Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for dynamically injecting behaviors into view components are described herein. In an embodiment, a view component resides in an MXML file, while its behavior code (e.g., ACTIONSCRIPT) is stored in a separate file (e.g., .as file). In this way, the view component can be reused in separate applications where different behaviors may be applied to the same view component. In addition, because the behavior code is stored in a separate file, the behavior code is easier to read and maintain. Furthermore, behaviors can be dynamically (i.e., at runtime) injected into and un-injected from the view component. Embodiments of the invention also allow multiple behaviors to be injected into the same view component.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for monitoring server cloud topology and resources are described herein. An embodiment includes determining a topological relationship of the computing nodes in the server cloud and constructing a data structure representing the topological relationship. The constructed data structure includes a plurality of node managed objects (MOs), where each node managed object corresponds to a computing node in the server cloud. The constructed data structure also includes a plurality of link managed objects, where each link managed object corresponds to inter-node communications between two or more computing nodes represented by the node managed objects. The node managed objects and the link managed objects publish events corresponding to changes affecting computing nodes in the server cloud.

Abstract: A system and methodology for real-time content aggregation and syndication is described. In one embodiment, for example, a method is described for assisting a user with extracting items relevant to search queries from documents including items of various types, the method comprises steps of: receiving a search query specifying a search phrase and a particular item type; identifying documents matching the search phrase; for each matching document, determining whether the document includes an item having the particular item type; and extracting items having the particular item type from the matching documents for display to the user. The solution enables a user to aggregate and syndicate content without a professional content manager or complicated content management software tools.

Abstract: A subscription manager module or message processing engine operating within a messaging inter-carrier vendor (MICV) provides value added services to both service users (e.g., mobile telephone users) and service providers (e.g., information brokers, vendors, news sources, etc.). The MICV is disposed between a plurality of service users and a plurality of service providers and messages sent between these parties are processed by a subscription manager module, or message processing engine, which is configured to, among other things, manage short codes, detect undesirable spam messages, operate service user opt-in and opt-out processes, and perform billing functions.

Abstract: Network System and Method for facilitating message exchange between mobile subscribers belonging to the same or different public land mobile networks, possibly incorporating different standards. Message exchange between two subscribers of the same or different networks may involve one or more lookups on subscription data, zero or more message transformations, one or more routing decisions including application of costing functions, and, storage and propagation of the message in one or more Core or Intermediary networks. The messages may be of type, among others, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Service), or EMAIL.

Abstract: A service that augments a key element of Unified Messaging and Unified Communications initiatives—i.e., Mobile Subscriber Location Awareness—to enhance substantially the value, usefulness, etc. of the presence awareness, place shifting, etc. components of such initiatives. The service may optionally leverage the capabilities of a centrally-located, full-featured Messaging Inter-Carrier Vendor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for measuring latency in a continuous processing system. The invention involves generating “tracer” messages that are specifically designed for measuring latency. A tracer message is configured to pass through and be outputted by each primitive in the tracer message's path regardless of the function of the primitive and without changing the state of the primitive. Tracer messages are not filtered by filter primitives or delayed by time-delay primitives. Tracer messages are detected and discarded within loops. These rules provide for predictable behavior of tracer messages, thereby making them reliable indicators of latency and liveness in the continuous processing system. A tracer message is inserted into the continuous processing system at a desired start point for measuring latency. At a desired end point for measuring latency, latency is measured by calculating the amount of time the tracer message took to travel from the start point to the end point.

Abstract: A method and system for providing message-based access to services includes receiving a request message from a mobile subscriber relating to a service that is desired by the mobile subscriber, routing the request message for processing, performing one or more activities in accordance with the requested service, returning a response message to the mobile subscriber, and facilitating/enabling/etc. access to the requested service.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for monitoring managed resources by subscribing to broadcast notifications relayed by a Java Management Extensions (JMX) message bridge between JMX managed beans (JMX MBeans) and a client application with user interface (UI) components. In an embodiment, ADOBE™ FLEX™ user UI components subscribe to JMX broadcast notifications. The method generates messages destined for UI components using a JMX broadcaster. JMX MBeans are created in a JMX server and are subscribed to JMX broadcasts. The JMX MBeans are created with filter values identifying destination UI components. A JMX managed object name is passed to the UI during the creation of the UI components. The UI components become consumers of a message topic. A JMX message adapter dedicated to the communication with the JMX MBeans receives JMX broadcast notifications. Messages generated by the JMX broadcaster are relayed to the destination UI components through the JMX MBeans.

Abstract: Natural language interface to a back-end application, incorporating synonyms, suggestions, and proposals. Roughly described, synonyms are automatically added to user input to enhance the natural language interpretation, whereas suggestions and proposals are offered to the user in an interaction, usually after an interpretation of prior user input. Suggestions and synonyms can be learned from user input, whereas proposals are programmed by a third party. The selection of synonyms, suggestions, and proposals for use with particular user input can be user input context-based so that further user input can maintain context by explicitly indicating that the same context is intended, and rewards-based reinforcement can be used to better focus suggestions and proposals on the characteristics of the particular user.
