A method and system of simulating a cost of shipment are provided. A request for quote (RFQ) is received by a computing device from a shipper having a plurality of trade lanes. A revenue generated from each trade lane is estimated and ranked based on the estimated revenue. An original time limit is assigned to each trade lane. A trade lane with a highest ranking that has not yet been selected is selected. For the selected trade lane, graphs for space and time granularity analysis are generated. Space and time granularities that maximize accuracy within the assigned time limit based on the generated graphs are calculated. Cost simulation analysis is performed using the calculated space and time granularities. Upon determining that there are trade lanes not yet selected, there is a return to the act of selecting a trade lane.

Content of a web-based application is displayed in a window of a web browser application. A selection of the display region is received from a user or a computer implemented system. A locked region is defined based on the selection. When instructions to modify the content of web-based application is received, the instructions are executed except those to modify the locked region.

Managing a web-based application's display

A small baseline audio sample is sampled when a person initially calls in and the sample is held only for the duration of the call. For each subsequent transfer, a comparison is made to the baseline established from the initial call and at the end of the call the voice sample is discarded so no resources need to be maintained. Speaker verification and VOIP technologies are used to persist the customer's verification information as service representative hand-offs occur.
