Abstract: A parallel logging and recovery scheme for highly available main-memory database systems is presented. A preferred embodiment called parallel redo-only logging ("PROL") combines physical logging and selective replay of redo-only log records. During physical logging, log records are generated with an update sequence number representing the sequence of database update. The log records are replayed selectively during recovery based on the update sequence number. Since the order of replaying log records doesn't matter in physical logging, PROL makes parallel operations possible. Since the physical logging does not depend on the state of the object to which the log records are applied, the present invention also makes it easy to construct a log-based hot standby system.

Abstract: A managing computer system increases the level of automation when scheduling and managing meetings. A meeting scheduler determines that a meeting is to be scheduled and accesses information relevant to the availability of potential meeting attendants. Relevant information may include time availability of attendants and locations, priority levels associated with attendants, and whether or not specific attendants are required. Based on the relevant information, the meeting scheduler automatically determines at least one potential meeting that satisfies predetermined criteria. If the circumstances surrounding a currently-scheduled meeting change, information relevant to the currently-scheduled meeting is identified. Identified information may include changes in the status of meeting attendants, meeting locations, and documents associated with a meeting. The identified information may be automatically accessed and made available to at least one meeting attendant. Information may be made available by transferring electronic messages to computer systems associated with meeting attendants. <IMAGE>
