Abstract: A mobile device is associated with navigational information of a client vehicle and provides the navigational information of the client vehicle to an emergency vehicle notification service. The mobile also receives an emergency vehicle message from the emergency vehicle notification service, where the emergency vehicle message includes navigational information of an emergency responder vehicle. The mobile device determines updated navigational information of the client vehicle, and identifies a projected intersection between a path of the emergency responder vehicle and a path of the client vehicle based on the emergency vehicle message and the updated navigational information of the client vehicle. The mobile device generates an alert signal to a user of the mobile device based on the identification of the projected intersection.

Abstract: An approach is provided for validating lower layer paths for higher layer networks. A request for path cost information is generated relating to a path traversing a first autonomous system and a second autonomous system, wherein each of the autonomous systems utilizes different cost metrics. The path cost information is received associated with reservation of capacity for the path. The path cost information is evaluated. The reservation is selectively accepted based on the evaluation.

Abstract: A set-top box receives a channel input from a remote control associated with a user, and determines whether the channel input is a double-click channel input. The set-top box retrieves a user-defined content list, associated with the user, when the channel input is determined to be a double-click channel input, and tunes to a channel associated with the retrieved user-defined content list. The set-top box also receives content associated with the tuned to channel, and provides the received content to a television, where the television displays the received content to the user.

Abstract: An approach is provided for automatic disabling of network debugging. A debugging command is received for initiating debugging of a router that includes a processor configured to execute a debugging procedure. Utilization of the processor is monitored. A determination is made whether the utilization exceeds a utilization threshold. The debugging procedure is disabled based on the determination that the utilization threshold is exceeded.

Abstract: A technique for quickly locating, diagnosing and fixing problems with one or more servers is presented. The technique improves upon prior art techniques by providing a centralized utility by which multiple servers may be viewed and modified. More particularly, the technique allows a user to view, in a consolidated format, features of multiple servers and to modify parameters of such servers from a remote location.

Abstract: A device receives code division multiple access (CDMA) capacity/resource information via a first direct interface with a radio network controller (RNC) associated with a CDMA radio access network (RAN), and determines, based on the CDMA capacity/resource information, a capacity associated with the CDMA RAN. The device also determines, based on the CDMA capacity/resource information, a resource availability associated with the CDMA RAN, and determines, based on the capacity and the resource availability associated with the CDMA RAN, a CDMA RAN resource allocation.

Abstract: This disclosure details the implementation of methods, systems and computer program products for a cloud computing spot market platform (hereinafter, “Platform”). Fluctuations in demand for computing resources may engender idle processing capacity within the framework of a cloud computing system. Embodiments of the Platform provide infrastructure for redistributing idle capacity to grid-style batch computing processes, such as may be based on the same processing resources as those used by the cloud computing system. In this manner, Platform embodiments may increase the utilization of idle resources and reduce revenue losses associated with demand variability for cloud computing system administrators. In one embodiment, market-oriented floating prices for grid-style batch computing utilizing idle resources may be implemented based on monitored and analyzed levels of computing resource supply and demand.
