Abstract: In embodiments, methods and systems for implementing an infrastructure management system that supports hardware failure remediation are provided. A determination is made that a failure of a hardware component has occurred. The hardware component is part of a hardware composite. A remediation attribute of the hardware composite is accessed. The remediation attribute indicates a minimum operational bar for the hardware composite. The minimum operational bar is based on health metrics or optional and required components of the hardware composite. The bar supports determining whether the hardware composite should operate in a degraded state. A determination is made that the hardware composite if operating without the hardware component that has failed meets the minimum operational bar for the hardware composite. Operation of the hardware composite in the degraded state is initiated.

Abstract: A link request for a service is received. The link request includes an action parameter associated with an action that is to be executed in response to the link request. A determination is made as to whether the link request includes a service module identifier associated with a service provider that provides the service. In response to determining that the link request includes the service module identifier, a target page is determined and a link handler is generated. The target page is determined based on the service module identifier and the action parameter. The link handler is generated based on the service module identifier and the action parameter. The link handler is configured, when executed, to retrieve the target page. The link handler is executed based on the action parameter to retrieve the target page.

Abstract: A session management method and an apparatus, where the method includes: obtaining, by a session management function (SMF), a point-to-point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) message from a user equipment; assigning a PPPoE session identifier and/or an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the user equipment; and sending, by the SMF, the assigned PPPoE session identifier and/or IP address to the user equipment, to establish a PPPoE connection between the user equipment and a network side device. The method is performed after a packet data unit (PDU) session is successfully established. The SMF sends the PPPoE session identifier and/or the IP address to the user equipment. In this case, the user equipment can store a correspondence between the established PDU session and a PPPoE session, such that the user equipment accesses a 5G core network (CN) through a fixed network.

Abstract: The disclosure presents a set of novel methods and apparatus designed to add a communication ability to an external surface of a vehicle, using an animated visible light electronic message device, by selectively displaying pre-defined digital symbols. The addition of the display to a vehicle allows the vehicle to communicate with other vehicles, persons, or devices without requiring any functionality change to the other party. The new methods and apparatus also enable two vehicles that are both installed with the message devices to communicate with each other. These message devices can be installed on surfaces which include, but are not limited to, windshields of the vehicle, the top of the vehicle, the front and back bumper of the vehicle or other windows of the vehicle. The digital symbols displayed are pre-defined by the device manufacturer and not modifiable or creatable by the vehicle user.

Abstract: A method for deploying a computer operating environment and a deployment system are provided. A template machine is provided. A deployment program is executed in the template machine for scanning data of an operating system and applications in the template machine. The data are segmented into multiple segments and then encoded. An index and a checksum for each of the segments called metainfo are created. The metainfo is distributed to terminal machines within a network domain. After receiving the metainfo, every terminal machine obtains the segments, decodes the segments, and verifies the correctness of the received segments with the checksum. When requested by other terminal machines, the terminal machine reads the specific segments and then distributes those to the other terminal machines via a peer-to-peer data sharing protocol. The deployment is completed after all of the segments of operating environment are written in the terminal machine.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to utilize the network effect of end-user viral adoption of collaborative services and applications hosted by multi-tenant computing systems. A system can achieve this by automatically clustering users who independently send requests to generate new tenants. A number of factors can enable a system to cluster users into a single tenant including characteristics of requests to generate new tenants and/or member identities received in association with requests to generate new tenants. Examples of request characteristics can include network addresses indicating a source of each request, a domain name or entity names received in association with a request, a rate in which requests are received, and/or heuristic techniques that utilize various combinations of these and other factors. The automatic selection of users for specific tenants allows a system to allow viral user adoption without a centralized IT manager.

Abstract: A method and system for providing interoperability for Rich Communications Suite/Systems (RCS) messaging. If a target network device cannot receive RCS messages, electronic messages are modified on an RCS message application to include an electronic link to an RCS interoperability application. The RCS interoperability application independently provides seamless, rich multi-media RCS functionality to the target network device when the electronic link is activated in the modified electronic message. The RCS interoperability application provides two-way RCS message communications between target network devices without RCS functionality and target network devices with RCS functionality.
