A system and method for file clustering, multi-drive forensic analysis and protection of sensitive data. Multiple memory devices can store files. A module can extract characteristics from the stored files, identify similarities between the files based on the extracted characteristics and generate file clusters based on the identified similarities. A visual representation of the file clusters, which can be generated to show the identified similarities among the files, can be displayed by a user interface module.

Systems and methods for file clustering, multi-drive forensic analysis and data protection

Methods, systems and media are provided for turning large volumes of globally distributed data into actionable information by building a distributed semantic graph and maintaining such graph with up to date changes in data and client needs are provided. The semantic graph can be used to run subscriptions over interconnected semantic servers where each server can be capable of coupling to data sources, client applications and other semantic servers.

Systems and methods for the management of information to enable the rapid dissemination of actionable information

Systems and methods are provided to enhance biometric data available to authorities to identify individuals by linking the available biometric data semantically to data from other sources to improve identity management using a semantic computing server that builds a semantic graph based on the data. Using a semantic graph helps determine the identity and possible intention to deceive of certain individuals.

Systems and methods for providing semantically enhanced identity management

A method, system and apparatus for routing data through a network based on the content or semantics of the data. Semantic routing engines route the data through the network based upon information maintained in routing tables. The routing tables used to route the content through the network are derived by aggregating information about either content consumers or content producers into ontological.

High-performance addressing and routing of data packets with semantically descriptive labels in a computer network

The present invention changes the wireless information service paradigm from a connection-oriented unicast network model to a dynamic content-driven multicast model using a technique called 'content routing.' The present invention provides a system, method, and medium for routing content through a network from at least one content provider to at least one content consumer, wherein at least one of the content consumer or content provider communicate with the network using a wireless device. The content is routed though the network based on its content. The content is labeled with at least one content descriptor. The content descriptor characterizes or otherwise describes the content. Interest profiles are received from content consumers. Interest profiles from content consumers with a common network access point are aggregated into a single interest profile. Interest profiles can include more than the wireless consumers stated interest, such as for example, a content consumer's geographic location, the capabilities of the wireless terminal, type of service, policy preferences, and the like. Single interest profiles are shared across neighboring network access points to create a content routing table. Content, labeled with at least one descriptor, is routed through the network to content consumers based, in part, on content routing tables created from wireless content consumers'profiles.

Dynamic content based multicast routing in mobile networks

A method, system and apparatus for routing data through a network based on the content or semantics of the data. Semantic routing engines route the data through the network based upon information maintained in routing tables. The routing tables used to route the content through the network are derived by aggregating information about either content consumers or content producers into ontological trees.

A new concept of soft quality-of-service (soft-QoS) is developed that bridges the gap between the efficient provision of network-level QoS and the requirements of multimedia applications. Soft-QoS is defined by a satisfaction index (a number that rates users' perceptual quality) and a softness profile (a function that captures the robustness of multimedia applications to network congestion). Another aspect of this invention is a bandwidth allocation scheme for multimedia applications with soft-QoS requirements is presented. The implementation of the bandwidth allocation scheme on a network element realizes a soft-QoS controller. The controller uses the connections' softness profiles to compute a bandwidth allocation that maximizes the minimum satisfaction index of active connections.

There is disclosed a decentralized flow control technique based on microeconomics. In this framework, there are three important entities: switches, network brokers and users. Switches independently price their resources to provide flow control and to encourage high utilization. A network broker, located at the entrance of the network, works as an agent for a user, monitoring the budget, prices and needs. Using this information the network broker may purchase resources to maximize the user's quality of service. This approach has several advantages such as: decentralized control, minimal signaling, Pareto-optimal resource distribution, price stability and high network utilization.

Multiplexer system using constant bit rate encoders

Asynchronous control signal generating apparatus

A system for variable bit-rate video coding in which encoding bandwidth as characterized by a usage parameter control (UPC) parameters is renegotiated between a video encoder and an asynchronous transfer mode network in order to maintain quality-of-service and save bandwidth. The coding system includes adjusting the video source quantization in a manner for controlling the occupancy level of a buffer while new UPC parameters are requested from an ATM network.
