Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for controlling an elevator group consisting of several elevators and related call devices. A control system for controlling the elevators controls each elevator in a manner determined by the calls entered and the existing control instructions. According to the invention, when the control system has to decide between two or more control alternatives, a systematic decision analysis is performed by studying the effects resulting from each alternative decision, said effects being estimated by simulating by a Monte-Carlo type method the future behaviour of the elevator system in the case of each alternative decision. To carry out the simulation, realizations are generated at random for the unknown quantities associated with the current state of the elevator system and for new external future events, and a control decision is made on the basis of the results of the decision analysis.

Abstract: A method of sending an electronic message from a source station through a network of switches and links to a destination station is disclosed. An electronic message is sequentially sent to each of a series of switches. Each switch reads a route signal in the message and sends the message to a switch or a station having an input port connected to an output port identified by the route signal. The route signals are generated by storing a weight for each switch link in the network. Candidate paths through the switch network starting at the source station and ending at initial candidate destinations are identified. Each initial candidate destination has an input port directly connected to an output port of a switch having an input port directly connected to the source station. If one or more candidate destinations are the destination station, a candidate path ending at the destination station is selected, and a series of route signals corresponding to the selected candidate path is generated. If no candidate destination is the destination station, extended candidate paths are formed. Each extended candidate path has a path weight comprising the weights of switch links along the candidate path. If one or more extended candidate destinations are the destination station, a candidate path ending at the destination station and having a path weight better than or equal to the path weight of each other candidate path ending at the destination station is selected. Otherwise, the candidate paths are again extended.

Abstract: Start, commit and abort of transactions in a computer system are managed by a task manager (102). When a certain transaction locks a certain resource, this information is registered in a lock manager (103). Accordingly, when a transaction requests for gaining a resource, the lock manager can determine that the resource is already locked, if any, by another transaction. In such a case, the transaction should wait for the termination of the other transaction, so that this information is registered in a wait-for-graph table (105). A deadlock detector (104) determines whether the deadlock is caused according to the registered information in the wait-for-graph table.

Abstract: Exchangeable LID modules are provided to enable the frame relay switching system to be interfaced to a specific data terminal, for example, synchronous, asynchronous terminals or T1 line, by performing on the receive side the physical translation of information on the input lines to clock signal CLK and HDLC framed data. On the transmit side, the HDLC framed data and clock signal CLK are translated into the data appropriate for a data terminal. The type of the translation is specific to the line to be interfaced with. To support a synchronous data terminal, a synchronous receiver is provided that extracts valid data patterns from a synchronous data stream. The data patterns are replaced with the data stream of appropriate levels when data are transmitted. When data are received from a T1 line, the LID splits the received data stream into user data and signalling data. The signalling data are buffered to form a signalling frame sent to a signalling frame relay packet management device (FRYPAM) separate from a user data FRYPAM that receives user data frames. To support an asynchronous data terminal, a microprocessor is provided to handle PAD and LAPB operations for transforming asynchronous data into X.25 format.
