Abstract: An example framework and method facilitate instrumentation and management of computing environment resources, wherein the resources are distributed across various servers of the computing environment. The example framework employs a distributed synchronized tree or registry of information describing servers (e.g., MBean servers) and associated resources (e.g., as may be represented by MBeans) of the computing environment. A replica of the tree is maintained by each server. The tree facilitates peer-to-peer networking between participating servers for the purposes of discovering and sharing access to software management functionality (e.g., as may be provided via MBeans) offered thereby, and obviates reliance upon a centralized management server or network node to provide management functionality for all participating computing resources that may be distributed across servers of the network.

Abstract: Processing for judging whether a face is included in a frame is performed, in a predetermined interval, on each of frames included in a moving image of a subject, displayed on a monitor, until the judgment becomes positive. If it is judged that a face is included in a frame, the facial position is detected in the frame, and stored. Then, judgment is made as to whether a face is included in the next frame after predetermined time. If the judgment is positive, the facial position is detected. The previously stored facial position is replaced by the newly detected facial position, and the newly detected facial position is stored. These processes are repeated until photographing operation is performed by operating a release unit.
