Abstract: A sending device transmits a message to a receiving device. After receiving the message, the receiving device transmits a delivery confirmation to a third party notification service. The delivery confirmation includes an ID corresponding to the receiving device, an ID corresponding to the sending device, the time of transmission, the time of reception, the format of the message and/or a message ID. This delivery confirmation is subsequently stored by the notification service. The sending device then sends a delivery inquiry to the notification service. The delivery inquiry includes information that allows the notification service to identify a stored delivery confirmation. If a message corresponding to the delivery inquiry is identified, the notification service responds to the sending device affirming that the message was successfully delivered. The notification service may also respond with multiple delivery confirmations that meet the criteria of the delivery inquiry.

Abstract: For remote direct memory access (RDMA) by a client to a data record stored in a cache on a server, a hash map is received by a client from a server. The hash map includes one or more entries associated with a key for the data record stored in the cache on the server that stores a server-side remote pointer referencing the data record stored in the cache on the server. The client, using the key, looks up the server-side remote pointer for the data record from the hash map, and then performs one or more RDMA operations using the server-side remote pointer that allow the client to directly access the data record stored in the cache on the server.

Abstract: A system for collaborative decision-making and more efficient disaster management, in which multiple geobrowsers can communicate over local networks and/or the Internet to create a real collaborative experience when dealing with geospatial information, distributed using Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant KML/KMZ formats, WMS (Web Mapping Service), or and geospatial data files. All manipulation functions (dataset loading, layer stacking, layer visibility changes, Point of View (POV) changes, map extent changes, looping and animation settings, geospatial file creation and annotation drawing, and other functions) are replicated across all connected geobrowsers to create a true collaborative geospatial Common Operating Picture (COP). The leadership role can be handed over to other users if desired to build upon all the datasets and annotations sent by previous leads.

Abstract: There is described a method and a system allowing the use of at least one resource of a first automation system in at least one second automation system, whereby the resource is made available by the first automation system and an identification characteristic is used for the unique identification of the resource in the at least second automation system. A user is enabled to navigate in a simple manner between the application locations of originator and user of a resource. This is achieved by the fact that the use of the resource of the first automation system in the at least second automation system is mapped as a bilateral reference in each case between the automation systems and is stored in each case in a storage area in the automation systems, whereby the bilateral reference also contains application locations of the resource in the respective automation system.

Abstract: A system and method for the late-biding of time-based media in real-time With late binding, the sender may create time-based media before or at the same time an active delivery route to the recipient is discovered. As soon as the route becomes available, the media is transmitted. The existing DNS and email infrastructure is possibly used for route discovery, while any real-time transmission protocol may be used for the actual delivery of the media. “Progressive” emails may also be used for the real-time delivery of time-based media.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) comprising capturing metadata about the big data stored in clouds at an informational infrastructure layer.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an HVAC data processing and communication network and a method of manufacturing the same. In an embodiment, the method includes configuring a device to store a plurality of character strings. The device is further configured to associate a text ID with each of the character strings. The device is further configured to recall a predetermined character string in response to receiving a first message via the network including a predetermined text ID associated with the predetermined character string.

Abstract: The invention is a system and method of controlling an access of a subscriber to a network. The method includes sending an identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber from a visited network of a plurality of networks (12, 14, 16) connected to a home network (10); in response to the identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber, storing a subscriber profile of the authorized of access to be provided to the subscriber; and controlling access of the subscriber to any network dependent upon a comparison of access to be provided to the subscriber and the stored subscriber profile.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for enabling collaboration across tenants in a multi-tenant environment using single sign-on (SSO) authentication/authorization. Various examples provide for creating a user account and provisioning a subscription to a user (e.g., to enable single sign-on authentication/authorization). The user is allowed to access services (e.g., collaborative services) in a multi-tenant environment by utilizing a subscription authorization of the user without prompting the user to authenticate by logging-in again (that is, without prompting the user to log-in again after the user has already logged-in and been authenticated for a given session). Other examples provide for mapping webspaces through URL hosts where each organization (that is, tenant) has its own set of namespace(s).

Abstract: One or more first devices may receive, from a second device, program information as part of a request to provide a contextual message, associated with particular content corresponding to the program information, to a third device. The program information may identify a time, a geographic location, and a television channel identifier associated with the particular content. The one or more devices may cause the particular content to be identified based on a fingerprint of the particular content; receive the contextual message that was identified based on the fingerprint; provide the contextual message to the third device; and provide, for storage in a content schedule, information identifying the particular content, a time period during which the particular content is broadcasted, the geographic location, and the television channel identifier. The content schedule may be used to identify the particular content after the particular content has been initially identified based on the fingerprint.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for networking are provided. In this regard, one or more circuits and/or processors in a network adapter of a first network device may determine whether to communicate traffic between virtual machines running on the first network device via a path that resides solely within the first network device, or via a path that comprises a second network device that is external to the first network device. The determination may be based, at least in part, on characteristics of the traffic. The determination may be based, at least in part, on capabilities and/or available resources of the network adapter. The determination may be based, at least in part, on management information exchanged between the one or more circuits and/or processors and one or more of: software running on the first network device, the second network device, and a third network device.

Abstract: A server [115] or client-based content storage unit includes a communication device [300] to receive data corresponding to a transfer of at least one of media content and a link to the media content, from a first user [120] to a second user [125]. The communication device [300] also receives data corresponding to usage of the media content by the second user [125], and transmits some representation of a content capital to the first user [120]. A content usage aggregator [315] receives information corresponding to the usage of the media content by the second user [125]. A content usage evaluator [310] determines the content capital based on an aggregation of monitored use of the media content by the second user [125].
