Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (1900) for configuring a computer network (“CN”). The methods comprise: receiving Access Control Information (“ACI”) input to a first network node (101-103, 105-107) by a user assigned to a mission; verifying that the user has a right to have access to the CN (100) based on the ACI; granting the user access to CN in response to the verifying; and obtaining Mission Related Information (“MRI”) by the first network node. The MRI is associated with the user and at least identifies a first mission plan (120) specifying a manner in which an assigned value for at least one first identity parameter is to be dynamically modified by at least one node (105-107, 113, 114) of CN. Thereafter, the first network node or a second network node (105-107, 113, 114) of CN is configured to operate in accordance with the first mission plan.

Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (1400) for enterprise mission management of a Computer Network (“CN”). The methods involve configuring CN to operate in accordance with a first Mission Plan (“MP”) specifying a manner in which an assigned value for a first IDentity Parameter (“IDP”) is to be dynamically modified by a first node of CN; detecting a trigger event which indicates that a new MP needs to be implemented within CN; obtaining a second MP that specifies a manner in which an assigned value for a second IDP is to be dynamically modified by a second node of CN; determining if any conflicts exist between operations of the second node defined by the second MP and operations of the first node defined by the first MP; and configuring operations of CN to further operate in accordance with the second MP if it is determined that no conflict exists.

Abstract: A switch and methods for its use are disclosed. The switch includes input and output circuitry for receiving and forwarding data packets to computing devices connected to the network. The switch also includes a memory configured to store a number of tables relating the ports to the physical addresses of computing devices connected to the switch. The switch is capable of correctly forwarding data packets which specify false identity parameters. The switch is also capable of dynamic forwarding used to forward data packets across many paths to the destination. The switch is also capable of forwarding data packets to one of a number of output ports based on a comparison of at least one of the identity parameters that specifies false information to a table stored in memory.

Abstract: A method for processing documents in a document database includes determining vocabulary words for each document, and determining a respective relevancy for each vocabulary word based upon occurrences thereof in all of the documents. Similarities are determined between the documents based upon the vocabulary words and their respective relevancies. At least one domain identification is determined for the documents based upon the determined similarities.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing documents in a multi-lingual document database includes generating an initial ranking of retrieved multi-lingual documents using an information retrieval system and based upon a user search query, and processing vocabulary words based upon occurrences thereof in at least some of the retrieved multi-lingual documents. Respective relevancies of the vocabulary words based on the occurrences thereof and the user search query are generated. A re-ranking of the retrieved multi-lingual documents is generated based on the relevancies of the vocabulary words.
