A system for updating a hypercube includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to update a cell of the hypercube. The processor is configured to determine a primary dimension value associated with the cell; determine a group of dependencies based at least in part on the primary dimension value, wherein a dependency of the group of dependencies comprises one or more primary dimension values and a pattern; for the dependency of the group of dependencies, determine a set of source locations based at least in part on the one or more primary dimension values and the pattern; and mark the set of source locations as invalid.

Systems and methods for improving computational speed of planning by tracking dependencies in hypercubes

A system for caching includes an interface to receive a portion of a hypercube to evaluate. The hypercube includes cells with a set of the cells having a formula. The system includes a processor to determine term(s) in the formula for each cell of the set of cells; remove from consideration a time dimension and/or a primary dimension for the term(s) in the formula for each cell of the set of cells; determine a set of distinct terms using the term(s); determine whether a total number of terms in the set of cells is larger than a number of distinct terms in the set of distinct terms; and in response to determining that the total number of terms in the set of cells is larger than the number of distinct terms in the set of distinct terms, indicate to cache the set of distinct terms during evaluation.

Embodiments of the present invention improve information exchange, and in particular, the exchange of data objects between different software systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of exchanging information comprising analyzing the attributes of the objects. Objects may be stored in a repository and retrieved using attributes. In some applications, objects are received and sent to participants without accessing any information in the objects themselves. Different applications include object warehousing operable across different communication mediums that support different names or name spaces, classes, aliases, groups, geospatial information, or tokens, or combinations thereof.

Systems and methods for information exchange using object warehousing

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an automated way for a non-technical person to create or modify software functionality in support of a business process without needing expertise in software. According to the invention, an automated matching tool may apply user input expressed semantically to a database of semantic information associated with syntactic information, to match the user input with a service (e.g., an application program) capable of performing a business process step corresponding to the input.

System and method for business process integration

Embodiments of the present invention improve interactive audio task execution in mobile systems such as vehicles, for example. In one embodiment, task interrupt handling is provided to allow user's to resume task execution at or near the point in the task where the interrupt occurred. In one embodiment, a user's confidence that secondary tasks are being performed accurately is improved by providing confirmation and help for users to be more accurate on their secondary tasks. Accordingly, users can increase their confidence and trust in the system and focus more attention on primary tasks, such as driving a vehicle. Some embodiments of the invention further provide for more comprehensive confirmation following an interruption.

Embodiments of the present invention provide improved event handling between systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes software event handling method comprising receiving a first event from a first source system in a plurality of source systems, the first event including event information, accessing context information corresponding to the first event, generating a second event based on at least a portion of the event information and context information using one or more rules, assigning a priority to the second event, and sending the second event to a first target system in a plurality of target systems.

Context based event handling and execution with prioritization and interrupt management

Embodiments of the present invention improve information exchange, and in particular, the exchange of data objects between different software systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of exchanging information comprising receiving a first transport request, the transport request comprising one or more first transport attributes, wherein the one or more first transport attributes are associated with a first data object, storing the one or more first transport attributes and the first data object or a reference to the first data object in a repository, receiving a second transport request, the second transport request comprising one or more second transport attributes, and executing an algorithm for generating a response to the second transport request based on the first or second transport attributes.

Communication systems and methods transfer information between a client device and a vendor device through a firewall between the client device and the vendor device by using a communications protocol that will normally allows pass through the firewall and/or by e embedding the information in a file format that will normally pass through the firewall. The information can be transmitted using the hypertext transfer protocol, and/or is embedded in an HTTP document or in an e-mail message. If the client device is on a secure side of the firewall and the vendor device needs to initiate communication with the client device, the vendor device can send an e-mail message to the client device asking the client device to initiate the communication session. Because the client device has initiated the communication, the firewall should allow the response to the client device's request to pass through from the vendor device to the client device.
