Abstract: A method of adding a server to, or removing a server from, a cluster of servers, and of transferring state information. A new server being added sends a message to all existing servers indicating that it is being added, the new server sends a request for state information, the existing servers in the cluster transfer state information to the new server, and the new server sends a commit message to finalize its addition. Acknowledge messages are exchanged during the process. An existing server being removed sends, to the remaining servers, an initiate message, a transfer of state information, and a commit message to finalize the removal, with acknowledge messages exchanged during the process.

Abstract: A distributed method of delivering events to agent devices. A first software module generates an event, e.g., a screen pop event or a ringing event, for delivery to a second module responsible for an agent device. A third module, which may be the same module as the first module, evaluates a hash function to determine an identifier for the second module from an identifier for the agent device. The first module delivers the event to the second module, which responds to the event, e.g., by causing an agent device to generate a ringing alert or to display a screen pop.
