Abstract: An event clustering system has an extraction engine in communication with a managed infrastructure. A signalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine, a k-means clustering engine and a topology proximity engine. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics or features from events, the signalizer engine using the common features of events to produce clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the managed infrastructure. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information. The system is configured to group two or more situations, where a situation is a collection of one or more events or alerts representative of a problem in the managed infrastructure.

Abstract: Cloud computing has emerged as an extremely popular implementation option for a wide range of computing services. However, provisioning services into the cloud is an extremely difficult technical challenge. This is due in part to the regular emergence of new cloud service providers, as well as the routine changing and reconfiguration of the disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features offered by the service providers. An analysis architecture determines how to map a particular technical component into the execution environment of any particular service provider with the aid of translation scripts.

The method may include storing data associated with and indicative of a first plurality of presentations; storing data associated with a plurality of second presentation feeds: automatically and periodically accessing each of the feeds; and aggregating each of the presentations for delivery via the computer network.

Abstract: A virtual private router (VPR) intercepts DNS requests and returns a pseudo IP address to the requesting application and the pseudo IP address is mapped to a domain name in the request. Requests for content including the pseudo IP address are modified to include the corresponding domain name and transmitted to an intermediary server, which resolves the domain name to a real IP address and forwards the content request. The content is received by the intermediary server, which returns it to the requesting application, such as by way of the VPR. Real IP addresses may be returned by the intermediary server such that subsequent content requests to the domain name may bypass the intermediary server. Requests for certain domains, ports, and/or protocols may bypass the intermediary server such that the VPR resolves the domain names to real IP addresses.

Abstract: Described embodiments relate to a machine to machine (M2M) server for controlling a data collection interval of a M2M device. The M2M server may be configured to determine data dependency between a first M2M device and a second M2M device based on sensing data collected from the first M2M device and the second M2M device and to control a data collection interval of at least one of the first M2M device and the second M2M device based on sensing data variation of one of the first M2M device and the second M2M device.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes receiving, from a link owner, a first interest message for an authorized link object, wherein the authorized link object links to content of a content owner. The method also includes transmitting, to the link owner, a second interest message for a proposed link object based on the first interest message. The method further includes receiving, from the link owner, the proposed link object, wherein the proposed link object comprises a first signature generated by the link owner.
