When individual persons or vehicles move through a transportation network, they are likely to be both actively and passively creating information that reflects their location and current behavior. In this patent, we propose a system that makes complete use of this information. First, through a broad web of sensors, our system collects and stores the full range of information generated by travelers. Next, through the use of previously-stored data and active computational analysis, our system deduces the identity of individual travelers. Finally, using advanced data-mining technology, our system selects useful information and transmits it back to the individual, as well as to third-party users; in short, it forms the backbone for a variety of useful location-related end-user applications.

A method of and a system for processing an enterprise application request on an end user application and an application server. This is accomplished by initiating the application request on the end user application in a first language (such as a markup language) with a first application program (such as a Web browser), and transmitting the application request to the server and converting the application from the first language of the first end user application to a language running on the application server, processing the application request on the application server, and transmitting the response from the application server back to the end user application, and converting the response from the language running on the application server to the language of the end user application. The end user application and the application server have at least one connector between them, and the steps of (i) converting the application request from the language of the end user application (as a source language) to the language running on the application server (as a target language), and (ii) converting the response to the application request from the language running on the application server (as a source language) to the language of the end user application (as a target language), each include the steps of invoking connector metamodels of the respective source and target languages, populating the connector metamodels with metamodel data of each of the respective source and target languages, and converting the source language to the target language.

A system and method for self-organizing, reliable, multiple path data flow transmission of messages data on a network uses queues to transmit messages between end-user modules (EUMs) on nodes on the network. The EUMs include the end user applications with which queues are associated. A network communications manager (NCM) resident on every node manages all transmission of messages between nodes. The NCM on a given node only has knowledge of nodes that are neighbor nodes to that given node, but has knowledge of all queues associated with all EUMs. Messages are divided into EUM messages, which are placed in queues by the NCM on each node, and system messages, which are not placed in queues but are used by the NCM to determine when and where, i.e. to which neighbor node, messages may be sent. The NCM on each node chooses a neighbor node as a target node for sending EUM messages for each queue, based on the best node latency and at capacity status of each neighbor node. These target nodes are used to provide potential routes to queues and multiple path data flow for queues that carry EUM data messages for user applications. These target nodes are constantly updated to provide the best paths on an adaptive basis and to ensure that all paths are valid, improving network reliability. When choosing when to send data to a target node, each node uses tokens for flow control to ensure that target nodes do not become overloaded. The node also compares node latencies for multiple target nodes to ensure that the lowest node latency target node is chosen. By using neighbor nodes as target nodes, node latency, and at capacity information for determining when and where to send data, there is no need to maintain any global knowledge of all paths in the network. Further, the constant updating of target nodes ensures that the network maintains optimal and valid paths for messages, thus ensuring efficiency and reliability. Finally, the constant updating of target nodes ensures that reliability and efficiency are provided on an adaptive, self-organizing basis.
