Abstract: A method and system to enhance the protection of the data in an user equipment and secure real time streaming of the data in the user equipment is disclosed. The method and system includes sending request by at least one user to access at least one application server. The user is provisioned to download a appropriate CMSC and a mapper into the user equipment from the application server. The method and system further comprises user sending request via an IMS network to download a data to the user equipment. The data is encrypted in the application server and is downloaded into the user equipment. The mapper identifies the appropriate CMSC, which may decrypt the data. Further, the data undergoes double decryption in real time within the user equipment before being presented in user interface. The double decryption is provisioned using the valid CMSC downloaded in the user equipment.

Abstract: An electronic book locator can be a hand-held or a mounted device for locating or cataloguing books. One or more images of book spines can be processed using character recognition methods to electronically recognize book identification information appearing on the book spine. Locations of books in a book storage area can be determined from images of the books in the book storage area. Determined book locations can be compared to designated locations and misplaced books can be indicated. A book database can be generated based on images of books. Identification information of a target book can be input into a book locator device and a location of the target book can be indicated by the device.

Abstract: Implementation size of a software package implementation can be determined by determining implementation sizes of modules, determining tasks to be implemented, determining a complexity factor, and calculating the implementation size based on the modules, tasks, and complexity factor. Implementation size of a software package implementation can be determined using a sizing framework. The sizing framework can comprise a repository of modules and functionality provided by the modules, a standard album of tasks, effort information for the tasks, and a repository of complexity values. A sizing tool can determine an implementation size of a software package implementation. The sizing tool can comprise user-interface pages for receiving a selection of modules, for receiving a selection of functionality, for receiving a selection of tasks to be implemented for the software package, and for receiving a selection of complexity values. The sizing tool can calculate the implementation size based on the selections.

Activities can be prioritized based on modeled impact.

Abstract: Techniques and tools are described which provide control access mechanisms for contents made available by a service provider to a user. The user, after a registration process, uses a mobile application on a mobile device to generate a one-time content key. The content key is input into a set-top box which validates the key and provides access to the protected content. The mobile application allows for password protection for the user, as well as a recharging ability when its one-time content keys are exhausted.

Abstract: Systems and methods of buyer-side consolidation of compatible purchase orders are described herein. Purchase orders can be identified for consolidation using spatial and temporal proximity parameters. Purchase orders can be modified by changing a ship date or a delivery date and the changing can be based on a buyer input. Shipments can be consolidated based on the purchase order modifications and less than truckload shipments can be reduced. Consolidated shipments can be associated with different requested delivery dates, different suppliers, and/or different buyers. Buyer-side consolidation of compatible purchase orders can occur before purchase orders are processed by a transportation management system.

Abstract: A user interface tool can use a repository of user interface elements to create a user interface. One or more of the elements in the repository can be reused within the interface or among multiple interfaces. At least some of the elements have associated behavioral information. The behavioral information can indicate how an element is to function or appear based on, for example, the device or business channel in which the user interface is used. The tool can employ a multi-layer architecture. At least some behaviors of the tool (e.g., which elements from the repository are presented to the user, which actions the user can perform on a user interface) can be dependant on one or more roles of the user.

Abstract: A system and method for assessing performance of a software application migrated to a grid infrastructure is provided. The system comprises a grid code analyzer for generating a directed acyclic graph (DAG) corresponding to the software application by performing static and dynamic analysis; a grid task generator for reducing the DAG generated by the grid code analyzer; and a grid simulator for simulating performance of the software application on one or more predetermined grid infrastructures.

Abstract: An XML join between XML documents can be performed by comparing XML elements between the XML documents, obtaining join-selection elements from a first XML document, obtaining join-required elements from one or more other XML documents, and performing the XML join using the elements in the first XML document and the join-required elements. The XML documents can be at different locations connected via a network. Where two XML documents are at different locations, the join-selection elements can be transmitted from a first location (of a first XML document) to a second location (of a second XML document). The join-required elements can be obtained at the second location and transmitted back to the first location. The XML join can then be performed at the first location.

Abstract: Methods and systems for secure conferencing over an IMS network or other networks include sending request by at least one user to access to an application server. The user is validated using a validation coupon provided by the user equipment followed by identifying and allowing the user equipment to download a valid media client. Conference data is encrypted and transmitted to the user equipment, and processed by the media client. Typically, the encrypted conference data is decrypted by the media client and communicated to a user interface presentation to the user. In some examples, the conference data is validated prior to downloading to the user equipment.
