Abstract: Metadata for a plurality of database storage regions within memory are merged, where the metadata for each storage region comprises an interval including first and second interval values indicating a value range for values within that storage region. The first and second interval values are examined to identify overlapping storage regions and produce a sum of over-lapped storage regions. The sum of overlapped storage regions is compared to a threshold and the metadata of the overlapped storage regions are merged based on the comparison.

Abstract: A mobile wireless device has a device identifier, is located in a meeting venue, and communicates with a server through one or more wireless access points associated with the meeting venue. The device receives, from one of the access points, access point information that identifies the access point, and sends information including the device identifier to the access point.

Abstract: The invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for determining accessor entitlement to a resource in response to an accessor request for access to the resource. The invention associates a resource with an entitlement expression that includes a reference to at least one membership map having membership information regarding the accessor and associates with the accessor a unique identifier that acts as an index into each membership map. The entitlement expression is evaluated for the resource to determine the entitlement of the requesting accessor to the resource. The evaluation includes looking up the accessor's membership information in at least one membership map using the accessor's unique identifier. The invention may further include at least one accessor group having a name, zero or more accessors that are members of the group, and a membership map for determining whether a particular accessor is a member of the group.
