Abstract: A system to process navigation information includes a receiving module to receive a data request from a network entity. The data request includes a network entity identifier that uniquely identifies the network entity. The system further includes an application to generate a network event based on the data request, the network event including the navigation information. Finally, the system includes a publisher module to communicate the network event to a first server that is distinguished from a first plurality of servers based on the network entity identifier.

Abstract: A system to process navigation information includes at least one hardware processor and an information storage and retrieval platform executed by the at least one hardware processor. The information storage and retrieval platform is configured to receive a data request from a client, the data request including a client identifier that identifies the client, generate a network event in response to the data request received from the client, and generate, by the at least one hardware processor, a hash value from the client identifier. The information storage and retrieval platform is also configured to identify an address based on the hash value, determine a server by a lookup of the server from among a plurality of servers, the lookup being based on the identified address, and communicate the network event to the server.

Abstract: Disclosed is a graphical representation (602) formed of at least one template having a plurality of graphical objects arranged in a predetermined number of rendering layers (702, 703, 706, 707) spanning a geometric space. At least one of the layers (702, 703) has user-alterable parameters and incorporates at least one multiply instantiated user-definable graphical object (204) distributed upon the at least one layer according to application of the parameters to a plurality of presentation rules. A method for forming such a graphical representation from a template is also disclosed. The method includes accessing at least one user-manipulable effect definition (129) associated with one of the rendering layers (109). The effect definition has parameter information defining characteristics of the one layer.
