Abstract: A method and a system for modernizing an elevator installation including two or more elevators includes an unmodernized elevator, one or more call-giving devices, a new group controller, which is connected to the elevator installation for allocating an elevator call to be given with a call-giving device to be served by an elevator belonging to the elevator installation, and also a measuring device, which is configured to measure an operating parameter of an unmodernized elevator. The aforementioned measuring device is connected to the new group controller for communicating the aforementioned operating parameter to the new group controller.

Abstract: A systematic modeling methodology for information personalization automatically adjusts information content, structure, and presentation to an individual user of the information. Termed PIPE (Personalization is Partial Evaluation), the invention makes no commitments to a particular algorithm, format for information resources, type of information-seeking activities or, more basically, the nature of personalization delivered. Instead, it emphasizes the modeling of an information space in a way where descriptions of information-seeking activities can be represented as partial information. Such partial information is then exploited (in the model) by partial evaluation, a technique popular in the programming languages community.
