20090265686 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING RESOURCES USING A COMPOSITIONAL PROGRAMMING MODEL - A system and method for managing resources in a programming environment includes providing mutable entities including related data including triples, listening for changes in the related data, and triggering a first construct in accordance with the changes in the related data to update the mutable entities. Updates are propagated from the first construct to other constructs such that a cascade of updates occurs. The cascade of updates is executed concurrently such that the updates are propagated to completion and are executed all at once relative to other cascades of executing constructs. | 10-22-2009 |
20090276479 | DISTRIBUTED EXECUTION MODEL FOR CROSS-ORGANIZATIONAL DECLARATIVE WEB APPLICATIONS - A system and method for distributed computation includes providing a first service of a first computation node in a network of nodes, the first service having a first resource, the first resource including one of references to data and other resources. In a second service on a second computation node, the first resource is reference-able by associating the first resource in the second service for use in the second service. A distributed computation is performed across node boundaries using the references of the first resource to perform the computation in the first service and in the second service. | 11-05-2009 |

One of more triples in the set of triples are processed according to one or more attributes of each triple in the set of triples to permit accessing, querying, creating, and updating resource description framework (RDF) data structures in at least one of a script language and an object oriented language by providing a set of language extensions. | 04-01-2010 |
20120030577 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA-DRIVEN WEB PAGE NAVIGATION CONTROL - A system and method for web application navigation control includes updating navigation data models used in navigation constraints with received data from an end-user or system. Without needing a centralized application-specific controller, from a collection of extensible navigation rules associated with each page of a plurality of pages, the extensible navigation rules are automatically selected which depend on changed data values and need re-evaluation. The navigation constraints associated only with the pages potentially changing their ready state to execute from among the plurality of pages in an entire application are evaluated to determine which pages are ready to run based on updated data from the navigation data models. A preferred page to be actually navigated to next is selected from among a set of all available and ready pages by execution of a set of second and separate navigation constraints using results of the navigation constraints of the evaluating step. | 02-02-2012 |

20150019228 | AUTOMATED CONFIRMATION AND DISAMBIGUATION MODULES IN VOICE APPLICATIONS - A method for providing a voice application includes executing control flow logic modeling a dialog flow with a user via a voice browser. The control flow logic produces a disambiguation requirement. A disambiguation module is initiated and a set of at least two candidates and partitioning criteria is sent from the control flow logic to the module. Attributes of the candidates are analyzed to determine a partitioning score for each attribute indicative of ability to distinguish between candidates based on the partitioning criteria. The attributes are sorted based on the partitioning scores. The user is queried based on a top-sorted attribute and results of the query are used to reduce the set of candidates. The steps of analyzing, sorting, and querying are repeated until the set of candidates is reduced to a single candidate. The single candidate is returned to the control flow logic for continued execution. | 01-15-2015 |
