Control over message publication can be based on whether a message publication meets the importance criteria.

Abstract: A system, program product, and method are provided for copying a virtual machine image. An image library comprising a plurality of system images is provided by a target data processing system. A source image selection is received at the target data processing system. A given image from the image library is selected by the target system based on the received source image. The selected given image is transformed into a copy of the virtual machine image by receiving blocks from a source system that are part of the virtual machine image but not a part of the selected given image, such that only the blocks missing from the selected given image are transferred from the source system to the target system in order to form the copy of the virtual machine image. The source image is preferably a virtual data processing system image.

Abstract: A distributed caching hierarchy that includes multiple edge routing servers, at least some of which receiving content requests from client computing systems via a load balancer. When receiving a content request, an edge routing server identifies which of the edge caching servers the requested content would be in if the requested content were to be cached within the edge caching servers, and distributes the content request to the identified edge caching server in a deterministic and predictable manner to increase the likelihood of increasing a cache-hit ratio.

Abstract: A method for transmitting files via a network is proposed. In a first step, the size of a file to be transmitted is transmitted. Following this, the value of a maximum permitted data traffic is calculated from the size of the file and a factor X. Finally, the transmission process of a file is stopped as soon as the data volume transmitted exceeds the maximum permitted data traffic.

Abstract: A system and method for data communication connecting on-line networks with on-line and off-line computers. The present system provides for broadcast of up to the minute notification centric information thereby providing an instant call to action for users who are provided with the ability to instantaneously retrieve further detailed information. The notification centric portions of information is wirelessly broadcast to wireless receiving devices which are attached to computing devices. Upon receipt of the information at the personal computer, the user is notified through different multimedia alerts that there is an incoming message. Wirelessly broadcasted URL's, associated with the data, are embedded in data packets and provide an automated wired or wireless connection back to the information source for obtaining detailed data.

Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided for management of content(s) directed to a wireless digital media frame (WDMF). Management is facilitated by a service provided by a mobile network platform. A service subscription allows a subscriber to establish femto cell coverage in a location that host a subscribed WDMF(s); determine content(s) delivery preferences; and extend the service to a group of auxiliary subscribers. Various sources of content such as a mobile station, a non-mobile device, or a content server associated with a service platform (e.g., an internet service provider) can deliver content(s) and signaling. Integrity of content(s) and signaling is provided through access protocol(s) that exploits credentials associated with a source of content. Content(s) are managed through a content interface that conveys available content(s) in a source of content and an intended WDMF. Various alarm(s) can be delivered to a WDMF as a part of the content management service.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus including a display unit that is capable of displaying an operation screen provided by a server notifies the server of a content of an instruction from a user via an operation screen provided by the server and displayed on the display unit, and if the server requests execution of a process based on the notified content of the instruction, executes the requested process. The information processing apparatus determines an operation screen displayed on the display unit after notifying the server, and if the operation screen provided by the server is displayed on the display unit, performs control to execute the process requested by the server, and if another operation screen is displayed on the display unit instead of the operation screen provided by the server, performs control to not execute the process requested by the server.

Abstract: A method and system of providing group management for IMS conferencing services involves creating side control channels for membership control services. The membership control channel can use Client Group Management Protocol (CGMP) or alternate group management protocols. The membership channel can use HTTP, SIP, or other transport protocols. Group management protocol primitives and procedure calls can be communicated using SOAP or other XML-based protocols.

Abstract: A distributed hierarchical registry provides services, such as registry services, including client device discovery and communication services. The distributed hierarchical registry comprises a plurality of registry groups where a registry group comprises a plurality of registry servers. The registry servers receive client device information, such as status, capability, and usage information, and update other registry servers, in the same registry group and/or in other registry groups, using a quorum consensus protocol. The registry servers also respond to lookup requests from client devices. Registry servers use policies to define parameters such as a number of registry servers that make up a read quorum and the number of registry servers that make up a write quorum.

Abstract: An event-processing method and system are provided for efficiently re-delivering notification events stored by a Remote User Interface Server (RUIS), from the RUIS to remote user interface clients (RUICs), in a home network supporting an RUI. An RUIC transmits an information request to the remote user interface server, receives, from the RUIS, notification event information corresponding to the information request, transmits a notification event request based on the received notification event information to the RUIS, and receives, from the RUIS, at least one notification event corresponding to the notification event request.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus to protect users of the Internet from DNS outages. In particular, an outage avoidance system is provided that includes query processing, outage avoidance processing, and a local cache, all configured to extend the TTL of expired answers to DNS queries or to ignore the expiration of an answer's TTL value, and thereby provide the expired answer in response to a client request when a DNS server is unable to obtain an answer from a remote DNS server.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for processing a non-returnable command response based on a markup element. In one aspect, a resource is sent to a user agent includes a no-return markup element. A request message is received identifying a command and including no-return-request information based on the resource. The command is processed and no command response is sent for delivery to the user agent in response to receiving the no-return-request information. In another aspect, a resource including a no-return markup element is received from a server. A determination is made, based on the no-return markup element, that a command identified based on the resource is non-returnable. In response to the determination, a no-return indicator is set to send no command response for the command for delivery to a user agent requesting the command.
