  • Publication number: 20140351414
    Abstract: Dynamic monitoring of an element in a network is provided by predicting whether a resource threshold crossing, such as load-based level, is likely to be exceeded within a certain time period. If the level is likely to be exceeded shortly, the monitoring rate of the element for a given time period may be increased. Conversely, if the level is unlikely to be exceeded in the near term, the monitoring rate may be decreased.

  • Patent number: 8595799
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media with executable instructions stored thereon for managing access authorization to hardware and data resources. A method includes defining a property of a hardware and/or data resource. This example method further includes defining a role such that each defined role can be applied to different users without modification, defining a security domain for the property of the resource in the context of a user-role assignment and assigning a role to a user in a context of the defined security domain.
