Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a mesh assembly. A specification of a system having first and second objects is received. The specification includes, for each of the first and second objects, geometric data for the object and mesh data comprising settings for creating a mesh representation of the object. The first object is associated with a first mesh, and the second object is associated with a second mesh. The associating includes, for each of the first and second objects, determining whether a mesh with geometric data and mesh data corresponding to that of the object has been previously generated. If the mesh has been previously generated, the object is associated with the mesh, and if the mesh has not been previously generated, the object is meshed to generate a new mesh that is associated with the object. A mesh assembly including the first and second meshes is generated.

Abstract: In a system for facilitating mesh generation corresponding to a volumetric, prismatic object, generalized polyhedrons representing at least a portion of a layer of the volumetric object are transformed into a set of convex polyhedrons based on, at least in part, the prismatic properties of the volumetric object. The convex polyhedrons corresponding to a layer are decomposed into a set of tetrahedrons by accounting for an intersecting and/or overlapping edge of a polyhedron in an adjacent layer, so that the set of tetrahedrons automatically, i.e., without having to enforce any continuity requirements after tetrahedron generation, forms a mesh of that is continuous with tetrahedrons corresponding to the adjacent layer.

Abstract: A method for Internet delivery in a delivery network established at network locations, the delivery network comprising a plurality of content servers for serving resources. The servers include a plurality of subsets, each subset being located at one of a plurality of Internet data centers. For each Internet Protocol (IP) address block from which requests for content resources are expected to be received, the method generates a candidate list of data centers to be used to service the requests. For the IP address block, the method selects at least one of the data centers from the candidate list. The selected Internet data center for the IP address block is written into a network map. In response to a DNS query, the map is used to identify one of the Internet data centers from the candidate list to be used to service a request for a content resource.

Abstract: The present systems and methods relate to frameworks for identifying persons of interest identified through datasets collected from law-enforcement agencies, financial institutions, or other public resources. The present systems represent network data regarding individuals and explicit connections between them as a network graph. The present systems determine a statistical model representing the network graph, the statistical model generating hidden parameters for decomposing and projecting the network graph onto a space of baseline communities.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detection and/or prevention of network attacks can include the use of multiple and/or time-dependent addresses coupled with filtering by the directory or naming service. The directory service can respond to requests for the address of a resource by returning an address that can be relocated over time by coordinating the directory service entry with the host and network address configuration data and/or by returning an address specific to the requestor. Thus, the directory service can track and build profiles of matches between requestors and accesses. The methods and systems can use the time dependent addresses and profiles to distinguish legitimate accesses from unauthorized or malicious ones. Requests for non-valid addresses can be misdirected to “empty” addresses or to detection devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, program code is added to a social network's web pages or site such that the content a first user accesses is locally stored at the first user's system. When another user, who is a friend of the first user, as defined by the social networking site, browses to that same content, the program code fetches it from the first user, instead of directly from the social networking site. The content is thus directly exchanged between the users without a transaction at the website. The present invention leverages the storage and bandwidth resources of social networking users to help serve content.

Abstract: A routing mechanism operable in a distributed networking environment, such as a content delivery network (CDN), provides improved connectivity back to an origin server, especially for HTTP traffic. The technique enables an edge server operating within a given edge region to retrieve content (cacheable, non-cacheable and the like) from an origin server more efficiently by selectively routing through the network's own nodes, thereby avoiding network congestion and hot spots. The technique enables an edge server to fetch content from an origin server through an intermediate edge server or, more generally, enables an edge server within a given first region to fetch content from the origin server through an intermediate edge region.

Abstract: The method comprises modelling a delay-tolerant dynamic network comprising time-varying links transforming it into a static time-expanded network graph, and managing bulk data transfer on the basis of said static time-expanded network graph. The device comprises a scheduler unit with processing capabilities implementing an algorithm which processes arc costs (cijt) and storage costs (pit) as per the method of the first aspect of the invention.

Abstract: The invention describes a method of providing incentives to users via supporting mechanisms and algorithms for facilitating the move of DT traffic to off-peak hours. It proposes an efficient utilization of the network resources during peak hour under a flat-rate pricing scheme with the cooperation and blessing of the users and without adding complexity to billing.

The plurality of content servers includes a plurality of subsets of content servers, each subject being located at one of a plurality of Internet data centers. For each Internet Protocol (IP) address block from which requests for content resources are expected to be received, the method generates a candidate list of Internet data centers to be used to service the requests for content resources. For the IP address block, the method selects at least one of the Internet data centers from the candidate list to be used to service the requests for content resources. The selected Internet data center for the IP address block is written into a network map.
