Abstract: A system and method for automatic conversions of units of measure in a wireless communication network are provided. With the system and method, when a wireless communication device enters a region of a wireless network, the wireless communication device registers with the wireless network. The registration includes the creation of a database entry at the mobile switching center that includes an indication of the origin, such as the country code, of the wireless communication device. Based on this indication of origin, a conversion function may be identified for converting of units of measure to a format that is most likely to be understood by a user of the wireless communication device. When a text based message is sent to the wireless communication device, the text message is received by the mobile switching center which determines how to route the text message and parses the text message to identify any portions of the text message that include a unit of measure that may need to be converted.

Abstract: An asynchronous execution process to allow a compiler or interpreter to recognize code elements that may be executed out of order and to create a light weight thread for execution of the code element. This light weight thread may be executed on another processor in a multiprocessing environment. An “async” keyword is included in a language to indicate that a statement may be executed asynchronously with respect to the other statements at the same nesting level. The “async” keyword may also be used to modify the declaration of a function to indicate that it is safe to run the affected method out of order with other statements in a block. An “async_end” keyword is included in a language to indicate that asynchronous execution of a statement, block of code, or method must be complete before the next statement, block of code, or method may be executed.
