Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for transformation of inconsistent environmental data, environmental data is received from a plurality of data sources, wherein each data source of the plurality of data sources is associated with a geographic region and maintains the environmental data using at least one data format of a plurality of disparate data formats, such that the environmental data is received in the plurality of disparate data formats. The environmental data is transformed from the plurality of disparate data formats into a consistent data format, such that the transformed environmental data is in a standardized format capable of direct comparison and analysis. The transformed environmental data is stored in a database configured to receive and perform searches on the transformed environmental data.

Abstract: Mobile network services are performed in a mobile data network in a way that is transparent to most of the existing equipment in the mobile data network. The mobile data network includes a radio access network and a core network. A first service mechanism in the radio access network breaks out data coming from a basestation, and performs one or more mobile network services at the edge of the mobile data network based on the broken out data. These services may include caching of data, data or video compression techniques, push-based services, charging, application serving, analytics, security, data filtering, and new revenue-producing services, as well as others. This architecture allows performing new mobile network services at the edge of a mobile data network within the infrastructure of an existing mobile data network.

Abstract: A system includes a testing device to test a computer application in conjunction with a testing tool, the testing device including a test automation engine to initiate a test, the test automation engine including a programmable data source that is testing tool universal, the programmable data source including one or more automation test scripts that define the test and a data storage device to store results from testing the computer application.

Abstract: A flow control method and system including an algorithm for deciding to transmit an arriving packet into a processing queue or to discard it, or, in the case of instructions or packets that must not be discarded, a similar method and system for deciding at a service event to transmit an instruction or packet into a processing queue or to skip the service event. The transmit probability is increased or decreased in consideration of minimum and maximum limits for each flow, aggregate limits for sets of flows, relative priority among flows, queue occupancy, and rate of change of queue occupancy. The effects include protection of flows below their minimum rates, correction of flows above their maximum rates, and, for flows between minimum and maximum rates, reduction of constituent flows of an aggregate that is above its aggregate maximum. Practice of the invention results in low queue occupancy during steady congestion.

Abstract: A detection and response system that generates an Alert if unauthorized scanning is detected on a computer network that includes a look-up table to record state value corresponding to the sequence in which SYN, SYN/ACK and RST packets are observed. A set of algorithms executed on a processing engine adjusts the state value in response to observing the packets. When the state value reaches a predetermined value indicating that all three packets have been seen, the algorithm generates an Alert.

Abstract: A process control method and system including partitioning transmit decisions and certain measurements into one logical entity (Data Plane) and partitioning algorithm computation to update transmit probabilities into a second logical entity (Control Plane), the two entities periodically communicating fresh measurements from Data Plane to Control Plane and adjusted transmit probabilities from Control Plane to Data Plane. The transmit probability may be used in transmit/discard decisions of packets or instructions exercised at every arrival of a packet or instruction. In an alternative embodiment, the transmit probability may be used in transmit/delay decisions of awaiting instructions or packets exercised at every service event.
