Abstract:

A system and method for updating, monitoring, and controlling applications on a workstation. The workstation includes a workstation management module configured to detect the launch or request to access a network by an application. A workstation application server receives data associated with the application from the workstation. The application server module can determine one or more policies or categories to associate with the application by referencing an application inventory database. Once the application server module has the category or policy, it forwards a hash/policy table to the workstation management module. Upon receipt of the hash/policy table, the workstation management module applies the policy that is associated with the application to control network access by the application.

Abstract:

A system and method for updating a system that controls applications requested for execution on a workstation. A workstation management module is configured to detect requested execution of an application. A workstation application server receives data associated with the application from the workstation. The application server module can determine one or more categories to associate with the application by referencing an application inventory database or requesting the category from an application database factory. The application database factory can receive applications from multiple application server modules. The application database factory determines whether the application was previously categorized and provides the category to the application server module; which forwards a hash/policy table to the workstation management module. Upon receipt of the hash/policy table, the workstation management module applies the policy to control access to the requested application on the workstation.

US Classification:

726 24, 726 22, 726 25

Abstract:

A system and method for updating a system that controls files executed on a workstation. The workstation includes a workstation management module configured to detect the launch of an application. A workstation application server receives data associated with the application from the workstation. This data can include a hash value. The application server module can determine one or more categories to associate with the application by referencing an application inventory database or requesting the category from an application database factory. The application database factory can receive applications from multiple application server modules. The application database factory determines whether the application was previously categorized by the application database factory and provides the category to the application server module. Once the application server module has the category, it forwards a hash/policy table to the workstation management module. Upon receipt of the hash/policy table, the workstation management module applies the policy that is associated with the launched application to control access to the application on the workstation.

Abstract:

In various embodiments, the present invention relates disparate objects based on user behavior, thus enabling search engines to provide more comprehensive and accurate results. According to various embodiments of the present invention, multiple kinds of interactions by users with multiple classes of objects can be analyzed. The result is that disparate classes of objects can be related. Derived relations between text and objects can be used to implement search-like functionality or to extend a conventional text retrieval system.In one embodiment, the present invention is used to improve search results and/or recommendations by employing a filtered co-occurrence matrix that provides a representation as to which queries tend to co-occur with the originally submitted query. By supplementing or replacing the original query with co-occurring queries, the system of the present invention is able to generate results that are more likely to be of interest.
