  • System and method for allocating data in a hierarchical organization of data
    Patent number: 6988104
    Abstract: A method for allocating data in a hierarchical organization of data (16) includes determining new values for one or more parents (200, 220) in the organization of data (16) and determining current values for one or more children (210, 230) in the organization of data (16). Each child (210, 230) is hierarchically related to one or more of the parents (200, 220). The method also includes determining the relationship between each parent (200, 220) and its children (210, 230) and determining a variation for each child (210, 230). Furthermore, the method includes determining a new value for each child (210, 230) by allocating the new values of the parents (200, 220) to the children based on the parent-child relationships, the current values of the children (210, 230), and the variations of the children (210, 230).

  • Conflict detection and resolution in association with data allocation
    Patent number: 6873994
    Abstract: A method for detecting and resolving conflicts in association with a data allocation includes determining a relationship between each of a plurality of positions in a hierarchical organization of data. The method also includes selecting a position i and determining a total weight of position i. If the total weight of position i is effectively non-zero, the method further includes removing the influence of position i from the other positions and adding position i to a set of conflict-free positions.
