Abstract: For example, a wireless communication device may be configured to determine a Concurrent Multiple Band (CMB) routing scheme based on Quality of Service (QoS) requirement information and network condition information, the CMB routing scheme to route a plurality of application streams to a plurality of radios of the wireless communication device for wireless communication over a plurality of wireless communication bands, the plurality of application streams corresponding to one or more applications to be executed by the wireless communication device; and to route the plurality of application streams to the plurality of radios by determining, based on the CMB routing scheme, to which radio of the plurality of radios to route the application stream of the plurality of application streams.

Abstract: An SMS-based dual mode content subscription system is disclosed. A first broadcast message associated with a subscription content source is received. A set of destination SMS addresses is determined, each destination SMS address associated with a different subscription to the subscription content source and corresponding to a different mobile device. An SMS message that includes the first broadcast message is sent to each destination SMS address, the SMS message identifying a same first sender SMS address. A reply SMS message is received from a first mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices, the reply SMS message being directed to the first sender SMS address and not being distributed to any other mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices. In response to the reply SMS message, a second SMS message that includes a first subscriber message is sent to only the first mobile device.

Abstract: A method of analyzing traffic by a system includes receiving sequential location measurements from users of the system, mapping the received sequential location measurements to a digital map and determining traffic information for a first time period based on mapped sequential location measurements corresponding to the first time period. A system may include a database configured to store sequential location measurements received from users of the system and a processor configured to extract sequential location measurements from the database and determine traffic information for a first period based on the extracted sequential location measurements. The sequential location measurements include periodic times and associated coordinates.

Abstract: An article articulating two different points of view is provided to a reader, with each point of view associated with a respective hashtag. Social media streams associated with social media outlets are also collected and analyzed to identify occurrences of the hashtags in the social media streams, and to collect and analyze information relating to those occurrences. Scoring parameter values are assigned to each occurrence, with each scoring parameter value based on the related information, such as an identity of a notable social media user associated with the occurrence. A weighted score value is generated based on the scoring parameter values for each hashtag, and the weighted score value is presented to the reader of the article in real time. Additional visual information, such as trend lines, identities of notable social media users associated with certain occurrences, and other information may also be provided to the reader in real time.

Abstract: Merit-based anonymous content distribution. A computing device receives from a first client computing device associated with a first user, a request for a post of a plurality of posts. The computing device randomly selects a first post of the plurality of posts. The first post is provided to the first client computing device for presentation to the first user. A designation that ranks the first post is received from the first client computing device. It is subsequently determined to distribute the first post or inhibit distribution of the first post based in part on the designation.

Abstract: A method for customizing virtual machines includes retrieving a virtual machine image file from a library of virtual machine image files. A target virtual machine image file is created by making a copy of the retrieved virtual machine image file. A file size of the target virtual machine image file is increased. A partition size of a primary partition of the target virtual machine image file is increases. The target virtual machine image file is booted after the partition size of the primary partition thereof has been increased.

Abstract: Techniques for modeling a composite application are provided. The techniques include identifying one or more entities that are processed in a user enterprise, identifying one or more actions to be performed during a lifecycle of the one or more entities, and modeling a composite application based on the one or more actions to be performed during a lifecycle of the one or more entities.

Abstract: An enterprise system includes a plurality of artifacts (e.g., persons, objects, databases, autonomous elements, intelligent agents, information systems, etc), and a smart distance (e.g., a distance which may optimize the performance of the enterprise system) between the plurality of artifacts.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of providing workflows (400-404) to the operators of network management systems (114) and subsystems (202-208) is disclosed. The method identifies a plurality of tasks (210-228) that can be accomplished by at least one of the subsystem accessible for the workflows and groups the tasks into a plurality of roles (302-308) wherein each role includes at least one task to be performed. The roles are grouped into the workflows according to the roles needed to address an alarm condition. The workflow can be provided to an operator with a user interface (600).

Abstract: A system and method are described for using a Component Business Model (CBM) to transform a business. A CBM map is used to identify components that collaborate to provide a specified capability, and a repository supporting the CBM map is filtered to provide a view of the identified components that highlights how they collaborate. The view is used to identify component features contributing to the specified capability. The specified capability is then enhanced by a transformation strategy that includes re-engineering particular components, identifying a pattern characterizing the collaboration between components and adding a component to perform the collaborative pattern, and/or adding an additional feature to the collaboration and adding component to perform the additional feature. The CBM repository provides exemplar best practices that can be adapted for use in a re-engineered component.

Abstract: A method and system are described for using the structure and relationships between components in a component business model of an enterprise to assign components providing monitoring data to a management component. In response to the monitoring data, the management component executes a business rule invoking a service that alters a behavior of the enterprise. The management component contains data rules limiting the information provided by the assigned components, analysis rules defining the interaction between components, and report rules for consolidating recommendations for altering behavior of the enterprise, including decisions to invest in certain aspects of the business, to reengineer certain processes of the business, and to alter operation of certain aspects of the business.
