BINARY TREE WITH OVERRIDE NODES FOR REPRESENTING A TIME-VARYING FUNCTION IN AN ENTERPRISE MODEL

摘要

The invention relates to a method of using a form of binary tree data structure to represent a variable time variations, and to respond to requests for information on this variable. This tree is particularly useful for resolving requests for such information 'search', such as 'what is the what is the first / last moment from which there has units?'. The binary tree is composed of nodes that store the delta delta values, that is to say, changes to the value of the variable. A delta value can be a value 'bypass' representing a predetermined change in the value of the function, such as a capacitance value of a resource replenished periodically.
