International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

US Classification:

705 713

Abstract:

A system and method for calculating task times for a project. A project estimating system is disclosed that allocates time to a list of tasks, comprising: a system for determining a total project time to complete a project; and a time allocation system that generates a task time for each task based on the total project time and an estimating factor associated with each task, wherein the time allocation system includes an iterative algorithm that iteratively calculates an adjustment factor to be applied to each task. Finally, the calculated adjustment factor can be compared against preset levels and provide an indication of project risk and the likelihood that the project will complete on time.

Abstract:

A system and method for assigning human resources to tasks in a project plan. The system comprises: a database of people, wherein each person in the database includes an associated set of role capabilities; a plan analysis system that analyzes the project plan and determines all of the roles required for the project plan; a matching system which, for each role, identifies a subset of people from the database who are capable of fulfilling the role; a selection system which, for each role, selects at least one person from the identified subset of people to fulfill the role; and an allocation system that assigns people to a list of tasks for the project plan, wherein each task specifies at least one role, and each role specifies the at least one person selected to fulfill the role.

Abstract:

A system and method for addressing denial of service attacks directed at a web resource. The method comprises the steps of: receiving messages at the web resource; analyzing each message and determining if the message is improper; storing the source address of a message if the message is improper; responding to a first improper message from an identified source address with an HTTP error response; responding to a few subsequent improper messages from the identified source address with HTTP “OK” response codes; and finally stopping all responses to the identified source address.

Inventors:

Bruce Wallman - Princeton NJ, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

726024000

Abstract:

A system for providing anti-virus protection to a web server. A web server is disclosed, comprising: an active element filter for stripping an active element from a web page being stored at the web server such that the active element is not stored at the web server; and an active element insertion system for inserting a new active element into the web page when the web page is requested from the web server, wherein the new active element performs a similar action to that of the active element that was stripped by the active element filter.
