Creating blocks in instance blockchain base on a promised block in a generic blockchain

A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium is provided for creating a blockchain instance and aligning the instance blockchain to a generic blockchain for tracking a multi-step process. Aspects of the invention comprise performing by a blockchain system: accessing data for the creation of a block in a blockchain instance; comparing said data with data associated with a block in a generic blockchain; and for each block in the generic blockchain where the data in the block corresponds to the accessed data, creating a block in the blockchain instance for the accessed data; and performing an alignment operation to indicate that the created block is equivalent to the block in the generic blockchain.

Alignment of blockchains to a generic blockchain

A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium is provided for storing, in a blockchain system, at least one generic finite blockchain comprising representative blocks, each corresponding to at least one step in a multi-step process; dynamically generating at least one finite blockchain instance based on said at least one generic finite blockchain; receiving, by a processor, change evidence data pertaining to at least one step in said multi-step process; and performing an update operation comprising updating the at least one finite blockchain instance based on said change evidence data.

Systems and methods for correlating and referencing blockchains are described herein. An example method may include providing a database configured to store at least one grid. The grid comprises positions referenced by coordinates. The method may include acquiring, by a processor communicatively coupled to the database, a plurality of blockchains. The method may further include mapping, by the processor, the blockchains to the positions within the grid. The method may include acquiring, by the processor, a subset of coordinates ({P}) corresponding to a subset of the positions within the grid and a set of specifications ({S}). The specifications include an instruction for selection of blocks of one or blockchains mapped to on or more position of the subset of the positions. The method may include associating a function F({P}, {S}) with a further position within the grid, wherein the function F ({P}, {S}) operates on contents of the selected blocks.

Correlating and referencing blockchains

Provided are systems and methods for managing a database. In an example system, information stored in cells includes a row identifier, a column identifier, a value identifier, and a transaction identifier. The system includes a cell domain and one or more cell buffers. Both the cell domain and cell buffer include a plurality of cells, a row sequence ordering the row identifiers of cells, and a column sequence ordering the column identifiers. Additionally, the cell domain includes row and column identifier generators and transaction and value sequences. The system further includes a transfer module operable to transfer cells from a cell buffer to the cell domain, and a reader module operable to output cells, upon receiving a request buffer, from the cell domain to a response buffer. A set of constraints is applied when outputting cells to the response buffer based on the information stored in the request buffer.

Cell-based database management system

The present disclosure features systems and methods for maintaining consistency of a CAD model across a plurality of homogenous or heterogeneous applications across one or more computing devices and used by one or more users. The systems include a common data model, comprising chapters of different information items to describe various aspects of the CAD model, and lightweight change instructions representative of modifications made by a user to a chapter of the CAD model. By utilizing a common data model and difference-based change instructions, a plurality of users may concurrently collaborate on the design of a CAD model, or a single user may utilize a plurality of applications of a CAD suite efficiently and with an enhanced user experience.

Methods and systems for managing synchronization of a plurality of information items of a computer-aided design data model

A method, system and computer program product for managing information is disclosed. The information is stored in a database accessible to a plurality of users. A part of the information is isolated from the database. A user can modify the isolated part of the information. The modified information is compared with the isolated information and a set of changes is extracted from the comparison. The set of changes are appended to the information in the database. Each part of the information in the database has a version associated with it. When changes to a part of the information are appended, the modified part is versioned in an incremental fashion. Prior versions of a part of the information can be accessed and modified by the users.
