Abstract: A method and system for correlating out interactions, which occur due to one or a set of specific events, of an application, which is deployed in multiple adjacent tiers in an actual environment is described. First, a simulation environment corresponding to the actual environment is created. Then, specific events are led to the actual environment and the simulation environment. A pattern(s) of interactions, which are related with the specific events, between adjacent tiers in the simulation environment and a large number of interactions between adjacent tiers in the actual environment are obtained. Afterwards, interactions, which are related with the specific events, between adjacent tiers among the obtained interactions between adjacent tiers in the actual environment are correlated using a template of the obtained pattern(s) of interactions, which are related with the specific events, between adjacent tiers in the simulation environment as a template.

Abstract: A method and systems for providing and processing images of a virtual world scene. The method includes: rendering the scene of the virtual world to generate a plurality of rendering results, generating at least one image stream based on at least part of the plurality of rendering results, and sending the at least one image stream to the client. The system for providing the images includes: rendering means to generate a plurality of rendering results; image stream generation means for generating at least one image stream; and sending means for sending said at least one image stream to a client. After providing the images, the images are processed by receiving means for receiving, at a client, two image streams and merging means for merging the two image streams into a single image stream for playing.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reducing the loading time of a web page. In one embodiment, the apparatus, system, and method comprise requesting a web page from a web server, wherein requesting a web page from a web server comprises sending a browser parameter comprising an indicator to the web server, the indicator indicating that a browser is capable of receiving an archive. The present invention may further comprise receiving one or more archives from the web server, the one or more archives each comprising a plurality of archivable objects referenced by the web page, and rendering the web page using the plurality of archivable objects from the one or more archives.

Abstract: A system, method and program enabling users to diagnose applications easily without affecting the operating performance of the application server, optimizing the log mechanism based on the integrated development environment. The method includes running the application in a main running environment and at least one shadow environment, the shadow environment obtained by duplicating the main running environment; and the main running environment interacting with the shadow environment with respect to the fault of the application. The method includes performing the steps of the main running environment: monitoring the exceptions in the system and sending system exception information to the shadow environment in the event of finding exceptions in the system. The shadow environment: receives the system exception information, opens diagnostic log/trace functions to obtain diagnosis log/trace files related to the system exceptions, and analyzes the diagnosis result based on the obtained diagnosis log/trace files.

Abstract: A method for controlling display of a web page on the client, the contents in said web page being assigned different priorities, includes sending an access request for the web page from the client to the server; in response to said access request, the server sending controllers for implementing prioritization of said contents in the web page to the client, and the controllers retrieving the web page contents the server according to the priority order thereof for display. With the system and method, it is possible to prioritize different contents in a web page and to ensure contents with higher priority are downloaded and displayed earlier than those with lower priority, and thereby avoiding the disadvantage of multi-thread parallel download in the prior art.
