  • Publication number: 20230409419
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for automatic processing of computer logging events may be provided. In one embodiment, the process comprises determining an application priority model relating to a plurality of computer applications being executed on a device. A usage pattern model is also determined by monitoring utilization of the plurality of applications based on usage of the applications by a priority of users. A log flow control policy is also determined using logging information. All determined models also use a set of metrics to derive a log flow rules. These rules are used to manage log flow control policies when processing a plurality of logs.

  • Patent number: 7472399
    Abstract: A method and system for a client invoking on an interface defined in a first notation to invoke an object having an interface defined in a second notation is disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises the steps of: automatically generating an intermediate object that receives a first message from a first object; the message representing at least one data structure; the at least one data structure comprising at least one dynamic data type; the intermediate object converting the representation of the at least one data structure and at least one data type into a representation of at least one statically defined data structure; the intermediate object sending a second message to a second object; the second message comprising the representation of the at least one statically defined data structure. In one preferred embodiment, the method and system facilitate communication between CORBA and Java EJB objects.

  • Publication number: 20060206525
    Abstract: A communication system is introduced to integrate middleware having in-ports, out-ports, a configurator, and intermediary elements. The configurable in-ports and out-ports are used to facilitate communication with specific middleware among a set of middleware. A configurator configures in-ports and out-ports corresponding to specific middleware, wherein each in-port and each out-port is configured based on a binding and a transport. The configured in-ports, the configured out-ports, and the intermediary elements form one or more paths over which data is moved, with each of the intermediary elements performing any of, or a combination of, the following: propagation of transaction information, transformation of data, load balancing, fault tolerance, session management, orchestration, security, or control of transaction boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20060200515
    Abstract: A system and method is introduced that integrates middleware components without canonicalization of data at runtime. An interface receives inputs identifying at least a first and second middleware to be made interoperative and a configurator configures at least an in-port and an out-port based on a binding and transport associated with the first and second middleware, respectively. Interoperation of the first and second middleware is effected via at least one communication path between the configured in-port and out-port, wherein the communication path allows an incoming message to pass from the in-port corresponding to said first middleware to the out-port corresponding to the second middleware without the creation of an intermediate canonical message.
