Abstract: A method for determining candidates for a person who is to handle a failure upon occurrence of a failure as call-target persons and calling the call-target persons via the Internet is provided. The method is a method which is to be executed by a server, for supporting calling of call-target persons within a list in which candidates for a person who is to handle a failure are defined as call-target persons, upon occurrence of a failure, and includes a step of calling a client of a call-target person selected from the list via the Internet, and a step of receiving a response result indicating a result of operation in response to the calling from the client of the selected call-target person.

Abstract: To provide a system enabling a function for implementing providing of a service desired by an end user to be automatically generated in a network connecting appliance. When a resource server (RS) receives a request for a specification which is desired to be implemented from a particular service adapter (SA), the requested specification is analyzed by a specification analyzing device, a virtual service adapter is formed by collecting functional modules required to implement the specification, and the formed virtual service adapter is provided for the requesting service adapter. The virtual service adapter is automatically set as a physical service adapter to implement an actually requested function in a service adapter at an end user's place.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of routers in more than one network based on different protocols can be integrally managed. The management system of the present invention is capable of integrally managing a plurality of routers in a network based on IPv6 from another network based on IPv4, wherein a relay server receives the identification data from a router, and transmits it to a LAN server. The LAN server uses the received identification data, and pushes the configuration data prepared in advance for the accessing router into the router. The relay server, which has a converting function between IPv4 and IPv6, manages the network on the routers side by IPv6 while it manages the network on the LAN server's side by IPv4.
