Publication number: 20110249828Abstract: A method for protecting a data entry device from eavesdropping includes masking a signature of entry resulting from entry of data by a user of the data entry device so as to reduce the detectability of the signature by eavesdropping. The signature may include a temperature differential in the data entry device from data entry by the user and the masking may include controlling the external temperature of the data entry device to reduce temperature differentials left in the data entry device by the user. Alternatively, the signature may include sound waves emitted from the data entry device and the masking may include masking sound waves emitted from the data entry device to reduce the detectability of the sound waves. A system may also be employed for protecting data entry to a data entry device from eavesdropping.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2011Publication date: October 13, 2011Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Bruce Dickson, David Louis Kaminsky, Marcia Lambert Peters

Patent number: 7844561Abstract: A context-sensitive pre-evaluation analysis of a set of rules is performed based on the circumstance or the current state of a rule clause directed to an infrequently changing condition. A group of multiple-clause rules are identified which each have a clause defining an infrequently changing condition for evaluating a state of a resource. The current state of the resource is monitored. If the identified group of multiple-clause rules, which cannot evaluate as TRUE under the context of the current state the resource, the identified group of multiple-clause rules are excluded from consideration by the rules engine. The rules engine will then encounter fewer rules to evaluate for a solution. The identified group of multiple-clause rules is further analyzed in the context of the infrequently changing condition for the current resource state. State metrics that are defined by clauses of the identified multiple-clause rules, those that cannot evaluate as TRUE, are identified.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2008Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Louis Kaminsky, John Michael Lake

Patent number: 7689872Abstract: An autonomic system for diagnosing and correcting error conditions among interrelated components and resources. The system can include one or more commonly formatted log files utilizing standardized naming conventions for the interrelated components and resources. Each of the commonly formatted log files can include an association with one of the interrelated components and resources. An autonomic system administrator can be coupled to each of the interrelated components and resources and can be configured to parse the log files to identify both error conditions arising in associated ones of the interrelated components and resources, and also dependent ones of the interrelated components and resources giving rise to the identified error conditions.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ronald P.

Publication number: 20090063672Abstract: In a typical computer network, at least some of the managed resources are monitored to determine whether those resources are meeting predetermined performance goals or service level objectives. To simplify the process of configuring a network monitor, information about the service level objectives is loaded into the resource itself. When the resource is detected, the service level objective information is extracted from the resource information and made available to a translating engine. The translating engine converts the extracted information to monitoring directions that are used to configure the network monitor. Embodiments in which new resources are detected either buying a registration process or a polling process are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: David Louis Kaminsky, John Michael Lake

Patent number: 7461166Abstract: A method for routing service requests to service instances in a service providing infrastructure is disclosed. A service request is received. Computing resource vectots for at least two service hosts are computed, and each of the service hosts have a corresponding service providing infrastructure. A resource model for the service request is retrieved. The retrieved resource model are matched to each of the resource vectors to identify a best-fit resource vector. The service request is routed to a selected service host associated with the identified best-fit resource vector. Processing of received service requests is monitored. Individual resource components in the service hosts which are consumed during the processing are identified. Resource models for the service requests are produced based upon the identified individual resource components in the service hosts. A time series model is computed for each of the service requests based upon the identified individual resource components.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2003Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ronald P.

Publication number: 20080177648Abstract: A composite application may be assembled from one or more component services, and at least one component service of the composite application is monitored. A determination is made of a probability of breach for each monitored component service of the composite application and an economic metric of the composite application is computed based upon each determined probability of breach. The economic metric may also consider and expected warranty cost provided to a requestor of the composite application. At least one parameter associated with the composite application or monitored services is then adjusted to maximize overall composite application performance based upon the economic metric.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2007Publication date: July 24, 2008Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ronald Patrick Doyle, David Louis Kaminsky
