Abstract: At a data center controller, a first server location is determined from a set of available server locations at which to change a server active state for a data center. A time and configuration change for the data center are forecasted. A second server location is determined from the set of available server locations at which to change the server active state based upon the forecasted configuration change for the data center. An available server location is selected at which to change the server active state based upon the first server location, the second server location, and the forecasted time associated with the forecasted configuration change for the data center.

Abstract: The invention provides a solution for transforming a flow graph model to a structured flow language model. In particular, the nodes in the flow graph model are traversed, and each node is mapped to an activity in the structured flow language model. When a node comprises a branch point, the corresponding branch region is identified and mapped. This process is repeated until all nodes in the flow graph model have been mapped to corresponding activities in the structured flow language model. In this manner, the desired nesting and containment relationships can be identified and generated in the structured flow language model.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to controlling access to an area or enclosed location, wherein any person in possession of a specified RFID badge or other RFID device is defined to be a person who is authorized to be in the area or location. One embodiment, directed to a method, includes the step of detecting the presence of a particular person in the area, who is not in possession of a specified RFID device. In response to detecting the presence of the particular person, a search is initiated to determine whether any authorized person is present in the area. Upon sensing the presence of one or more authorized persons in the area, the method further determines whether any of the sensed authorized persons is accompanying the particular person. In response to determining that no authorized person is accompanying the particular person, prespecified corrective action is initiated with respect to the particular person.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed for a programming method and system of implementing parameterization of data types and/or categories to convert an example “instance” of using a software application into an actual product of program use by customizing the example to make it suitable for user needs. A parameter modeling component along with a parameterization component and an instantiation component are used to create parameterized example instances (“p-instances”) and tooling instructions are then invoked to customize a “p-instance” into a real instance reflecting creation of a document or file or other program artifact (i.e., data product) resulting from actual use of the software application.

Abstract: An implementation verification policy for each of a set of change management tasks associated with one of a set of service requests within an information technology (IT) environment is created via a configuration management device. Each of the set of change management tasks is automatically implemented. An error associated with the automated implementation of one of the set of change management tasks is detected based on the implementation verification policy created for one of the set of change management tasks. The error is automatically correlated with a service request that caused the error.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for performing files/folder share between IM clients. In the present invention, when a source client shares out files/folders to a particular contact person/contact person group, an access control list table is established and said particular contact person/contact person group and the files/folders shared out to him are stored in association with each other. When a target client makes a request for accessing information of share items, obtaining items and beginning to receive items, the source client will respectively consult the access control list table to determine whether the request is authorized. Only when the request is authorized, can the source client perform the requesting operations. By means of the present invention, an automatic and flexible file/folder share between IM clients can be achieved.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus, system and method for allowing multiple television (TV) sets to communicate with each other in synchronizing their audiovisual signal output (when set to the same TV channel) to allow simultaneous viewing of common programming content.

Abstract: An algorithm facilitates optimization functionality for generating optimized response information. In facilitating such optimization, non-essential elements of the response information (i.e., unneeded for system interpretation) are eliminated thereby reducing the size of the response information and generating optimized response information as well as reducing the memory footprint of cache required for storing such optimized response information. Examples of such non-essential elements of response information include, but are not limited to, indention characters, tab characters, blank space characters and the like. Such optimization functionality is tailored to optimizing the size of response information being transmitted from a server. More specifically, it provides for reduction in bandwidth occupied by outgoing response information from a transmitting a server.

A set of unique identifiers, including the expiration, are added to the cookie value and a cookie name to form a cookie. A response to the request is sent to an intermediate server. The response includes data responsive to the request and the cookie. The validity of the data for the response is related to the expiration.

Abstract: The invention discloses a programming method and system for dynamic client/server network management using proxy servers, by allowing each active proxy server in an arrayed cluster to maintain an updated list of all other operating proxy servers in the cluster. When a client message requesting access to an application server is received by a clustered proxy server, the message may be forwarded to another proxy server (within the cluster) so that message (re)transmissions can pass through the same proxy server as the original message, allowing a proxy server to make consistent routing decisions (and other decisions) pertaining to that message.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for “partitioning” a “namespace” managed by a name (or “directory”) registration server according to “security label” or other security attributes to allow the same registered (e.g., “domain”) name to be used for processing resource(s)/service(s)/application(s) operating under different security labels.

Abstract: A plurality of heap dump requests associated with an operating virtual machine (VM) program is received from a VM profiler interface module at a heap dump request processing module. In response to receipt of each heap dump request at the heap dump request processing module, a dynamic modifiable library identified within a dynamic modifiable configuration file is loaded into a memory, where the dynamic modifiable library comprises instructions associated with processing a current heap dump request. The instructions associated with processing the current heap dump request are executed. The dynamic modifiable library is unloaded from the memory. A plurality of heap dump files and a plurality of object movement event files generated by execution of the instructions are analyzed. A memory leak associated with the operating VM program is automatically identified based upon the analyzed plurality of heap dump files and the plurality of object movement event files.

Abstract: Data for a first time period in a primary data sequence is compared with data for a second time period in each of a set of secondary data sequences. The durations of the first and second time periods are correlated, and the first time period is different from the second time period. A ranking is assigned to each secondary data sequence based on the corresponding data for the second time period. The ranking for each of the set of secondary data sequences is written to a computer useable medium. The primary data sequence and the set of secondary data sequences are adjusted based on a request to change the primary data sequence to one of the set of secondary data sequences. The comparing, assigning, and writing are repeated for the adjusted primary data sequence and set of secondary data sequences.
