Abstract: A linkage support system links related messages among a plurality of messages sent and received among a plurality of communication terminals. The linkage support system includes an information acquisition unit that acquires message types of the plurality of messages, character strings included in the plurality of messages, and amount of data flow when the character strings are transferred. An unnecessary character strings exclusion unit that excludes character strings that are not required as keywords for linkage processing, based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit, and a processing order determination unit determines order for using a plurality of character strings from which unnecessary character strings are excluded by the unnecessary character strings exclusion unit.

Abstract: A system analysis program which can accurately analyze the operational status of a system without modifying functions of the system for providing services. A message analysis unit analyzes the contents of collected messages, and determines the times of occurrence of the messages, the process types requested by the messages, and whether or not each of the messages is a request message or a response message. In response to an instruction for model generation, a model generation unit generates a transaction model satisfying at least one limiting condition related to caller-called relationships between processes, based on a set of messages selected in accordance with a selection criterion based on the certainty of existence of caller-called relationships. Then, in response to an instruction for analysis, an analysis unit analyzes the processing status of a transaction based on a protocol log conforming to the transaction model.

Abstract: An input/output scheduling unit forms input/output groups obtained by grouping inputs/outputs to/from a disk apparatus. The input/output scheduling unit defines a ratio of the time during which each input/output group uses the disk apparatus and defines quanta &tgr;1 to &tgr;3 during which each input/output group can continuously use the disk apparatus on the basis of the defined time ratios. When input/output requests are received from a plurality of input/output groups to the disk apparatus, the input/output scheduling unit performs the time-sharing for sequentially switching the allocating times &tgr;1 to &tgr;3 between the input/output groups which competed and using the disk apparatus. Further, an allocating time of the remaining quanta is distributed to the quanta on the shortage side by an allocating time control unit in accordance with a degree of jam of each input/output group.

Abstract: A disk time-sharing apparatus is constructed by a disk apparatus having disk drives, an input/output request unit for issuing an input/output request to the disk apparatus, and an input/output scheduling unit. The input/output scheduling unit forms input/output groups obtained by grouping inputs/output sources to/from the disk apparatus, defines a ratio of time during which each input/output group uses the disk apparatus, and decides quanta (allocating time) &tgr;1 to &tgr;3 during which each input/output group can use the disk apparatus continuously on the basis of the defined time ratio. When input/output requests are received to the disk apparatus from a plurality of input/output groups, a time-sharing for using the disk apparatus by switching the allocating time &tgr;1 to &tgr;3 sequentially among the competing input/output groups is performed.

Abstract: A support system of object oriented programming includes a syntax analysis unit supplied with an object-oriented program and analyzing the same, a storage unit for storing convention information that describes a convention of the program, a collation unit for collating a result of analysis of the syntax analysis unit to the convention information held in the storage unit as to whether or not the result of analysis is in conformity with the convention, and a normalization unit for outputting a corrected program of the object-oriented program such that the corrected program is in conformity with the convention, when the result of analysis is in conflict with the convention.

Abstract: A job model with which an organization model representing an organization structure, a document model representing a document structure, and a work model representing a work procedure are correlated, is stored independent from a service model defining each service. When a service is performed, with reference to the job model corresponding to the service model, a service executing module causes a tool control module to control a tool. Thus, the required service is accomplished.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor and a lamination therefor, in which fixing materials are temporarily fixed to the molding faces of a mold through release films. The semiconductor element is then placed in the mold and molding resin is injected into the mold. The resin is heated to produce the semiconductor device. During this process, the fixing materials become embedded in each of the opposite surfaces of the resin.
