Abstract: Technologies are provided for correlating alert messages using correlation domains. Alert messages can be received that are related to computer network components. The alert messages can be partitioned using separate correlation domains and analyzed by separate alert processors. When an alert message is received, it can be analyzed to determine a correlation domain with which the alert message is associated. The alert message can then be correlated with other alert messages associated with the correlation domain, and alert messages that are not associated with the correlation domain can be ignored. Groups of alert messages associated with different correlation domains can be correlated independently by different alert processors. Events generated by an alert processor can include correlation domain information. Events associated with different correlation domains can be handled differently.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a serial network de-multiplexes a stream of traffic in the serial network into a plurality of data streams. A particular one of the data streams is associated with a particular endpoint in the serial network. The device determines that data from the particular data stream associated with the particular endpoint should be reported to an entity external to the serial network based on an event indicated by the data from the particular data stream. The device quantizes the data from the particular data stream. The device applies compression to the quantized data to form a compressed representation of the particular data stream. The applied compression is selected based on a data type associated with the data. The device sends a compressed representation of the particular data stream to the external entity as Internet Protocol (IP) traffic.

Abstract: A vehicle controller communicates with a cellular communication system to request content. The content is transmitted to one or more road side units with storage (RSS) lying on the vehicles known or inferred trajectory. When the vehicle passes by the RSS some or all of the content is transmitted to the vehicle using a short-range, high-bandwidth communication protocol. The content may be divided into segments and each segment sent to an RSS. The segments are sized according to a capacity of the RSS and the amount of time the vehicle is expected to spend traversing a range of the RSS. Content may be cached in the RSS for use by other vehicles.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing access to shared computing resources in a computing system which include representing resources as objects and managing access to those objects using the construct of a resource instance manager. A set of resource instance managers responds to all commands requesting access to a set of respective shared resources. Access to each shared resource is managed by a unique resource instance manager for that resource which maintains a consistent state for that shared resource. Each resource instance manager determines, in response to receiving requests to allow execution of commands and using a set of predefined rues, whether those commands may be safely executed concurrently with other commands acting on the same shared resource. If the commands cannot be executed concurrently, the resource instance managers change the order in which queued commands are executed or abort execution of one or more commands.

Abstract: Improved techniques are provided for processing streams of data. The duration of the time that an event is eligible for remaining in a time-based window can be variable for different events received via the same event stream. In certain embodiments, the duration of time that an input event spends in a time-based window is a function of one or more values of one or more attributes of the event. Since different events can have different one or more attribute values, the different events can spend different amounts of time in the time-based window for that event stream. The amount of time that an event spends in a time-based window can be controlled via the one or more attributes of the event.
