An information management device includes a setter for setting an address of a file to be monitored, an accessor for accessing the address set by the setter at a prescribed timing, a determiner for determining updating of the file and a controller for controlling image display. The controller displays reduced images of home pages of the files to be monitored in the window of the display with the images being compressed in horizontal direction. The accessor then accesses the previously recorded addresses of the files to be monitored set by the setter at a prescribed timing and the determiner makes a determination as to whether or not the data of the accessed files are updated with reference to the dates of updating the files. When data of a file is determined to have been updated, the controller enlarges the reduced image corresponding to the updated file in the window so that the updating of the file can be quickly and surely recognized.
A method for controlling the flow of files from a development server to another server using a file propagation tool is disclosed. A job comprising at least one file on a development server is created, wherein the at least one file is selected using the file propagation tool loaded on a computer. The job is then copied to the computer. The job is copied to a test server for testing. The job is copied to a live server once the job has been successfully tested.

The integrity of a dynamic data object that comprises one or more dynamic data items is ensured by storing the dynamic data object and dynamic authorization data in a memory. The dynamic authorization data may, for example, be a count of how many failed attempts to gain authorization have previously been made, and this is modified at least whenever another failed attempt is made. Whenever the dynamic data object or the dynamic authorization data is changed, its corresponding hash value is recomputed and stored into the memory. The dynamic data object is considered authentic only if newly-generated values of the two hash signatures match those that were previously stored into the memory. Changes to the dynamic data object are permitted only after the user has executed passed an authorization procedure.
A computer based system and method of determining whether to re-fetch a previously retrieved document across a computer network is disclosed. The method utilizes a statistical model to determine whether the previously retrieved document likely changed since last accessed. The statistical model is continuously improving its accuracy by training internal probability distributions to reflect the actual experience with change rate patterns of the documents accessed. The decision of whether to access the document is based on the probability of change compared against a desired synchronization level, random selections, maximum limits on the amount of time since the document was last accessed, and other criterion. Once the decision to access is made, the document is checked for changes and this information is used to train the statistical model.
