The apparatus and method disclosed herein is a new e-commerce business model and its possible embodiments. By grouping merchandise and users, the invention provides new interfaces between multiple merchandises/service, multiple askers and multiple bidders. Certain merchandises/services will be identified and grouped with a Merchandise Group ID (MGID). Each MGID represents a group of merchandise/service with some common properties. MGID works like the stock tickers, which represents all products from the same category. It then enables users (bidders/askers/shipping carriers), who are also grouped by their User Group ID (UGID), to put bid/ask/cAsk offers on the above said merchandise or the shipping services. With MGIDs, the merchandise and service would then be identified and traded like stocks. With UGID that categorize users into user groups and then matching UGID, one group of users can find the counterparty user group they would like to deal with much easier. It reshapes the business operation chain of current e-commerce. It combines all elements (merchandise/services/users) of the chain with same/similar/equivalent properties into corresponding groups and assigns these groups with identifier—the groupID. Grouped users are identified by User Group ID (UGID). They can select their desired counterparties through the counterparties' UGID. Matched parties (buyer/sellers/carriers) can then trade grouped merchandise/services by using the merchandise/service's Group ID (MGID) like trading stock tickers. This invention changes the current “Instance Trading”, which only deals with each single pieces of merchandise instance, into “Group Trading”, which is based on categorized merchandise groups and categorized user groups. It provides communication and interaction between these user groups and merchandise groups. MGID, BGID, AGID and CGID work together to divide all bid/ask/cAsk offers into subgroups. It then peer matches the offers within each subgroup of records to find out the final matched orders for that subgroup. This new business model will also provide a much broader stage for shipping service carriers and manufactures. Every component of the business chain has been offered an adequate position and weight to make the market operate more efficient, transparent and fair. The new trading platform will also help to enhance payment performances and security by reducing payment fraud.

A software application development system and method of developing and running software is disclosed that allows multiple developers to access, develop and run a common software application simultaneously; even while others are running and using the same software application. In a first aspect of the invention, a software development environment includes combined run mode and design mode functions and code which allow a user to seamlessly toggle between run mode and design mode without compiling or otherwise converting the software application. This is accomplished through the use of common properties tables in both the run mode and the design mode for the application. In a second aspect of the invention, multiple clients of a software application server are each able to develop, run, and otherwise interact with a software application at the same time from different computers so that each modification by each client is reflected immediately in the software application running on each other client. Thus, multiple users can use and develop the same software simultaneously through update notices between the clients and the server. This aspect of the invention allows a software application to be developed and tested by multiple users through a network while a customer is running and commenting on the application from a remote location. Several specific uses for embodiments of the invention are also described.

A method of identifying a relationship between a set of one or more candidate biomolecules and a set of one or more reference biomolecules, the method including inputting to a computer a query set describing the one or more candidate biomolecules; comparing the query set with a target database describing the one or more reference biomolecules wherein the one or more reference biomolecules grouped into one or more buckets and wherein the one or more reference biomolecules of each bucket share a common property; counting a number of matches between each query set and each buckets of the target database; and statistically analyzing the number of matches to each bucket wherein the presence of a statistically significant match identifies a relationship between a the query set and a bucket of the target database.

According to embodiments of the present invention, a user's local storage system may be used to create a virtual personal mall comprising one or more virtual personal stores and configured for purchasing products by one or several providers. The virtual personal store and/or virtual personal mall may be organized in virtual shelves. Each virtual shelf may contain a group of products with one or more common properties, for example, books by a certain author and/or published by a certain publisher, and/or supplied by the same virtual personal store provider, etc. The groups may be defined by the virtual personal store provider and/or by the user and/or by a group of users.

An information integration system may include a set of integration services embodied on one or more server machines in a computing environment. The set of integration services may include connectors communicatively connected to disparate information systems. The connectors are configured for integrating data utilizing a common model comprising a content management interoperability services data model, common property definitions, and a common security model particularly defined for use by the set of integration services. Responsive to a user query to search disparate information systems or a subset thereof, an application may communicate metadata of interest contained in the user query to a search engine which locates, via a unified index, requested data from the disparate information systems or a subset thereof. The search engine returns search results referencing the requested data to the application which interprets the search results and displays a visualization thereof on a client device.

A user-centric management application system and method for a security system that conceptualizes the security devices and the tasks to perform on the security devices as separate objects with common properties and behavior. Operators of the system create abstract containers, called dockviews, which the operator adds objects to in order to perform specific tasks. Because the operator assigns user access to dockviews and objects, the system tailors system access for both application users and tenants of the security system based on policy objectives. Dockviews have the ability to open in separate application windows to support priority display and isolation of critical management tasks. The system provides integrated user administration, event management and reports capability, a consistent “look and feel,” and system-wide automated event notification via a watchlist window.
