Abstract: Methods and systems for reconstructing a game world of a video game includes tracking status of game objects in the game world to detect wear on the one or more game objects exceeding a predefined threshold. An option to rebuild the one or more game objects is provided to a user and tools to rebuild the one or more game objects are provide in response to the user selecting the option to rebuild the game objects. The rebuilt game objects are used during subsequent gameplay of the video game.

Abstract: In a method and system for viewer interaction with streaming media, a scene from a media presentation is displayed with a broadcasting device that includes an operating system level broadcaster interface overlay. The overlay generates an image frame from the scene. The image frame is sent to a viewer device. Viewer interaction parameters are received from a viewing device and a viewer interaction is displayed over a subsequent scene from the media presentation with the broadcaster interface overlay. On a viewing device an image frame from the media presentation is received from the broadcasting device. An operating system level viewer interface overlay is generated over the image frame and the image frame of the media presentation is displayed. Viewer interaction parameters are generated from a viewer interaction with the operating system level viewer interface overlay and sent to the broadcasting device.

Abstract: Aspects provide a method of determining a storage location for a data item, including providing first and second data storage locations, the first location having an appreciably faster access speed than the second, the data storage locations are primary storage locations providing persistent storage, accessing a score associated with the data item, the score being calculated based on a frequency of access; and selecting only one of the storage locations based on the score with respect to other data scores, wherein the data item is stored in only one of the storage locations at any time, re-calculating the scores, wherein the score is accessed from a score table of data items; and in response to re-calculating of the scores, causing a change in the selection of the data storage location, removing the data item from a current storage location and adding the data item to a newly selected storage location.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide a solution for determining a storage location for a data item from among a set of persistent storage locations having varying access speeds. Each data item is associated with a score that is based on the frequency with which the data item has been accessed, as well as possible other factors such as open time and/or close time of the data item, the amount of data in the data item, the period from the last time the data item was closed to the next time that the data item is opened and/or the total amount of data in the data item. Data items with high scores relative to other data items are assigned to faster access storage location while data items with lower scores are assigned to slower access storage locations.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically generating a semantically correct user interface (UI) panel for a service request and automatically mapping input data for service-oriented architecture-based system management applications. A document is received that includes semantic annotations specifying semantics of elements of a service request input message. During runtime, a UI panel is generated based on the semantics and by interpreting metadata generated by interpreting hints included in the document. Further, the semantic annotations may include a mapping definition of information technology (IT) resource selections. Based on the mapping definition, the IT resource selections are extracted from a registry and automatically mapped to a UI input element in a UI panel. In response to selecting an IT resource from the UI panel, properties of the selected IT resource are automatically mapped to an element of the service request input message according to the semantic annotations.
