Abstract: A device receives and stores location data and cargo transportation data. The cargo transportation data is received from a first system of a carrier and one or more other systems of partner carriers. The device receives, from the first system, a transportation availability request that is to be used to schedule transportation of cargo. The device generates and provides the first system with a recommendation that specifies recommended routes that may be used to assist in transporting the cargo. The device receives, from the first system, a booking request that identifies a selected route that vehicles are to use to transport the cargo, and provides the booking request to one or more other systems. The device receives a booking response from a second system of a partner carrier and provides the first system with an indication of whether the partner carrier has provided confirmation of assistance in transporting the cargo.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an efficient and scalable scheme for role-based access control to resources. The resources are assigned a protection class. Resources in the same protection class share the same access control policy. Permissions granted to various roles are then defined based on privilege sets and protection classes. Accordingly, the permissions of a role can be dynamically determined at runtime. Furthermore, as new resources are added, they can be assigned to a pre-existing protection class. The new resource may thus automatically inherit the various permissions and roles attached to the protection class.

Abstract: A method and system employing an object-oriented approach to remotely controlling storage management services in a content management system. An Application Programming Interface (API) is used to communicate between a system administrator client and a resource manager, so that a system administrator can, e.g., start and stop services, check the status of services, etc. The API and resource manager exchange information, for example by exchanging XML documents by HTTP posting.

Abstract: Systems for updating an access control list (ACL) associated with one or more resources in a data processing system are provided. The system provides a table including a list of one or more first ACLs that map to a corresponding one or more previously computed second ACLs. The system also updates a current ACL associated with a first resource of the one or more resources in the data processing system including determining whether one of the one or more first ACLs in the table matches the current ACL associated with the first resource. If one of the one or more first ACLs in the table matches the current ACL associated with the first resource then updating the current ACL associated with the first resource by associating the corresponding second ACL with the first resource.
