Patent number: 6760733Abstract: An object management system and data processing system which enable the containment relationships among a plurality of resource managers to be changed without affecting client applications which use services of those resource managers. A tree manager maintains tree structure data that defines the containment relationships among resource managers, together with identification data that is used to distinguish between them. From this tree structure data, an object manager builds a containment tree to grasp the containment relationships among the resource managers. When a client application issues an operation request to one of the resource managers, a message processor receives and forwards it to the object manager. The object manager then searches the containment tree to find identification data of a relevant resource manager for which the received operation request should be destined, thus sending the request to the found destination resource manager.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1999Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroaki Komine, Noriyuki Yokoshi, Kazuaki Ikeda, Tsuyoshi Naka, Toshiharu Nakamura

Patent number: 5412376Abstract: A method for structuring a communications network based on an asynchronous transfer mode in which communications are held with the use of cells transferred between a node on the upstream side and a node on the downstream side. The method for structuring the network includes a step for preparing a plurality of VPI conversion tables for converting VPIs of the cell input under normal communicating conditions and that of the cell input in the event of a failure and outputting the cell with the VPI converted. The prepared VPI conversion tables are reorganized for each node and the reorganized VPI conversion tables are distributed to all nodes. Then, an alternate route monitoring and switching virtual path is set up in each alternate route and a monitoring cell is periodically transmitted along the alternate route.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1994Date of Patent: May 2, 1995Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takafumi Chujo, Hiroaki Komine, Keiji Miyazaki, Takao Ogura, Tetsuo Soejima
