Enhancing situational awareness in operations management includes: generating a user interface incorporating multiple display interfaces; receiving event data for a plurality of events monitored by an operator viewing the multiple display interfaces; receiving context data for the plurality of events, wherein the context data is received from multiple sources; matching the plurality of the events with the context data; determining the events which the operator must handle as priority events; displaying the priority events; and reducing saliency of any events and tasks that are not associated with the priority events.

Designing operations interface to enhance situational awareness

A computing system architecture is based upon a peer-to-peer, asynchronous model. The architecture specifies a set of infrastructure facilities that comprise an inter-prise operating system. The inter-prise operating system provides all the facilities that make application coding as easy in the peer-to-peer asynchronous model as it is in a hierarchical, synchronous model. Services, which reside in containers, are linked asynchronously by an inter-prise bus and use data from a virtual data store.

Distributed computing system architecture

A method of and system for conducting electronic commerce segments an enterprise is segmented into a single firm side system, and multiple customer facing and street side systems. The firm side system maintains a single system of record for the enterprise. The customer facing systems provide an interface between the enterprise and the customer. The street side systems are in communication with the customer facing systems. The street side systems provide an interface between the enterprise and various markets.

Method of and system for processing transactions

A method and apparatus generates identifiers of database records apart from the database. One or more application programs may request an identifier of a transaction, and a stored identifier of a prior transaction is incremented or otherwise altered to produce the identifier of the transaction. The identifier is provided to the application program, which uses it as an identifier of a record of a database if such a record is created. If a system failure occurs, the database is scanned to identify the most recently issued identifier stored in the database, for example by requesting from the database the highest transaction number stored, and that number is used to generate the next transaction number.

System and method for rapidly generating identifiers for records of a database

A computing system architecture is based upon a peer-to-peer, asynchronous model. The architecture specifies a set of infrastructure facilities that comprise an inter-prise operating system. The inter- prise operating system provides all the facilities that make application coding as easy in the peer-to-peer asynchronous model as it is in a hierarchical, synchronous model.
