An example of a solution provided here comprises defining one or more combinations of options, defining an operation to execute (e.g. copy and paste, or cut and paste), computing the content of each cell within the source cell range according to the options, creating a version instance of the destination cell range, and copying the source range of cells into the version instance. Each of the options is defined as a boolean variable, which can be set as 'True' or 'False,' and impact the content of a cell within an electronic spreadsheet.

Method and system in an electronic spreadsheet for handling user-defined options in a copy/cut&#x2014;paste operation

An example of a solution provided here involves identifying two series of cells to be compared in a multi dimensional spreadsheet, performing intermediary tests, and deriving the result of the comparison: the first series may be included in the second series, include the second series, be the same as the second series, overlap the second series, or be disjoined from the second series, for example.

Methods, systems and programs in an information processing system comprising one or a plurality of devices managed by a manager device, for decreasing the cost of monitoring measurements, while using conventional techniques for managing problems. The cost saving is achieved when the managed devices conform to the expected quality of service. This saving does not negatively affect the response time required to detect either solid failures or performance problems.

Method for dynamically adjusting performance measurements according to provided service level

In case of a failure in a high speed packet switching network, the failure information provided by the multiplicity of resources is registered in the access nodes of the network. The failure information can be retrieved by the network management on request for fault correlation. A plurality of alarms flooding the network management when a failure occurs is thus avoided.
