The invention relates to the method for the prospective scheduling, periodic monitoring and dynamic management of a plurality of interrelated and interdependent resources using a computer system. The method includes providing a data base containing information about the resources and graphically displaying utilization and availability of the resources as a function of time. Indicia can be made to appear on the display to provide visual identification of symbols as well as information about sched...

A method is described that can be used to regulate the usage of resources in a network system. A software tool can be used to regulate access to a system resource. The preferred method uses a software tool to enforce voluntary restraint on the uses of resources by competing processes. Further, the software tool can be used to request additional usage time for more important or sensitive processes requesting a specific resource. The preferred method can be used with a general computing environmen...

A system includes a plurality of resources and a plurality of requesters. A first portion of the resources are reserved for a particular time period in the system during a first arbitration phase, in response to prescheduling requests. During a second arbitration phase a second portion of the resources are allocated in response to regular requests, the first portion of the resources which are reserved being unavailable to the regular requests.

The subject process accepts the data from a kinematic tracker and maps them to fuzzy set conditions. Then using a multitude of defined membership functions and fuzzy logic gates, generates sensor mode control rules. It does this for every track and each sensor. The Rule with the best score becomes a sensor cue, which is used to place the sensor into one of three operating modes. If there are ambiguities do to one or more vehicles coming in to close proximity to each other process compares radar ...

In a data communication system such as a high capacity DBS system, dynamic mapping of broadcast resources is provided to exploit occasional redundancy in the program content of two or more input data streams, freeing at least one broadcast resource to carry alternate bitstreams, such as additional programs or existing programs at higher quality. Transmission maps defining the correspondence between input data streams and broadcast resources, and reception maps defining the correspondence between...

Graphics resources are virtualized through an interface between graphics hardware and graphics clients. The interface allocates the graphics resources across multiple graphics clients, processes commands for access to the graphics resources from the graphics clients, and resolves conflicts for the graphics resources among the clients.

A method and an apparatus implementing the method for optimizing data transmission resources, particularly resources on the air interface, between terminals and a network element. To diminish capacity differences of different legs or connection parts in the connection, the network adapts (2-5, 2-10A, 2-13) the traffic channel resources between the terminal and the network to be suitable for the outward connection of the network element, e.g. the connection to another mobile station or to a fixed...

A garbage collector, from time to time, and within a single cycle, determines objects that are eligible to have their associated memory freed; executes high-priority finalizers associated with such eligible objects as are determined; and after execution of a high-priority finalizer, deallocates the memory of the associated object. The garbage collector queues references to eligible objects that have non-high-priority finalizers in a list. After garbage collection is completed, a finalizer thread...

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for ad-hoc solution resources determination and provisioning. A method includes, in a target compute system residing in a network of interconnected compute systems, assigning a unique identifier to a requested solution, selecting providers for providing identified components of the requested solution, storing identifications of the selected providers along with associated identified components in a hierarchical data structure in a memor...

In one general aspect, a method for validating resources includes identifying a first resource file associated with an application. The first resource file includes a reference for identifying at least a portion of a second resource file. An error is determined to be included in the reference. A report of the error is automatically generated.
