Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to persisting values in a computing environment, particularly using computer programs that run on a virtual machine. An illustrative method includes first launching a computer program, preferably within the environment of a virtual machine. The method further includes loading a plurality of classes associated with the computer program into memory by way of a special class loader. This class loader scans at least one class of classes loaded into memory for at least one persistence-annotated field within that class. The special class loader further writes byte code into a class that contains the at least one persistence-annotated field. The byte code that is added to the class causes a first object that is later instantiated from the at least one class to have the persistence-annotated field.

Abstract: In accordance with one or more aspects, a request to run an application is received. The application has an associated tune manifest that identifies one or more resources that the application may use. The tune manifest is compared to a device resource record, and a check is made, based at least in part on the comparing, whether the one or more resources identified in the tune manifest can be satisfied by the device. If the one or more resources identified in the tune manifest can be satisfied by the device, then the application is run; otherwise, a notification of a conflict between the application and the device is presented. Additionally, when the application exits, a device tune state that identifies a content source to which the device was tuned prior to running the application can be retrieved and the device restored to this device tune state.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for deploying a VNF using NEC are provided. The method is as follows: After receiving first location information sent by a user terminal, a central VNFC sends, to a VNFM, a creation request message that is used to create an edge VNFC, where the creation request message carries the first location information. After receiving the creation request message, the VNFM sends, to a VIM, a first request message that is used to create a virtual machine or a container of the edge VNFC, where the first request message carries the first location information and a mirror of the edge VNFC. In this way, it can be implemented that a deployment location of the edge VNFC is proximate to a user in a NEC scenario, thereby reducing a service delay and improving quality of service.

Abstract: Techniques for asynchronous handling of service requests are disclosed. A service receives a request from a requesting entity. The request includes a function identifier and function input. Responsive to receiving the message, the service selects a first event handler to process the request. The service translates, via the first event handler, the function identifier to a native function call. The service initiates execution of the native function call using the function input, and receives output corresponding to the execution of the native function call. Responsive to receiving the output, the service selects a second event handler to process the output. The service generates, at least in part by the second event handler, a response based on the output. The service transmits the response to the requesting entity.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating events between applications. A first application receives event information for an event. A first action is performed by the first application in response to receiving the event information. The first application generates an event message comprising an event name and a message payload. The message payload comprises at least a portion of the event information. The first application publishes the event message by sending the event message to an event message pipeline. A second application may listen for the event message in the event message pipeline, receive the event message from the event message pipeline, and use the message payload to perform a second action, wherein the second action is different from the first action.

Abstract: A device configured to emulate a node in a correlithm object processing system includes a memory and a node. The memory stores a node table that links source correlithm objects to target correlithm objects. The node receives an input correlithm object and determines n-dimensional distances between it and the source correlithm objects, and determines that it is not within an n-dimensional distance threshold from any of the source correlithm objects. The node receives a stimulus condition correlithm object in conjunction with receiving the input correlithm object and adds the input correlithm object to the node table as a new source correlithm object in response to determining that it is not within the n-dimensional distance threshold and further in response to receiving the stimulus condition correlithm object. The node then links a new target correlithm object to the new source correlithm object in the node table.
