Abstract: Embodiments facilitate the efficient handling of service requests by a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure. The platform may comprise a central controller communicating with a plurality of execution agents on one or more hosts. The central controller may parse client requests manipulating application state (e.g., scale, start, stop app, clear) into a sequence of fine-grained instance requests (e.g., start, stop, stop all, clear) that are distributed to the application program interfaces (API) of execution agents on the platform. The central controller may assign a priority to the fine-grained requests. The priority may take into consideration one or more factors including but not limited to: request creator (user, system); operation type (start, stop, stop all, clear); instance number; sequence number of the fine grained request within the original received request; hierarchy level (organization, space); and application.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for monitoring processes running on a platform as a service architecture. One example method includes storing a received sample of monitored attributes of a computer process in a sample memory buffer that includes other stored samples. A determination is made that the sample memory buffer is full. The sample memory buffer is compressed. A starting position in a compressed sample file store at which to store the compressed sample memory buffer is determined. The compressed sample memory buffer is stored at the determined starting position in the compressed sample file store. The starting position of the stored compressed sample memory buffer is stored at a particular location in a file position index. A collection timestamp for the sample in a timestamp index is stored at a timestamp index location that matches the particular location in the file position index.

Abstract: A method for generating a secret or a key in a network, the network including at least one first and one second member and a transmission channel between at least the first and the second members. The first and second members being able to place at least one first value and one second value on the transmission channel. The first member causes a first member value sequence and the second member causes a second member value sequence to be transmitted over the transmission channel largely synchronously with each other. The first member and the second member generate a shared secret or a shared key on the basis of information about the first member value sequence and the second member value sequence and on the basis of an overlap value sequence resulting from the overlap of the first member value sequence with the second member value sequence on the transmission channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a communications method that comprises the step of sending a query message from a central entity to at least one node. For every queried node, the central entity determines a node-specific time window based on a node-specific response time. The central entity filters out a response message, sent from the queried node, from the signals received during this time window. Based on the node-specific time window, the central entity assigns the response message to the queried node. The invention also relates to a computing unit that is configured to operate as a central entity, to a communications system, as well as to a computer program and a computer-readable storage program with said computer program.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for remotely debugging applications in a private cloud environment. One example method includes establishing a first secure connection with a client device in response to receiving a request from the client device for a secure debugging session to remotely debug an application instance running in a private cloud environment. A host that is hosting the application instance is identified. A second secure connection is established with the identified host. A request is submitted, over the second secured connection, to the identified host, to instantiate a debug proxy process. The debug proxy process is configured to establish a secure inter-process communication channel with the application instance and instruct the application instance to run in a debug mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for generating a secret or key in a network having first and second subscribers and a transmission channel therebetween. The first and second subscribers generating first and second sequences of subscriber values to achieve synchronous transmission; and the first and second subscriber each generate a common secret, the first subscriber doing so based on information about the first sequence and a superposition of the second sequence onto the first sequence on the transmission channel, and the second subscriber doing so based on information about the second sequence and the superposition of the second sequence of subscriber values onto the first sequence of subscriber values. At certain intervals or in accordance with a detected sequence of superposed values, the first or second subscriber outputs at least one filler value onto the transmission channel such that an edge change or change in values occurs on the transmission channel.
