摘要： The present invention describes a delivery method and system that enables deliveries to arrive at destination within the time period specified by the entity responsible for ordering the delivery. This invention provides an initial supplier of an item and also an alternate supplier of the item. The alternate supplier is preferably located in the proximity of the destination location. During the delivery process, the progress of the shipment is tracked and periodic determinations are made as to whether the shipment will be delivered at the predetermined time. If during the delivery process, there is a determination that the shipment will not reach the designated destination at the predetermined time, the alternate supplier will be contacted to supply to the item to be delivered to destination. Since, this alternate supplier is in close proximity to the destination location, this supplier should be able to deliver the order within the specified time period.

摘要： An addressing method and a system for assigning network addresses such that access to a network resource remains local. This is accomplished by allocating a local network address in favor of a remote network address. A process executing on a processor makes a request for a network address. A local network address is located in memory of the processor executing the process. The local network address is assigned, if available. Otherwise, a remote network address located in the memory of another processor is assigned. Preferably, the network address request contains information about on which processor the requesting process is running. Using this information, the present invention is able to select a network address that resides in the local memory of that processor. The network address allocation system of the present invention includes a network address allocator that uses the method of the present invention as outlined above.

摘要： A system, method and program of the invention enables bartering to be carried out over a network of computer systems. A specific bartering protocol language enables a specification of a needs list of needed items that a user desires to acquire and a specification of an availability list of available items that a user desires to use in trading for one or more of the needed items. Each needed item can be associated with a priority indicating a level of priority that a user has in acquiring the needed item. The needs list may also contain a range of near equivalent items having an associated priority indicating a user's desire to accept a given near equivalent item in lieu of a given needed item. The system performs a search of available items for a match with each of the needed items based upon the needed item's priority wherein the higher priority items are attempted to be matched before lower priority items are matched. The searching is performed first within a same bartering system and performed second across a different bartering system if no match is found during the search within the same bartering system.
