Abstract: Embodiments of the invention allow structured data to be transferred between a source application and a service-oriented target application that process data in different formats. The data to be transferred may be divided into different sections, where each section is processed by a respective service of the target application. To transform each section of data into a format compatible with a respective service, the data may have a set of associated rules which transform data based on a set of variables. The source application may provide variable definitions for each of the variables. Each service of the target application may specify values for each of the variables. Once the variables have a specified value, a transformation engine may transform each section of the data and subsequently transfer the transformed sections of the data to respective services of the target application for processing.

Abstract: A system is described for collecting data records which have been correlated to subscriber, or end user, access network, core network, transport network, and application service information, referred to as end user correlated data records and utilizing those records in a wireless or wireline network to identify and address correctable conditions in a network, such as a wireless or wireline network. The system includes at least one probe in the network which is able to monitor network activity and provide detailed data records on that activity. These data records are sent to a mediation device that correlates those data records with subscriber and/or location data, to create the end user correlated data records. An intelligent application services device takes the end user correlated data records and examines the records to determine if there are any correctable conditions in the network or the end user devices.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for aggregating and presenting tags. A system configured to practice the method identifies a type for each tag describing a media event received from a tagging system, generates aggregate tags representing at least a portion of the set of tags based on the identified types, associates each aggregate tag with the media event based on the at least the portion of the plurality of tags represented by each respective aggregate tag, and optionally outputs the aggregate tags with the media event. A system configured to combine media segments based on aggregated tags first retrieves aggregate tags associated with a media event, receives input from a user, identifies a subset of aggregate tags related to the input, and outputs portions of the media event associated with the subset of aggregate tags.

Abstract: Techniques are presented for dynamically adapting software components. An enhancement for a component is dynamically detected and installed. The enhancement is dynamically processed for requests directed to the component or for responses generated by the component.

Abstract: A distributed storage system may store data object instances in persistent storage and may store keymap information for those data object instances in a distributed hash table on multiple computing nodes. Each data object instance may include a composite key containing a user key. The keymap information for each data object instance may map the user key to a locator and the locator to the data object instance. A request to store or retrieve keymap information for a data object instance may be routed to a particular computing node based on a consistent hashing scheme in which a hash function is applied to a portion of the composite key of the data object instance. Thus, related entries may be clustered on the same computing nodes. The portion of the key to which the hash function is applied may include a pre-determined number of bits or be identified using a delimiter.

The manager system then invokes one or more composites based at least in part on the request from the client system and some or all the information retrieved from the mapping.

Abstract: A method and system based on an enhanced publish-subscribe information delivery model for delivering information from information publishers to information subscribers on an Intranet or the Internet is disclosed. The invented system includes a centralized subject catalog that contains a hierarchy of categories with built-in functionality of browsing, searching, and navigation. Information publishers list information subjects in the appropriate categories in the subject catalog and publish information subsequently in terms of issues for the subject listings. Information subscribers find and make subscriptions to desired subject listings in the catalog. Then, the issues published by the publishers for the subject listings are delivered to and only to the corresponding subscribers in a timely manner. While emphasizing timeliness, the invented method and system permits great flexibility in information publication, subscription, and delivery.

Abstract: An identification information acquisition unit acquires identification information for identifying recording information to be recorded or read. A prime number acquisition unit acquires a prime number corresponding to the identification information among prime numbers having the same number of digits. A computation unit computes the sum of all of the digits of the identification information, the sum being the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the values of each digit of the identification information by the difference obtained by subtracting the differences corresponding to the digits from the acquired prime number. A path determination unit determines a path indicating the directory, where the recording information is stored, from the sum. This method can be applied to an NFS (Network File System).

In another aspect, the media item portion entries may be used to identify media item portions used in creating composite media items.

Abstract: A computer that is programmed with software attaches one object (“from-object”) to another object (“to-object”) by preparing a new duplicate of certain metadata in the from-object, without copying any content of the from-object. The new duplicate metadata is stored in memory for use in identifying the from-object and the to-object as being attached. If the from-object itself has any existing attachments, e.g. to a group of additional objects, there already exists a group of existing metadatas that form existing attachments between the from-object and the group of additional objects. In such a case, the computer still prepares, without content copying, a group of new metadatas to identify the relationship between a corresponding additional object and the from-object. Some embodiments also identify the to-object within each metadata in the group of new metadatas, thereby to identify a path of objects through which an additional object is accessible.

The method further includes receiving a user selection of one of the search results. The method further includes automatically displaying, in response to the user selection of the one of the search results, a landing page for the one of the search results in a web browser on the computing device. The method further includes receiving from the user a selection of a first back button in the web browser and, in response to the user selection of the first back button, activating the non-browser application.

Abstract: The capability to design and implement roles in a role-based system is disclosed. The system and data architecture enable organizations to model and assign relationships between Roles and other entities in a computing environment. The complex interrelation of Groups and Roles is established in an environment where: users need not be a member of a Group to use the capabilities of a Role; Role ownership is distinct from Role usage; and Roles themselves have attributes. A collection of methods enable creation, configuration, maintenance, ownership and usage of roles and for implementing relationships between the Role and other system entities, attributes and permissions.

Abstract: A method for increasing performance of non-relational databases with reduction in view index sizes is provided. One or more user views are provided in addition to the master view having all hierarchical/categorized data. User views are created having a subset of this hierarchical/categorized data that significantly reduces index size and improves performance. The indexes of the user view are associated with the indexes of the master view. This method improves view caching by dividing view cache into partitions based on the types of view, each with different priorities and management techniques. The master view may have a higher priority and may be used by servers while the user view may have lower priorities and may be used by users and client applications. In this way, legacy non-relational databases may continue to be suitably maintained with acceptable performance and avoiding potential cost and risk of migrating to a relational database.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for updating a data store in a distributed data store system. In one embodiment, a previous version of a data store is compared to an updated version of the data store in order to create a transaction store. The transaction store may include a cryptographic hash indicative of the previous version of the data store and a cryptographic hash indicative of the updated version of the data store. The transaction store further indicates data differences between the previous and updated versions of the data stores. The transaction store may then be used to update data stores at other locations.
