The present invention provides a technique for measuring the efficiency of components in a computer. An echo server is provided which comprises several units. A socket generation unit generates a receiving server socket on the basis of information on a correspondence between a plurality of components in a computer. And generates a client socket that is a dedicated socket inheriting information of the receiving server socket when data is transmitted. A stream acquisition unit acquires a transmission path for acquiring data transmitted and received between components. A thread generation unit generates a transmission path by coupling streams. A transfer execution unit transfers data acquired via a thread to an original destination component. Using these units, the technique monitors and running verifies behavior by observing data running on the network.

Technique for monitoring component processing

There is provided a message hub apparatus for efficiently processing service processing messages in an enterprise system. The message hub apparatus stores a value of minimum residence time as minimum time during which the service processing message is to reside in a message queue. The message present in the message queue is transmitted to a service provider on condition that the minimum residence time has elapsed. The apparatus performs a merge processing of the received service processing message and the service processing message which resides in the queue. A history of the merge processing stored in the apparatus is analyzed, and the value of the minimum residence time is modified based on an analysis result.

Message hub apparatus, program product, and method

A user interface for analyzing multiple dimension data, with which a great number of multiple dimension data sets can be easily and intuitively analyzed and edited. At the least, data having two dimensions are selected from among multiple dimension data. Then, the selected data are assigned to respective coordinate axes so that the coordinate axes cross each other, or intersect each other if two-dimensional data are selected. The coordinate axes are divided, using a predetermined threshold value, into a number of segments, and these segments are assembled to define composite areas for all the coordinate axes. Data are displayed in each of the composite areas in order to enable analysis and editing of multiple dimension data. As a result, in the preferred embodiment, a great number of multiple dimension data sets can be easily and intuitively analyzed and edited.

User interface for analyzing multiple dimension data

In a software distributedly preparing method for preparing a plurality of program modules combined by exchange of message data, in generating software modules and message data, repetition or similarity in the defined contents of the message data and multiple definition of a data item constituting the message data, and the defined contents of the message data are unified or separated to assure its consistency and preparing it as a data base which will be used in preparing a software module.

Method for producing program modules

In a processing method for a distributed processing system have a plurality of processors connected through a network for transferring programs among the processors, each processor introduces a program which circulates in the network, assesses the state of the processor for storing the program in that processor, and judges on the basis of the assessment information whether the introduced program is to be executed in that processor.

Method of and apparatus for re-allocating programs in a distributed

Several processors and several communication control units are connected to a transmission medium. Each communication control unit has one or more terminal devices connected to it, and so any terminal device can be coupled to any processor. Each processor includes a central processing unit, a memory, and a control manager. The memory stores first information regarding processing being done with a terminal device coupled to the processor and second information regarding the communication control units connected to each of the processors and regarding the terminal devices being serviced by the processor. The control manager manages the communication control units based on the stored information. Information about the connections between the processors and the communication control units is broadcast to all processors. If any processor is faulty, another processor can take over the processing being done by the faulty processor. Likewise, further, processors can be added to the network, and their connection status is known to all other processors.

Information handling method and system utilizing multiple interconnected

An interactive intelligent interface in a system which performs an interactive processing making the system recognize the capacity of a user of the system. The system has a function of providing a processing method conformable to the recognized capacity of the system user, whereby a processing method to be performed by the system is changed in accordance with the operating or processing capacity of the system user so that a procedure desired by the system user can be performed irrespective of the operating or processing capacity of the system user.
