At least one subsystem among the plurality of subsystems includes a managing section operable to manage individual route information for routes in a management target region of the at least one subsystem among the plurality of regions and adjacent route information for routes positioned in a partial range from a boundary of the management target region among routes in an adjacent region that is adjacent to the management target region, and an identifying section operable to identify the route on which the moving object is positioned based on the observation position, by using the individual route information and the adjacent route information managed by the at least one subsystem. Also provided is a method and computer program product.

Geographic space management

Aspects capable of dynamically and flexibly supporting a plurality of locales upon provisioning are provided. An associated management server includes a storage table configured to store a plurality of logical device operations, a plurality of locales, and a plurality of workflows, wherein each resource server among all resource servers connected to the management server is associated with a different one of the plurality of locales. The management server further includes a provisioning circuit configured to dynamically determine, for a required logical device operation, a resource server among all of the resource servers connected to the management server by way of provisioning. The management server further includes a calling circuit configured to search the storage table using a locale among the plurality of locales that is associated with the dynamically determined resource server to select a workflow from the plurality of workflows for the required logical device operation.

Facilitating provisioning in a mixed environment of locales

A system comprising: an event server including a plurality of event agents for handling events occurring in a geographic space; a selector operable to select an event agent among the plurality of event agents for handling an event candidate based on a type of a source information; and a mobile object server including a mobile object agent assigned to a moving object in the geographic space, wherein the mobile object server is operable to execute the mobile object agent to collect information of an event from the selected event agent and provide the moving object with information that assists the moving object with traveling in the geographic space.

Management of events and moving objects

A method for stream-processing data including a missing part in real time and thereafter updating the result of the stream processing. A technique for processing data is included. The technique includes receiving data; detecting a probably missing part in the received data while stream-processing the received data in real time; and comparing master data corresponding to the received data and having no missing part with the probably missing part, and if the received data has the missing part, updating the result of the stream processing using the master data.

Stream-processing data

A system is provided that manages a geographic space including a route on which a moving object moves, including a plurality of subsystems operable to respectively manage maps of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing the geographic space, and a region manager operable to adjust loads of the subsystems by dynamically changing a boundary of at least one region among the plurality of regions. Also provided is a method and computer program product.

A system is provided that manages a geographic space including a route on which a moving object moves, including a subsystem operable to manage a map of the geographic space, and an update manager operable to change a boundary of an update block, which is a unit of an update contained in the map, according to an extent to which the update block is updated. Also provided is a method and computer program product.
