Abstract: Indexes having local features are automatically selected from sensor data of a plurality of sensors. Sensor data of the plurality of sensors, each associated with the plurality of indexes, is partitioned into a plurality of blocks. A principal component analysis is applied to the sensor data of each of the partitioned blocks and a plurality of principal components are extracted from each of the blocks. A migration distance evaluation unit extracts, from two different blocks, two principal components that form a principal component pair, and calculates a migration distance between each of the principal components regarding the extracted principal component pair. A migration factor index detection unit detects, as a migration factor index, an index among the plurality of indexes configuring the principal components having a large migration distance among the migration distances between each of the principal components calculated by the migration distance evaluation unit.

Abstract: A CPU of a data integration server detects first rare words whose number existing as words relating to configurations of tables of a factory data model is equal to or smaller than a predetermined number, detects second rare words whose number existing as words relating to configurations of tables in a common data model is equal to or smaller than a predetermined number, determines whether or not determination conditions for determining that a second column included in the common data model is a synonymous column candidate of a first column of the factory data model are satisfied, and, in the case where the determination conditions are satisfied, selects the second column as the synonymous column candidate of the first column. The determination conditions include a condition that one of the first rare words around the first column matches one of the second rare words around the second column.

Abstract: In a network wherein a data plane for communicating user data, and a control plane for managing data forwarders are configured of different media, the path teardown of the data plane which is forwarding the data is prevented when a fault has occurred in only the control plane. When the GMPLS controller of the control plane has detected refresh timeout with respect to an adjacent node (101 in FIG. 1), it checks whether or not a transmission equipment corresponding to a faulty controller has a fault (102), and it maintains a path state (103) in a case where the fault is limited to the control plane. Thus, the exchange of refresh messages with the adjacent node is continued without cleaning up the resources of the transmission equipment (104 through 107).

Abstract: A computer system including a plurality of processing nodes, at least one resource provided for use by any of the processing nodes and a plurality of register sets. Each register set is provided in each of the processing nodes for storing in parallel use status information indicating whether the resource is in exclusive use status or not. The computer system can also include a plurality of request issue circuits, each being provided in each of the processing nodes, for issuing individually requests for exclusive use of the resource, a message exchanging circuit for serializing requests issued by the request issue circuits into a serialized order and broadcasting the request to all of the processing nodes in the serialized order and a plurality of status control circuits.

Abstract: In order to reduce load at a resource managing node for exclusive control of a shared resource, each node has a group of lock state registers each corresponding to one of the nodes. Before one node issues a lock request to a resource managing node, the node checks the register group to see if the resource managing node is unlocked. With the target node found to be accessible, the access requesting node sends to a broadcast message exchange circuit a broadcast request message including a lock request regarding the resource managing node. The broadcast message exchange circuit receives such broadcast request messages from access requesting nodes, and changes them serially into broadcast messages for broadcast to all nodes. Of these broadcast messages, the first message received by each node is processed by its lock control circuit so that the lock request in that message is allowed to lock the resource managing node.
