Publication number: 20130318002Abstract: A resource management plan creation support device reads in a travel schedule, represents, as one node, each path from an originating location to a terminating location of each leg included in a travel schedule that has been read in, and creates a network model by connecting together, using links, the legs over which consecutive travel is possible based upon the place and time. In addition, nodes representing auxiliary resources are added to the created network, and the network model is updated by adding links representing temporary usage of the auxiliary resources or temporary cessation of use of business-use resources. Also, by finding a path group encompassing each node of the network model so as to satisfy a pre-supplied condition (the condition of allocating resources to all of the legs), a management plan for resources which execute transport services is created.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2011Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tomoe Tomiyama, Tatsuhiro Sato, Tomohito Takai

Patent number: 8037035Abstract: A computer-readable, non-transitory medium stores a program that manages compressed file groups on a plurality of slave servers. The file groups include compressed files that are to be searched and have character strings. Each of the compressed file groups is expanded, using a Huffman tree that was used for compressing the compressed file group. A common compression parameter is generated based on appearance frequency, by summing, for each character, the appearance frequency in each of the compressed file groups. The expanded files are recompressed using the common Huffman tree such that sums of the access frequencies of the compressed files that are origins of the recompressed files are substantially equivalent among various slave servers. New archives including the re-compressed files are transmitted to the respective slave servers.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masahiro Kataoka, Tatsuhiro Sato, Takashi Tsubokura
