SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR TRACKING CHANGES IN DATA STRUCTURES USING NESTED SIGNATURES

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, apparatus, and methods for tracking changes in data structures. Embodiments include a system data structure including a master signature list object and a plurality of component data structures sufficient to define a system. The component data structures each include a signature list object and a plurality of value storage objects sufficient to define a component of the system. The value storage objects are operative to execute on a processor to store changed values. The signature list objects are operative to execute on a processor to store signatures associating a changed value stored within a corresponding component data structure and other current values also stored within the corresponding component data structure. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

1. A system for tracking changes in data structures, the system comprising:
a system data structure including a master signature list object and a plurality of component data structures sufficient to define a system, wherein each of the plurality of component data structures include a signature list object and a plurality of value storage objects sufficient to define a component of the system, wherein the value storage objects are operative to execute on a processor to store changed values, wherein the signature list objects are operative to execute on a processor to store signatures associating a changed value stored within a corresponding component data structure and other current values also stored within the corresponding component data structure.
