Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of data from a first processing system is archived onto a second processing system based on partitions of the data. A query received at the first processing system is processed at the second processing system to retrieve archived data satisfying the received query in response to determining at the first processing system that the received query encompasses archived data. Embodiments of the present invention further include methods, systems, and computer program products for archiving and accessing data in substantially the same manner described above.

Abstract: A first epoch column pair includes a first global identification (ID) having first maximum value. A second epoch column pair includes a second global identification having second maximum value. The first epoch column pair receives first snapshots, and the first global ID increases with each of the first snapshots. When first global ID reaches first maximum value minus 1, switch to the second epoch column pair. The second epoch column pair receives second snapshots, and second global ID increases with each of the second snapshots. First global ID and first epoch column pair are reset, based on conditions. When second global ID reaches first maximum value minus 1, switch back to first epoch column pair. The first epoch column pair again receives first snapshots, and the first global ID increases with each of the second snapshots. Second global ID and second epoch column pair are reset, based on conditions.

Abstract: A cell-specific dictionary is applied adaptively to adequate cells, where the cell-specific dictionary subsequently optimizes the handling of frequency-partitioned multi-dimensional data. This includes improved data partitioning with super cells or adjusting resulting cells by sub-dividing very large cells and merging multiple small cells, both of which avoid the highly skewed data distribution in cells and improve the query processing. In addition, more efficient encoding is taught within a cell in case the distinct values that actually appear in that cell are much smaller than the size of the column dictionary.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of network portals and in particular to a method and system for exchanging data between components of one or more composite applications implemented on a portal server, wherein the components are programmed independently from each other. An embodiment of the invention includes: automatically intercepting I/O data being input or output respectively to or from the components or a browser; extracting data objects from the I/O data; determining for a source component, which of the data objects match input requirements of which other potential target components; selecting matching data objects for a matching target component; and transferring the matching data objects to the matching target component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to software development in a networked environment, and in particular to method and system for automatically assisted generation of composite applications (44) which are composed of a plurality of instantiable components, wherein a composite application infrastructure (CAI) component (15) handles application instances (19) during runtime and manages connections and data flow between said components of a composite application, and wherein a templating application infrastructure (TAI) component (13) manages templates (23) which contain references to said instantiable components.
