree structure from the generalized graph structure. Frequency, recency, spacing of accesses, and path information are exemplary types of usage parameters. A breadth-first or depth-first traversal of the graph references usage parameters associated with each node or link. The usage parameters which are associated with each node are referenced in order to determine the visitation order. The visitation order is determined by visiting the highest used nodes or links first. A method of displaying the tree structure references the usage parameters to determine the positioning of the nodes in the layout of the tree structure. In a preferred embodiment, the root node is positioned in the center of the layout. In one example, sibling nodes are spread out on links which emanate radially about their parent. The highest-used sibling nodes can be placed farthest apart from each other so as to achieve optimal separation so that they have the most growth space. The lowest-used nodes are then placed in the remaining space between the high-usage nodes. In another example, sibling nodes are positioned at the same radius from the root node. Each leaf node in the hierarchy is assigned the same amount of angular space. The layout angle of each node is a function of the ranking of the node's usage parameter relative to its siblings. Derived usage parameters such as need probability, cocitation clustering, or functions of both node and link usages can alternatively be referenced.

ActiveUS7139821B1Multiple digital computer combinationsMemory systemsCommunication interfaceSecure communication
In a system where client and server components (or actors) of an application are organized as complementary hierarchical graphs, a method and apparatus for creating server applications and dynamically deploying server applications on a client system are described. The server graph comprises, as a minimum, server nodes corresponding to the union of all possible client nodes, whereas each client graph corresponds to a subset of the related server nodes. The server graph is a compound tree from which all possible combinations of client trees can be dynamically created. At a desired time, for example, when the client requests for a client tree representation, the server creates the client tree representation using a peeling process to determine which nodes in the server actor tree should be included in the client tree representation. The peeling process involves determining the server actor nodes that meet a set of criteria for the particular client. The generated client tree structure contains objects that are shipped via a secured communication interface to the client in a tree structure.

System and method for managing visual structure, timing, and animation in a graphics processing system
InactiveUS7088374B2Smooth animationDrawing from basic elementsCathode-ray tube indicatorsGraphicsAnimation
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 data structure, added to a modified form of the Blink-tree data structure, tracks delete states for nodes. The index delete state (DX) indicates whether it is safe to directly access an index node without re-traversing the B-tree. The DX state is maintained globally, outside of the tree structure. The data delete state (DD) indicates whether it is safe to post an index term for a new leaf node. A DD state is maintained in each level 1 node for its leaf nodes. Delete states indicate whether a specific node has not been deleted, or whether it may have been deleted. Delete states are used to remove the necessity for atomic node splits and chains of latches for deletes, while not requiring retraversal. This property of not requiring a retraversal is exploited to simplify the tree modification operations.
