  • Publication number: 20200058036
    Abstract: An online social networking system for conducting commerce utilizes a grid environment, a widget architecture including a widget operating system, and semantic integration technologies to provide personalized bundling of products and services tied to an individual's life, emergent marketplaces that support collaboratively-based product and service development, merchandising, and recommendations, emergent user experiences, emergent gaming, emergent behavior predictions, collaborative discover, i.e., social searching, and content and/or people voyeurism. These features are achieved through the use of various techniques including emergent programming, emergent widget processing, emergent computations, emergent applications, widget composition, data integration and exchange, complex system management, security graphs, trust/reputation management, intersecting graphs, database sharding, use of fractal graphs (which may be thinned and expanded), and content mashups.

  • Publication number: 20150058412
    Abstract: A system and method for modeling networks by auto-generation. The system generally comprises methods and systems for enabling the extraction, management and merging of models of networks and creating models of networks that can dynamically respond to changing context and computer requirements. The method includes ways of creating network models, maintaining n-dimensional graphs of networks; using adaptive and evolutionary algorithms for result emergence, using training and feedback to tune adaptive algorithms for solution optimization, and transformation of results into ontological and or data models.
