Abstract: A system management procedure combines operations for performing operation management in a computer system, the system management knowledge capable of specifying a post-status of each constituent element of the computer system, the post-status being expected as a result that the operations are executed in accordance with the system management procedure, are previously stored in databases. Then, it is judged that a failure occurs, when an actual state of the computer system as a result that the operations are executed based on the system management procedure, is inconsistent with the expected post-status. When the failure occurred, a revising method capable of making the actual state of the computer system as the result that the operations are executed in the system management procedure, to be consistent with the expected post-status, is derived to be proposed.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a passive matrix display element and can support full-color display. The apparatus includes a passive matrix display element 10 composed of a memory type display material, a row driver 26 for driving the scan electrode of the display element and a column driver 27 for driving the data electrode of the display element. A switching signal S/C is set to a segment mode during the falling period of a display-apparatus driving signal /DSPOF for preventing rush current caused at the falling edge of a frame signal FR. During this period, the former half of line data is transferred and outputted. Consequently, the falling period of the display-apparatus driving signal /DSPOF (i.e., time during which liquid crystal does not operate) can be shortened, thus improving the response characteristics of liquid crystal.
