Abstract: This disclosure is related to systems, devices, and methods of adaptive replication. Adaptive replication can allow a node in a network to optimally determine where, when, and how to retrieve data from other nodes in the network. For example, adaptive replication may include receiving a notification corresponding to data at a first node in the network and selecting a node of multiple nodes in the network to retrieve the data from. The first node may retrieve the data from any node within the network that has the data. In some embodiments, a node may add delays or select where to retrieve data from based on a priority, a bandwidth, or other factors.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing communication in an IP network between a server and a probe that does not maintain an IP address by selectively restricting which IP addresses that are identified as active in the network may be borrowed for the probes. Restriction of IP addresses may include a black list to exclude specific IP addresses, a white list from which IP addresses can be drawn or both. This permits control over which IP addresses may be borrowed by probes, reducing false alarms, alerts or other network concerns caused by unexpected IP traffic on a particular IP address in the network.

Abstract: A network proxy can be provided as a layer between an application layer protocol (such as the Remote Desktop Protocol) and a transport layer protocol (such as TCP). The network proxy can intercept communications between the application layer protocol and the transport layer protocol. The network proxy can transmit communications on multiple connections, without the application layer or transport layer protocols being aware of the parallelization.

Abstract: Rather than forcing users to give personally identifying contact data to information providers, this disclosure teaches an apparatus and method enabling the use of “private tokens,” which allow information providers to send electronic communications to targeted users without having access to personally identifying contact information. These features are provided by an anonymous communication service that manages the private tokens and provides communication proxy services intermediating the electronic communications between the information providers and the users targeted by those communications.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards automatically managing job request execution for a computer cluster using cloud computing resource allocations. When client computers to the computer cluster submit job requests to a head node, a set of job requests is selected based on a policy. The head node converts the set of job requests into a set of resource allocation requests based on job specification data. After communicating the resource allocation requests to a cloud computing provider, the head node is granted access and control over one or more worker nodes as a response. The worker nodes proceed to execute the set of job requests and update the head node with status information once the execution finishes.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a content download service, that preferably includes a content service server for receiving a request for a content service from a client terminal accessed through a network, and identifying the client terminal and one or more sub-client terminals connected to the client terminal to route the requested contents and a download control signal. A client terminal obtains inherent information from one or more adjacent terminals to request a service from the content service server, and decodes transmitted contents by using the inherent information of the adjacent terminals when receiving the download control signal from the content service server.

Abstract: A repository receives a policy enforcement point. The repository is a component of a service oriented architecture. A repository manager identifies a service associated with a service level agreement that specifies the policy enforcement point. The policy enforcement point is transmitted to the service. The policy enforcement point is then installed on the service without interrupting the service.

Abstract: A layered approach to access control is used where each access control layer implements a set of access control rules. The access control rules in each layer are applied in order beginning with the first access control layer. To gain access to the network, the access attempt must not be barred by any access control layer.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide methods and systems for improving the scalability and redundancy of a distributed content streaming system. Such scalability and redundancy is provided with zero configuration changes to the addressing used by content providers to publish content and zero configuration changes to existing servers of the system. The system includes ingest servers and edge servers. Content providers supply content streams to the ingest servers using a virtual or load balanced address that distributes the content streams across the ingest servers. Accordingly, ingest servers can be added or removed without changing content provider configurations. The ingest servers are configured to notify the edge servers of which content streams are available for streaming at which ingest server. When an ingest server is added to the system, its functionality may be assimilated without modifying the configurations of the other servers. Some embodiments also provide multiple caching layers.

Abstract: A content player accesses content via a content access list shared by a network of players. The content is stored by one or more of the players. One or more of the players may be thin clients that can access content stored by other players but cannot themselves store content. The content access list lists available stored content. The content player associates a bookmark with the content and includes identification information that identifies the requestor related to generation of the bookmark. When the content player presents the content access list, bookmarks associated with content included in list are also be along with the identification information. In some implementations, the requestor related to generation of the respective bookmark may be the content player that generated the bookmark, the specific user that entered input that prompted generation of the bookmark, and/or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method and a system for defining additional resources in a user management system in a MES system includes providing a custom resource database at the server side with entries editable at engineering time or at run time. At engineering or at run time, a client application requests, via a local user management service, the definition of a custom resource from a centralized user management service, which in turns adds an entry related to the requested custom resource in the custom resource database. At run time, at a given event, the centralized user management service, beside transmitting other data to the local user management service, also transmits from the custom resource database additional data on the custom resources associated with the user and user groups as well as additional data on a second set of script files associated to the custom resources.
