Simplified sharing of information among service-provision systems. A first message (Msg) containing service information is transmitted from a first service-provision server () to a first service controller () [#1], wherein it is interpreted, and, for example, a second message (Msg) is created from the service information contained in the first message (Msg) and is transmitted to a message router () [#2]. The second message (Msg) is further sent to a router controller () and interpreted [#3], and an action rule is determined [#4]. The action rule is executed by the message router (), whereby the second message (Msg) is transmitted to a second service controller () [#5]. As a result, a portion of the service information contained in the second message (Mesg) is extracted, and a third message (Msg) is created and transmitted to a second service-provision server () [#6]. The second service-provision server () receives the third message (Msg) and carries out processes corresponding to services that are provided.

Information is quickly offered to users who require the information. In a system in which questions and answers are exchanged, when a given user other than the questioner becomes interested in a question, the user requests a notification serverto present the question. The answers to the question are automatically sent to a notification clientof the user. The answers to be sent may be either all the answers to the question or only the effective answers. Supports to the answers and comments on the answers may be accepted to decide the effectiveness of the answers.

Notification method and notification device

An updating and reference management system with an area management unit and a timing unit for a shared memory. Processes access the shared memory in an identical time frame, determined by the timing unit, such that update or reference requests by the processes for the shared memory are held by the area management unit in each time interval between control signals generated by the timing unit. The update or reference requests are executed at the time of each control signal. Processing objects manage the update or reference requests for respective portions of the shared memory. The managing objects for the shared memory also pre-process potentially conflicting update requests to the same portions of the shared memory such that the shared memory is updated with different data, determined to be appropriate by the respective managing object.

Updating and reference management system and reference timing control

There is provided a periodic process load control system for controlling a load of a CPU in conjunction with an execution of a periodic process in a multiple-process operating system having the CPU in which a plurality of processes including a periodic process activated periodically are executed on a time division basis, and a periodic process recording medium for storing a periodic process into which such a load control function is incorporated. A time interval in which the periodic process is repeatedly executed is measured to evaluate a load evaluation value consisting of an accumulation value of the time intervals. A load of the periodic process itself is controlled in accordance with the load evaluation value.
