A system and method are provided for transmitting data from a server to a client via blocks. A user query for a solution set is transmitted to a server, which is then used to query a database for a first subset of the solution set. A first block of data is built from data in the database of the server, containing a subset of the solution set, and is then sent to the client over a network. When a second request from the client for the data in the database of the server is received, a second block of the data sets is queried from the database, built, and then transmitted to the client over the network.

An end-to-end process modeler comprising a vertically integrated process modeler to provide a design aspect for a non-technical user (520) and an implementation aspect for a technical user, the vertically integrated process modeler designed to create a complete executable process (160).

A method and apparatus for an integrated process modeller

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for assigning a view to an activity. Notification is received that a startup event of an activity has occurred. A reference to a first instance of an object created by the startup event of the activity is also received. A view to launch is determined in response to the receipt of the notification and the reference. The view is based on predetermined criteria. The view is associated with the activity and displayed.

The present invention provides a solution to the needs described above through a system and method for managing data exchange among systems in a network. The systems and methods of the present invention translate data from a system specific local format to a generic interchange format object, and vice versa, with predefined stylesheets using generic components and a system specific service components which utilize a native application programming interface of the specific local system.

Method and apparatus for managing data exchange among systems in a network

With the growing deployment of host and network intrusion detection systems, managing reports from these systems becomes critically important. We present a probabilistic approach to alert correlation, extending ideas from multisensor data fusion. Features used for alert correlation are based on alert content that anticipates evolving IETF standards. The probabilistic approach provides a unified mathematical framework for correlating alerts that match closely but not perfectly, where the minimum degree of match required to fuse alerts is controlled by a single configurable parameter. Only features in common are considered in the fusion algorithm. For each feature we define an appropriate similarity function. The overall similarity is weighted by a specifiable expectation of similarity. In addition, a minimum similarity may be specified for some or all features. Features in this set must match at least as well as the minimum similarity specification in order to combine alerts, regardless of the goodness of match on the feature set as a whole. Our approach correlates attacks over time, correlates reports from heterogeneous sensors, and correlates multiple attack steps.

Probabilistic Alert Correlation

A computer-assisted software engineering system facilitates the design, implementation, and execution of applications in cooperative processing environments Design tools create, store, retrieve, and edit system specifications in a repository Construction tools generate applications from the systems specification created by the design tools A run-time execution architecture is provided for executing the applications on a plurality of computer hardware platforms The run-time execution architecture includes pre-programmed presentation services for interacting with the user and pre-programmed distribution services for routing and transferring messages

Computer-assisted software engineering system for cooperative processing environments

A system, method and article of manufacture for the management of data during activation of local telecommunication service. More particularly to an on-line transaction controller that provides predetermined network information, the information residing in a storage medium. Requests are generated by one of a plurality of modules that are received by the controller. The requests provide transactional information. The transactional information is compared to the predetermined network information. The comparison bases decisions on the business rules. The transactional information is manipulated upon detection of a discrepancy relative to the predetermined network information.

On-line transaction control during activation of local telecommunication service

A process is provided for submitting a service request in a local service management system A core telecommunication system is interfaced for receiving a core telecommunication system request from the core telecommunication system Thereafter, such core telecommunication system request is translated to a predetermined protocol The core telecommunication system request is then sent to a local service provider Next, an order confirmation is received upon validation of the core telecommunication system request by the local service provider The system request is processed by the local service provider Further, a completion notification is received upon completion of a partitioning of the core telecommunication system request in a plurality of duties assigned to different local service providers

Process for submitting and handling a service request in a local service management system

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for interfacing with a core telecommunication system and a local service provider. First, a core telecommunication system is interfaced for handling core telecommunication system requests and responses received from the core telecommunication system and translated to a predetermined protocol. Similarly, a local service provider is interfaced for handling local service provider requests and responses received from the local service provider. The local service provider requests and responses are also translated to the predetermined protocol. In use, the core telecommunication system requests and responses are communicated with the local service provider and the local service provider requests and responses are communicated with the core telecommunication system for management purposes.

Management interface between a core telecommunication system and a local service provider

A system, method, and article of manufacture in accordance with the claimed invention provides a service request processor in a local service activation management environment for management purposes. A core telecommunication system is interfaced for handling core telecommunication system requests and responses received from the core telecommunication system. The core telecommunication system requests generated by the core telecommunication system are validated. The core telecommunication system requests are processed if the processing can be done locally. If the request can not be done locally, it is translated to a predetermined protocol. Next, the request that is sent to a local service provider is and a response to the request is generated and received by the local service management environment. Error messages are generated by the core telecommunication system upon request validation or content validation failure. Status of the local service provider responses is provided and fault management is based on the status.
