    摘要: A multi-stage or process operation, such as the printing of a document from a data file in the form of a word processing document may be performed either by passing the document directly along a relatively fast network link to a printer 300, or by passing the document along a relatively slow link to a printer 200, where the document is ripped, and then passing the ripped data along a further relatively fast link to printer 300. To determine the optimum course of action in view of a policy demanding speed of printing the probable speed of each course of action is determined, and the course of action most likely to yield a result in conformity with the policy is selected.

    摘要: Apparatus for producing an electronic model of a communications network or system having at least one host and a plurality of nodes connected thereto, directly or otherwise, the apparatus comprising means for obtaining data relating to at least some of the nodes and/or the host and means for creating an electronic model of the system or network using the data. The apparatus comprises a trusted computer host for use in analysing the network. The trusted computer host comprises means for detecting nodes on the network. As nodes are detected, sampling probes are inserted at each such node wherever possible. The probes take measurements at the respective nodes and return the resultant data to the trusted computer host. For a case where it is not possible to insert a probe at a detected node, the trusted computer host comprises means for performing traffic analysis and obtaining a profile of behavior between that node and the network host. The data received from the probes and the traffic analysis data is used by model simulation means in the trusted computer host to create a model of the network.

    摘要: Upon downloading of a home page for example, which contains two or more links to other pages (either within the same site, or part of a different site), the links to those pages are pre-emptively actuated, i.e. before manual actuation by a user. Consequential download of these pages may be either performed simultaneously but at different speeds, thereby reflecting pre-determined weightings for each of the pages, or one after the other, with the order reflecting the weightings.

    摘要: Print jobs requested are scheduled to be performed during available time slots, and on suitable printers having lowest associated overhead cost. In the event that no technically suitable printer is available a print services management programme determines whether it is economically viable to cancel one or more pre-scheduled print jobs in favour of the requested job, taking into account, for example, the price of the requested job and scheduled jobs. In a development a bidding routine establishes at what price it is viable to cancel a scheduled job in favour of a requested job, and that price is then offered to a customer. Future work inflow is predicted and represented in the form of virtual jobs which are scheduled in the same manner as actual jobs, but whose value is representative of the likelihood of the job maturing into an actual job. In a further development, demand on printer hardware arising from the scheduling of virtual jobs is used to monitor predicted future hardware requirements, and when virtual demand exceeds a threshold, an order is placed for procurement of further hardware.

    摘要: A computer network has plural computer systems, plural printers and a server. Each computer system has an application program for generating print data for the printers. The server has a workflow management program which (1) monitors and controls the flow of jobs computer systems send the printer and (2) a computer model representing the current system state. In response to a network event occurring, e.g., a hardware failure or a new print job, the program makes plural computer model copies and makes each copy perform an alternative event management operation. The program generates a set of prediction data from each computer model copy. Each set of prediction data represents a predicted future network state in response to each event management operation. A preferred event management operation is selected by comparing each generated set of prediction data with a reference set of prediction data.

    摘要: A computer network comprises plural computer systems connected to plural printers. Each computer system comprises at least one application program for generating print data for one or more of the printers. One of the computer systems is partially employed as a stock control computer. An application program stored on the stock control computer runs a model of the overall system, including maintaining an up-to-date schedule of all print jobs on the system, and maintains a log of all media resources (i.e., paper) available to each printer. The application program ensures that the printers have suitable media resources and/or that print jobs are allocated to printers where appropriate media resources are available, if possible.

    摘要: A network connects plural computer systems to plural printers. A program of each computer system generates data supplied to at least one printer. A print spooler of each computer system stores the print data. Each printer comprises a daemon and local memory. A data control module monitors, via the network, data relating to a print job stored on a computer system and job timing information relating to preferred time for processing the print job. The daemon retrieves a copy of the data when the network becomes available to transfer the data, and stores the print data on the local memory. The retrieval and storage operations occur before the time specified in the job timing information. When the network traffic is low each printer locally stores data that are retrieved and stored prior to the time specified in the job timing information.
