Abstract: Described herein are, among other things, systems and methods for synchronizing cookies across different domains, and leveraging such systems and methods for content delivery. For example, two parties hosting content under different domain names from one another may desire to synchronize identification or ‘ID’ cookies that hold identifiers for a given client and/or end-user, so that one or both of the parties can map a given identifier from one domain to the identifier used in the other domain. Without limitation, some techniques described herein leverage one or more proxy servers that may be part of a distributed computing platform known as a content delivery network. Further, by way of example, some of the techniques for cookie synchronization can be leveraged to accelerate the delivery of content on a website with content from multiple domains.

Abstract: A method and system of load balancing application server resources operating in a distributed set of servers is described. In a representative embodiment, the set of servers comprise a region of a content delivery network. Each server in the set typically includes a server manager process, and an application server on which edge-enabled applications or application components are executed. As service requests are directed to servers in the region, the application servers manage the requests in a load-balanced manner, and without any requirement that a particular application server spawned on-demand.

Abstract: A method, system, computer program product, and data structure for processing requests for services in a networked data processing system is provided. In one embodiment a request is received by a service provider. The request includes defined allowable actions and request definition compositions. The request also includes a plurality of actions wherein the relationships between the plurality of actions are defined. The service provider processes the plurality of actions according to the defined relationships and generates a response.

Abstract: A method for fault tolerance in concurrently executing computer programs is presented. The present invention controls the re-execution of concurrent programs in order to avoid a recurrence of synchronization failure. The invention (i) traces an execution, (ii) detects a synchronization failure, (iii) determines a control strategy, and (iv) re-executes under control. Control is achieved by tracing information during an execution and using this information to add synchronizations during the re-execution.
