Abstract: A process for generating reports from a desktop application program residing on a server computer system is described. The process can deliver such reports over a network computer system and includes a data services process that maintains state information of report generation objects, an object management process that manages the report generation objects and that encapsulates instances of a desktop application to produce reports based on data supplied by the data server process in accordance with the report generation object. Subscribers can request reports containing data which are dynamically generated at request time. One example of such reports are reports containing financial data.

Abstract: A data processing system provides an interface with a securities exchange system over which securities are traded. The system allows a user to configure displays tailored for specific functions and to show displays for a particular security. The user may also view a display showing information about selected securities, monitor trade activity, participate in a trade, and report trades. In addition, a user may display information for a selected set of securities on a continuously updated basis and can easily select from a displayed list, a desired security and certain information and functions associated with the selected security.

Abstract: A computer system including a processor and a storage device storing a computer program product for rebalancing a capitalization weighted stock index are described. The computer program includes instructions for causing a computer to classify stocks in the index as a Large Individual Stock if a stock has a capitalization weight above or equal to a first threshold or as a Small Individual Stock if the stock has a capitalization weight below the first threshold. The computer program causes the computer to scale down the Large Individual Stocks by an excess capitalization weight of the large stocks and distribute an aggregated excess capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks over the capitalization weights of the Small Individual Stocks. An iterative redistribution of excess capitalization over all Small Individual Stocks can be used to provided for less than proportional distribution of excess capitalization to very small capitalized stocks.
