Abstract: There is provided a firmware updating technique for which consumed memory and writing time are small for devices subject to a firmware update, for which the distributed update size is small, and which is performed via a broadcast network. To this end, assuming that the latest firmware version is N, there is provided a means that extracts differences between firmware of version j?i and firmware of version i (j?1?j differences) for j=2 to N, and that distributes these differences together via the broadcast network. With respect to a device subject to an update comprising firmware of version i, there is provided a means that saves, of the distributed j?1?j differences (where 2?j?N), only the differences for which j<i in a storage area, generates an i?N difference based on the saved j?1?j differences (where i?j?N), and updates the firmware in flash memory based on the content of the i?N difference (see FIG. 1).

Abstract: A data processing system provides a set of service value maps (SVMs) each having a plurality of nodes and linkages between nodes, forms a network model based on the SVMs and analyses the network model to compute aggregate values for the nodes to enable an identification of a node that matches at least one criterion. Analyzing can include using a degree centrality process where a value for each node is defined as a number of outgoing edges from the node, or an eigenvalue centrality process where a value of a node is proportional to a value of those nodes that the node is connected to. Each SVM can be represented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) where each edge between nodes is an edge in the DAG. The at least one criterion can include a highest valued node identifying a value aggregation point (VAP) of the set of SVMs.
