A system and method for managing resources in a programming environment includes providing mutable entities including related data including triples, listening for changes in the related data, and triggering a first construct in accordance with the changes in the related data to update the mutable entities. Updates are propagated from the first construct to other constructs such that a cascade of updates occurs. The cascade of updates is executed concurrently such that the updates are propagated to completion and are executed all at once relative to other cascades of executing constructs.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for selecting one of a plurality of scanner nodes to perform scan operations for an interface node receiving a file request. A list includes a plurality of scanner nodes in a network and for each scanner node a performance value. One of the scanner nodes in the list is selected based on the performance values of the scanner nodes and the file is transmitted to the selected scanner node to perform a scan operation with respect to the file. Indication is received from the selected scanner node performing the scan operation whether a subset of code in the file matches code in a definition set. The file request is processed to result in execution of the file request based on the indication of whether the subset of code in the file matches a definition in the definition set.

In a computer speech recognition system, the present invention provides a method and system for recognizing and executing a voice command that has a dictation portion. Upon receiving a user input, the spoken utterance is processed to identify a pattern of words which matches a pre-determined command pattern. Then, computer system command is identified that corresponds to the pre-determined command pattern and has at least one parameter. The parameter is extracted from a dictation portion of the spoken utterance which is separate from the pattern of words matching the command pattern. The computer system command is then processed to perform an event in accordance with the parameter. If the spoken utterance does not contain a pattern of words matching a pre-determined command pattern, then the spoken utterance is recognized as dictation and inserted at a specified location into an electronic document or other system or application software.
