Abstract: A system and method for managing sensor data associated with an Internet-of-Things (IoT) environment is disclosed herein. The method includes receiving, by a processing unit, sensor data from at least one sensing unit in the IoT environment. The sensor data includes at least one sensor reading and a reading timestamp associated with the sensor reading. The method further includes determining whether a conflict exists based on the reading timestamp, wherein the conflict is associated with the sensor data overwriting an existing record in a database. The database is configured for storing the sensor data associated with the at least one sensing unit in time-series format. If the conflict exists, the method further includes merging the sensor data to the record based on an ingestion timestamp associated with the sensor data. Otherwise, a new record is created.

Abstract: Displaying contact-related information is disclosed. An association between a contact address not specific to a source of contact-related information and an identity of an entity at the source of contact-related information may be determined. Information representing the association between the contact address and the identity of the entity at the source of contact-related information is stored. The information representing the association is stored at a node associated with a service configured to use the information representing the association to retrieve from the source of contact-related information a response data associated with the entity in response to an expression of interest in a contact with which the contact address is associated.

Abstract: A method for provisioning servers in a computer arrangement allows more than one administrator to utilize the servers and prevents the servers from being influenced by more than one administrator at the same time. The computer arrangement includes at least one server, at least one administrator operable to control the usage of the servers by making provisioning decisions, and a deployment server operable to provision the servers according to the provisioning decisions of the administrators. An administrator is required to exclusively reserve the server before the administration unit can use the server. This prevents the server from being used by two or more interfering administrators, meanwhile allowing a flexible assignment between servers and administrators.

Abstract: A computer arrangement for providing services to clients over a network includes: at least two servers, each server hosting at least one application, an automated administrator configured to automatically provision the servers to provide the services, and at least one network load balancer connected to the clients and the servers. The network load balancer is responsible for at least one of the services and is configured to gather state information on the state of the servers and/or the applications hosted on the servers and is operable to route incoming requests of clients to at least one of the servers. The network load balancer provides the automated administrator with the state information. The automated administrator provides the network load balancer with provisioning information regarding which servers are provisioned to provide the at least one service for which the network load balancer is responsible.

Abstract: Data is output from a sending unit to a receiving unit via a common description language. The sending unit defines a user interface to be output to a number of receiving units, whereby each receiving unit may have different output capabilities, specific to the receiving unit.
