A method and system of transmitting data via a computer network to a plurality of end-users. Transmission of successive data units may be prompted by human-operated and/or automated central control. Successive arrays of data units may be transmitted over a plurality of channels, in parallel. Each end-user chooses which channel or channels to receive and may change channels at will. Transmission of successive arrays may coincide with successive occurrences during the course of a live event. Data units also may be transmitted over one or more channels asynchronously with transmissions over other channels. Controller-prompted transmissions, received passively by end-users, also may be integrated with a facility for end-users to browse data sources in a self-directed sequence and pace.

A method (and system) for generating a structured representation from an unstructured description includes receiving, by a computer, an unstructured description, and generating, by the computer, a structured representation based upon the unstructured description.

System and method for guided and assisted structuring of unstructured information

A method for malware detection, wherein the method includes: utilizing a hardware based program flow monitor (PFM) for embedded software that employs a static analysis of program code; marrying the program code to addresses, while considering which central processing unit (CPU) is executing the program code; capturing an expected control flow of the program code, and storing the control flow as physical address pairs of leaders and followers (LEAD-FOLL pair) in a Metadata Store (MDS) within the PFM; monitoring control flow at runtime by the PFM; and comparing runtime control flow with the expected control flow.

There is provided a method for generating a software module based upon elements from multiple software modules. The method includes the step of extracting a plurality of sets of elements from the multiple software modules based upon at least one extraction criterion. Any elements in the sets that violate at least one correctness and completeness criterion are identified. The violating elements are automatically brought into compliance with the at least one correctness and completeness criterion. A plurality of single software modules is generated, wherein each of the single software modules contains one of the sets of elements. The plurality of single software modules are composed to form a final, single software module. The extracting step may include the steps of: classifying the elements in the multiple software modules according to concerns the elements pertain to; representing the concerns by a multi-dimensional space, wherein each dimension represents a type of concern, each coordinate on a dimension represents a concern of that type, and each point in the space represents an element; and representing the at least one extraction criterion in terms of the multi-dimensional space.

A system and method for integrating entities using a graphic user interface (GUI) to provide user-interactive rule-based matching and difference reconciliation. In one aspect, a system for integrating entities employs a combination of default matching and reconciliation approaches and user tailoring to generate a composite entity from one or more input entities using a set of composition rules. The set of composition rules comprises a combination of default rules, as well as rules that represent user interactions that are performed via a graphical user interface when the user edits a composite result. The rules are captured and then stored persistently when the user requests that the composition be saved, such that the rules may be retrieved during a subsequent editing session associated with the same inputs. If the inputs change, the integration process (as specified by the rules) can automatically handle many changes. It is only when changed elements of the input are, or need to be, subject to specific rules that additional tailoring may be required.
