Abstract: A disclosed apparatus is a message relay apparatus. This message relay apparatus includes: a receiver that receives a message to be transferred; a determination unit that determines whether or not the message relay apparatus can afford to perform a conversion processing, when performing the conversion processing for the message; a selection unit that selects another apparatus to which the conversion processing is requested based on stored information representing other apparatuses that can afford to perform the conversion processing, when the message relay apparatus cannot afford to perform the conversion processing; a requesting unit that requests the selected another apparatus to perform the conversion processing for the message, and receives the converted message from the selected another apparatus; and a transmission unit that transmits the received and converted message to a transfer destination.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus makes a plurality of threads concurrently execute tasks stored in a task queue associated with the thread a prescribed number of times of execution. The information processing apparatus includes a processor that executes the plurality of threads that executes a procedure. The procedure includes generating a task from among a plurality of tasks into which a serial program processing corresponding to a processing request is divided, selecting the task queue associated with one of the plurality of threads, enqueuing the generated task to the selected task queue, dequeuing the enqueued task to the task queue associated with the thread, and executing the dequeued task.

Abstract: A data processing device includes a receiving means, a discriminating means, a data retriever determining means, and a transmitting means. The receiving means receives data transmitted from a client computer to one of plural server computers. The discriminating means extracts destination information and source information from the received data. The destination information is information on the one of the plural server computers. The source information is information on the client computer. The data retriever determining means determines a data retriever in accordance with the extracted information. The data retriever searches the one of the plural server computers. The transmitting means transmits the data together with the destination information and the source information to the determined data retriever.

Abstract: A data management method includes acquiring, by a management computer, information of an amount of resource load from a plurality of computers; when a first computer having a higher amount of load than a threshold value is detected in a first area to which a first computer belongs, generating, by the management computer, a second identification range of identifier values by adding a first identification range of a first area to which the detected first computer belongs to a first identification range of a second area different from the first area; calculating, by the first computer, a first target identification of a second computer in the second area corresponding to the first data, based on the first identification ranges and the second identification range, when an operation request for first data is received; and transferring, by the first computer, the operation request for the first data to the second computer.

Abstract: A conversion server stores therein a combination of client information indicating the type of a client terminal and content information that is requested to be sent from the client terminal. Furthermore, the conversion server stores therein server information indicating a conversion server responsible for the format of content in such a manner that the server information is associated with the combination of the client information and the content information. If the conversion server receives, from the client terminal, a send request for content, the conversion server distinguishes between the client information on the client terminal and the content information on the content requested to be sent. The conversion server notifies a conversion server indicated by the server information associated with the combination of the distinguished client information and the distinguished content information of the distinguished client information and the distinguished content information.

Abstract: A relay apparatus generates partial message data by assembling a package group, the packet group including, out of a plurality of packets received and related to one message, a head packet related to the one message up to a packet including, as a payload, user identification information in a header of the one message. The relay apparatus extracts the user identification information from the partial message data and identifying a user identifier from the user identification information. The relay apparatus performs a specific packet process, in accordance with the identified user identifier, on the packet group of the one message, and a packet not assembled by a packet assembling unit out of the plurality of packets.

Abstract: A conversion device receives service data including first connection destination data and the authentication information about an authenticated user, generates second connection destination data for designation of the first connection destination data, then associates the authentication information, the first and second connection destination data with one another, transmits them to a relay device, and transmits to a client the service data in which the first connection destination data is replaced with the second connection destination data; the client transmits the second connection destination data selected by the user to the relay device; the relay device transmits the authentication information to a server indicated by the first connection destination data using the authentication information and the first connection destination data corresponding to the second connection destination data, and transmits the address of the server to the client; and the client communicates with the server using the address
