Abstract: A system and method for managing cacheable sets of objects having explicit lifetime specifications, wherein a time-based cache manager maintains and updates one or more sets of objects stored in the cache. A cached set of objects comprises objects havin g start times and/or end times representing, respectively, times at which such objects become val id and expire. An update time is determined for a given cached set of objects based, in part, on the start times and end times of objects comprising the cached set of objects. When a request fo r the retrieval of an object from the given cached set of objects (or the entire cached set) is received, a determination is made if the cached set of objects is valid at the time of the request bas ed on the update time. If the cached set of objects is not valid because, e.g., the update time has elapsed, the cached set of objects is updated (and any other cached sets, if necessary) by deleting and/or adding objects to the cached set of objects having start times and end times that meet predefined time criteria for inclusion in the cached set of objects.

Abstract: A technique is provided for managing ( 1210 ) externalizable inference components. The technique allows for dynamic construction of inferences from separate components, and externalization of data for controlling dynamic constructable inferences. One key benefit realized is the capability to mix and match various externalized inference components to form new inferences; or stated in a different way, the ability to deduce new knowledge by combining (reusing) and exercising various components in new ways. Provisions are made for pluggable inference components that can be combined in many distinct ways to fit the needs of different applications. This allows inference components to be developed independently and to be highly portable.
