  • Publication number: 20110161868
    Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a user action directed at a first windowed application that is executing in a windowing operating system. The first windowed application is displayed on a display using a first set of display attributes. In response to receiving the user action, user preferences are retrieved that correspond to the first windowed application. The user preferences reference a second windowed application that runs in the windowed operating system. The second windowed application is displayed on the display using a second set of display attributes. One or more actions corresponding to the second windowed application are identified based on the retrieved user preferences. These identified actions are executed on the second windowed application and result in a change to the second set of display attributes which causes in a change in an appearance of the second windowed application.

  • Patent number: 7941538
    Abstract: In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a computer implemented method for dynamic management of resource utilization is provided. The computer implemented method monitors data flows of a reverse proxy web server, and determines whether a resource utilization of the reverse proxy web server exceeds a first threshold. The computer implemented method further, responsive to a determination that the resource utilization does not exceed a first threshold, determines whether the resource utilization exceeds a second threshold, responsive to a determination that the resource utilization does exceed a second threshold, filters pre-fetch directives inversely by frequency.
