  • Patent number: 9529651
    Abstract: Methods for processing a one-directional message transmitted by a currently running agent for an agent transaction context (ATC) are presented, the ATC configured to process a transaction utilizing any of a number of active agents in a multiagent system using a computing device including: causing the computing device to determine whether a destination agent designated as a destination for the one-directional message is present in an agent list corresponding with the ATC, where the agent list includes the active agents required for executing a number of threads; and if the destination agent is present in the agent list, storing the one-directional message in an intramessage queue, where the intra-transaction message queue corresponds with the ATC and is configured to store a number of one-directional messages, and where the number of one-directional messages are associated with the transaction.

  • Patent number: 9262447
    Abstract: A set of ID for data of an existing tool is created as a parameter. A bulk access template that acquires a plurality of data is prepared. Access is provided to an existing tool path through the bulk access template. The bulk access template is prepared for each type of data that is acquired. The template is instantiated based on the URI that is requested. Entries that correspond to the operating table are filled in by executing the bulk access template that was created. When an RDF expression is requested for the URI of the template that is the same as one previously accessed, the entries would already be in the operating table, so that the RDF expression can be generated without accessing the existing tool.

  • Patent number: 9208590
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for effectively reflecting a manipulation of an object in graph data. In one example, a method enables a manipulation performed on an object as an image of a mapping of at least a part of graph data including nodes and edges to be reflected in the graph data. The method includes the step of specifying, from among nodes in the graph data that are related to the object being modified by the manipulation, a shared node that may be related to another object as well, and the step of reflecting the manipulation in the graph data while preventing the shared node from being modified.

  • Patent number: 9128836
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and program for dividing a conversational dialog into utterance. The apparatus includes a computer processor; a word database for storing spellings and pronunciations of words; a grammar database for storing syntactic rules on words; a pause detecting section which detects a pause location in a channel making a main speech among conversational dialogs inputted in at least two channels; an acknowledgement detecting section which detects an acknowledgement location in a channel not making the main speech; a boundary-candidate extracting section which extracts boundary candidates in the main speech, by extracting pauses existing within a predetermined range before and after a base point that is the acknowledgement location; and a recognizing unit which outputs a word string of the main speech segmented by one of the extracted boundary candidates after dividing the segmented speech into optimal utterance in reference to the word database and grammar database.

  • Patent number: 8943084
    Abstract: To provide a method, program, and system for converting graph data to a data structure that enables manipulations in various applications to be reflected in the original graph data. The method uses at least one graph matching pattern to convert at least a part of graph data including nodes and edges to a data structure as an image of a homomorphism thereof. A pattern is provided which includes one representative node variable having a first constraint that at most one node in the graph data matches the representative node variable; the node is prohibited from matching a node variable in another pattern. The method includes the step of performing matching between the graph data and the pattern to obtain a matching result that does not violate constraints including the first constraint, and the step of generating a data structure corresponding to the matching result that does not violate the constraints.

  • Patent number: 8935224
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a system for resending a process to a backup server farm from a client without waiting for the failure-detection, if no reply is received for a certain time. The transaction processing mechanism of the present invention has a transaction start processing mechanism in which an exclusive control using a valid processing authority token and data consistency are combined, and a commit processing mechanism in which determination on whether a commit is available or not based on a distributed agreement and replication of updated data. With the mechanisms, a system for shortening a service halt time when a failure occurs to a time as such it appears to a client that the service does not stop is provided.
