The invention provides a bounding box and space partitioning-based virtual object collision detection method. The method includes the following steps that: virtual object collision pre-detection is performed on two irregular virtual objects; region segmentation is performed on a region to be detected; intersection testing is performed in the sub regions segmented from the region to be detected; virtual object collision detection is performed by using a point vector set representing a moving virtual object and a triangular surface representing a virtual object which does not require assembly at present; and if the virtual objects intersect with each other, the virtual objects collide with each other, otherwise, the virtual objects do not collide with each other. According to the bounding box and space partitioning-based virtual object collision detection method of the invention, a collision detection range of a space is narrowed through using the spatial correlation of the virtual objects, so that time consumption can be reduced, and at the same time, the detection efficiency of the method and the geometric accuracy of collision detection are greatly improved; a bounding box is reduced into the triangular surface and the points, so that the misjudgment of the collision detection can be decreased; and a collision detection process is refined to the interference between the triangular surface and the points, and separate detection is carried out, and therefore, detection efficiency can be greatly improved.

An error detection and correction system extracts editing patterns and derives correction rules from them by observing differences between draft documents and corresponding edited documents, and / or by observing editing operations performed on the draft documents to produce the edited documents. The system develops classifiers that partition the space of all possible contexts into equivalence classes and assigns one or more correction rules to each such class). Once the system has been trained, it may be used to detect and (optionally) correct errors in new draft documents. When presented with a draft document, the system identifies first content (e.g., text) in the draft document and identifies a context of the first content. The system identifies a correction rule based on the first content and the first context. The system may use a classifier to identify the correction rule. The system applies the correction rule to the first content to produce second content.

The view may be provided in 3D to the user via a head-mounted display, and the selection instructions may include a physical orientation of the display.

A system and method for enabling highly scalable multi-node event distribution networks through the use of summary-based routing, particularly event distribution networks using a content-based publish / subscribe model to distribute information. By allowing event routers to use imprecise summaries of the subscriptions hosted by matcher nodes, an event router can eliminate itself as a bottleneck thus improving overall event distribution network throughput even though the use of imprecise summaries results in some false positive event traffic. False positive event traffic is reduced by using a filter set partitioning that provides for good subscription set locality at each matcher node, while at the same time avoiding overloading any one matcher node. Good subscription set locality is maintained by routing new subscriptions to a matcher node with a subscription summary that best covers the new subscription. Where event space partitioning is desirable, an over-partitioning scheme is described that enables load balancing without repartitioning.

A copying-type garbage collector operates in multiple concurrent threads. Each thread evacuates potentially reachable objects from the from space to the to space in a depth-first manner: if a thread has evacuated an object containing references to any from-space objects, it evacuates all of that object's descendants before it evacuates any other reachable objects. To keep track of descendants that must be evacuated before non-descendants can be, the thread places objects containing references to non-evacuated objects into a linked list maintained by pointers that it installs in the from-space locations from which the objects on the list were evacuated. Additionally, it divides the to space into local-allocation buffers (“LABs”) to which respective threads exclusively evacuate objects, and each thread maintains a LAB stack representing all the LABs it has filled that still contain references to unevacuated from-space objects. When a thread has completed evacuating the descendants of evacuees in all of its LABs, it “steals” work from other threads. It may do so, for instance, by processing a reference in an object belonging to another thread's list, by transferring to its own list one or more objects from another thread's list, or by transferring to its own LAB stack one or more LABs from another thread's LAB stack.

We disclose a transformation-based method for indexing high-dimensional data to support similarity search. The method, iDistance, partitions the data into clusters either based on some clustering strategies or simple data space partitioning strategies. The data in each cluster can be described based on their similarity with respect to a reference point, and hence they can be transformed into a single dimensional space based on such relative similarity. This allows us to index the data points using a B<+>-tree structure and perform similarity search using range search strategy. As such, the method is well suited for integration into existing DBMSs. We also study two data partitioning strategies, and several methods on selection of reference points. We conducted extensive experiments to evaluate iDistance, and our results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Software-Defined Networking (“SDN”) enables flexible flow control by caching policy rules at OpenFlow switches. Compared with exact-match rule caching, wildcard rule caching can better preserve the flow table space at switches. However, one of the challenges for wildcard rule caching is the dependency between rules, which is generated by caching wildcard rules overlapped in field space with different priorities. Failure to handle the rule dependency may lead to wrong matching decisions for newly arrived flows, or may introduce high storage overhead in flow table memory. A wildcard rule caching system, which may be used for SDN partitions the field space into logical structures called buckets, and caches buckets along with all the associated wildcard rules. Doing so resolves rule dependency while using control network bandwidth efficiently. Further, controller processing load and flow setup latency are reduced.

The method uses the classification rule set and heuristic information of the network traffic from two different levels of network packet classification, strengthens the adaptability of the classification method, and improves average classification efficiency. The method has quick lookup speed and strong adaptability, can be realized on a plurality of platforms, and is applicable to the filtration and monitoring of high-performance network traffic.
