Abstract: A method for generating feature graphs employed for creation of a head note in a legal document is provided. The method enables identifying one or more predetermined features in a plurality of legal documents. The one or more predetermined features are based on grammatical constituents of text in the legal document. The plurality of legal documents is manually identified as headnote and non headnote. The method further enables obtaining data related to the availability of the one or more identified predetermined features in the sentences manually identified as headnote and non headnote in the plurality of legal documents. Furthermore, the method enables computing likelihood of a sentence being a headnote based on the obtained data. The method further enables generating feature graphs corresponding to each predetermined feature based on the computed likelihood and obtained data and storing the generated feature graphs in a repository.

Abstract: A method for analysis of distributed device rule-sets for compliance with global policies includes enabling an administrator to specify a network topology with intercommunicating elements and parameters required to secure the intercommunication with access control elements of the network topology; establishing connections to the access controls elements to capture a snapshot configuration of device rule-sets of the access control elements; enabling the administrator to specify a set of global access constraints with reference to the access control elements; enabling the administrator to select between exhaustive analysis and statistical analysis; conducting the selected analysis to determine violations by the device rule-sets that fail to comply with the set of global access constraints, wherein statistical analysis quantitatively characterizes a level of compliance without conducting analysis of all potential network paths; and providing results of the selected analysis to the administrator through a graphic
