Abstract: The invention is used to balance and control traffic within a single internet site or between multiple sites. A static or dynamic analysis of site usage is performed. When an under-visited portion of a site is identified, then a link or message is created on a more-visited portion of the web-site to motivate the user visiting the site to explore the under-visited portion. The portion can be a specific page of the web site, or an entire section.

Abstract: A method of automated distributed resource monitoring in a large distributed computing environment, wherein a given master resource comprises a set of given computing resources. The method begins by associating a set of one or more “cells” with a set of given computing resources that comprise the master resource. Each cell preferably is associated with a respective one of the set of given computing resources and has a set of one or more attributes whose values collectively define a “state” of the cell. Whenever a change in an attribute of a given cell effects a change in that cell's state, the attribute change is propagated across each cell directly impacted by the cell state change, as well as to those observing cells that may be indirectly affected.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a process in a computer for selectively just in time compiling a method. Compiling options for the method are presented on an output device. User input is received, changing the compiling options for the method. The method to just in time compile is monitored for a call. A determination is made as to whether the method should be compiled using the compiling options, responsive to detecting the call to just in time compile the method. The method is sent to a just in time compiler, responsive to a determination that the method is to be compiled.
