Abstract: The embodiments described herein recite a geo-location based community of interest (CIO) system and method that add the capability to configure Network Connect Devices (NOD) to identify the location of the source and destination TIP addresses. The NODS may drop any packets that are destined to an IP address outside of its predefined radius. For any sent/received packets, the geo-location position of the remote IP-address on the wide area network (WAN) may be determined. The distance between two points on the earth given their latitudes and longitudes of the devices may be determined. If the distance is greater than the predefined range, the data packets may be denied. If the distance falls within the pre-determined range, the data packets are allowed to reach their destination.

Abstract: Reliability and performance of complex applications executed across workload groups of one or more host computer systems may be improved by automating the verification of consistent policies across the workload groups. An automatic verification process may be executed on a host computer system to identify workload groups that are not collecting statistics, to identify polices that are not enforced on certain workload groups, to identify policies that are not in force for certain periods of the day, and to identify policies that are disabled. Where an application has a complex configuration, the automatic verification process allows an administrator to identify inconsistent policies.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for a destination cached routing protocol for data transmission among a plurality of nodes in a mobile ad hoc network. When a routing request is received, an intermediate node transmits a received routing request message to neighboring nodes, and appends its address to and forwards the routing request packet only to other nodes from which a received routing request message was not received during a first predetermined period of time. When a route reply packet is received, the designated data transmission route is stored in memory as a cached data transmission route to the destination node, and a cached route message is transmitted to neighboring nodes, which also store the data transmission route. Upon a link failure, alternative data transmission routes are stored in memory and may be utilized to continue data transmission without additional route discovery.

Abstract: A conference collaboration system has a server connected to a network and configured to generate a page view requested by a client device over the network and provide dynamic content associated with the requested page view for display on the device; and a database configured to store the dynamic content, update the dynamic content in response to commands from the server, and provide the dynamic content to the server in response to requests from the server, wherein the dynamic content is associated with a plurality of services, each shown in a page view, and the dynamic content and the services are associated with a conference. The server can determine an authorization level of a user interacting with the client device and provide a page view and dynamic content in response to the authorization level, and the dynamic content is updated or created in response to or for actions during the conference.

Abstract: A rollback record may be created for each step identifier (ID). The rollback record indicates how many times the step record identified by the step ID has been rolled back during operation of the database. The rollback record may be stored in a periodic save record (PSR), separate from or stored in an audit trail containing the step records. By processing the rollback records in the periodic save record during a recovery, a database may identify a time on an audit trail for initiating a recovery prior to the last resume point for a step without going back in the audit trail to a time before the initial start of the step.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed to perform online disk data redistribution in a database environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced security of media are provided. Media security may be enhanced by improving the setup of encryption and/or decryption, by improving the performance of encryption and/or decryption, or by improving both. The calls related to enhanced security of media from an application in an emulated environment to a security module in the operating system hosting the emulated environment may be combined to reduce the overhead of accessing a security module. An application handling secure shell (SSH) communications may execute multiple calls to a cryptographic module in the host operating system. Because many calls to the cryptographic module during SSH communications follow patterns, two or more related calls may be combined into a single combined call to the cryptographic module. For example, a call to generate a server-to-client key and a call to generate a client-to-server key may be combined into a single call.
