Abstract: A message monitoring system includes a first electronic control unit and a second electronic control unit connected to the first electronic control unit via a communication network. In the first electronic control unit, a first message is generated; a first feature value representing a feature of the first message is calculated; a second message storing the first feature value is generated; and the first message is transmitted whereas the second message is transmitted periodically. In the second electronic control unit, the first message and the second message are received from the first electronic control unit; a second feature value representing a feature of the received first message is calculated; and a comparison is performed between (i) the first feature value stored in the received second message and (ii) the calculated second feature value; and whether the first message is normal is determined based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a method for distributing a service through server-based restricted access storage includes executing, by a service provider, a service deployment of the service to a client in a cloud environment that operates client software in addition to the service deployment, the cloud environment provided by the client, the service deployment provided by the service provider and separate from the client software executing in the cloud environment. The method also includes receiving, by the service provider, privileges from the client to allow the service provider to access and operate the service in the cloud environment, the privileges providing access to the cloud environment separate from the client software executing in the cloud environment. The method also includes configuring the service deployment to monitor the client software, wherein the service deployment is partially isolated from other portions of the cloud environment.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing an asynchronous transport channel for OData data using web sockets. One example method includes upgrading a HTTP connection to a web socket connection in response to an upgrade request. The web socket connection is maintained, after the upgrading, for receipt of subsequent web socket requests. An OData request is received, from a consuming application, over the web socket connection. The OData request is translated to a format used by an OData runtime environment and sent to the OData runtime environment. A response to the OData request is received from the OData runtime environment. The response is incorporated into a web socket message. The web socket message is sent to the consuming application, over the web socket connection, in response to the OData request, with the web socket connection remaining open after the web socket message is sent.

Abstract: Central processing units (CPUs) are configured to support host access instruction(s) that are associated with accessing solid state storage. A resource management module, implemented independently of the CPUs, receives a resource allocation request that includes a usage type identifier and requested amount of a resource, where the usage type identifier is associated with a group identifier. Adjustable resource configuration information is accessed to obtain: (1) a maximum associated with the usage type identifier, (2) a minimum associated with the usage type identifier, and (3) a group limit associated with the group identifier. Resource state information is accessed and it is determine whether to grant the request based at least in part on the maximum, minimum, group limit, and resource state information. The resource allocation request is then granted or denied based on the determination.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for receiving media data. One apparatus includes processing circuitry that receives a media presentation description (MPD) file that includes an essential property descriptor indicating a session-based description (SBD) file. The essential property descriptor includes an attribute that indicates a class for a uniform resource locator (URL) request used for requesting a resource. The class identifies a type of the requested resource. The processing circuitry generates the URL request based on the SBD file and the class indicated in the attribute included in the essential property descriptor. The processing circuitry sends the URL request to a server to request the resource of which the type is identified based on the class of the URL request.

Abstract: A device identification method where a device application usage profile is generated and maintained for each one or more known computing devices of a local network based on network traffic data. In response to detecting an unknown computing device in the local network, network traffic data related to the unknown computing device is collected, and a device application usage profile for the unknown computing device is generated based on the network traffic data related to the unknown computing device. The device application usage profile of the unknown computing device is compared with the device application usage profile of the one or more known computing devices of the local network.

Abstract: Techniques for synthetic data generation in computer-based reasoning systems are discussed and include receiving a request for generation of synthetic data based on a set of training data cases. One or more focal training data cases are determined. For undetermined features (either all of them or those that are not subject to conditions), a value for the feature is determined based on the focal cases. In some embodiments, the generated synthetic data may be checked for similarity against the original data, and if similarity conditions are met, it may be modified (e.g., resampled), removed, and/or replaced.

The platform-as-a-service infrastructure and application lifecycle manager may also manage a lifecycle of available services, such as managing upgrades and/or patches to services.

Abstract: Virtual networks may be launched in a provider network with an initial IP address space (e.g., an IPv4 CIDR block). Methods are described that allow additional IP address spaces to be added to a virtual network. A new IP address space for a virtual network may be specified via an API. The specified space may be checked to insure that it does not overlap with IP spaces that are associated with the virtual network. If there are no overlaps, the space is added to the network, for example by adding the space to the network's route tables.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses that are configured to receive an indication that a web browsing session executing on an enterprise server needs additional information based on a request for additional information being sent to a client device. The request may include an identifier of the web browsing session and an identifier of an enterprise server that initiated the web browsing session. A globally unique identifier related to the web browsing session and an identifier of the enterprise server is stored in a common data store. The web browsing session may be paused when the web browsing session requests additional information from a client device. The client device may respond with the additional information. The system may provide the identifier of the enterprise server to a load balancing component so the identified web browsing session executing on the enterprise server may continue to be used.
