Abstract: In embodiments, a computer system of a primary entity receives from a secondary entity a first communication about a relationship instance between the primary entity and the secondary entity, and transmits to an Online Service Provider (OSP) a second communication with a dataset. The dataset has dataset parameters about the relationship instance. The second communication causes the OSP to select a file template per the dataset, to produce a resource for the dataset, and to prepare a digital exhibit that is arranged to report the resource as answering the identified requirement. The OSP then transmits to the computer system a third communication that includes an access indicator adapted to facilitate viewing the digital exhibit. Upon receiving the third communication, the computer system transmits a fourth communication to the device of the secondary entity, the fourth communication including the access indicator.

Abstract: There is provided a method for handling a service request. The method is performed by a first service communication proxy (SCP) node. If no response is received from a second network function (NF) node of a service producer to a first request transmitted towards the second NF node via the first SCP node, where the first request is for the second NF node to execute a service requested by a first NF node of a service consumer, transmission of information is initiated towards the first NF node. The information is indicative that no response is received from the second NF node to the first request.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for use with a microservices or other computing environment, including a web server together with related libraries and features usable to build cloud-native applications or services. To support features such as client/server connection abstraction, router abstraction, or the use of different protocols on a single socket, an extensible service provider interface provides software methods that allow protocol identification for a request message and connection. When a connection request message is received from a client directed to a server, a determination is made as to whether the request can be appropriately handled. The protocol identification process can, for example, return an indication that the system does not support the request protocol, that it does not have enough data to make a decision, or that additional data is needed to make such a determination.

Abstract: System and techniques for a hierarchical resource constrained networks are described herein. Device participating in the network are divided into groups. These groups correspond to vertices in a routing graph. A leader is selected amongst the devices in each group to function as a routing node connecting to other vertices of the routing graph. Client devices attach to leaf vertices in the routing graph. To reduce overhead in placing devices into the routing pools, a distributed hash table (DHT) can be used. Here, the routing pools can be given DHT IDs based on, for example, a structure of the routing graph. Device DHT IDs are used to assign them to the routing pools based on a distance metric. Routing, in this arrangement, can use the DHT IDs to efficiently compute routing pool hops when routing messages. This arrangement works well for publication-subscription (pub-sub) services.

Abstract: Examples describe data security and routines structured to avoid conflicts. One example includes accessing data for a merchant website including a framework with a first routine for a function, and accessing an account security element for the merchant website with a second routine associated with an account security system for the function. The second routine is optimized to avoid conflicts with the first routine. The framework is automatically updated while the second routine is maintained with no changes. The merchant website data is then transmitted with the updated first routine and the account security element with the second routine, where the updated first routine and the second routine facilitate data security on the client device without framework conflicts when the updated first routine for the function and the second routine for the function operate concurrently on the client device.
