Patent number: 8032623Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for providing context-based dynamic policy assignment in a distributed processing environment. The system includes a first resource management host in communication with a client system, an application executable by the first resource management host, a dynamic policy assignment system executing on the first resource management host, policies stored on the first resource management host and an application profile associated with the client system. The application profile is received by the first resource management host. Application hosting services include executing the application on behalf of the client system. The dynamic policy assignment system receives the request, and based upon a task name associated with the application profile, selects at least one policy for an application instance.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2009Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Logan M. Colby, Jeffrey A. Frey, Robert H. High, Christopher P. Vignola

Patent number: 8010683Abstract: A method for augmenting a hierarchy of layered applications and corresponding protocols can include applying a discrimination algorithm to a selection process in which a particular application/protocol layer in a listing of adjacent application/protocol layers is selected to receive traffic flowing through the hierarchy. A new application/protocol layer is inserted adjacent to the particular application/protocol layer in the hierarchy. Also, a new application/protocol layer is added to the listing, and the discrimination algorithm is replaced with another discrimination algorithm programmed to consider the new application/protocol layer during the selection process. Each of the steps of performing the inserting, adding and replacing steps are performed without decoupling or disabling other applications and protocols in the hierarchy.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik J. Burckart, Stephen M. Fontes, Robert H. High, Craig A. Lanzen, William T. Newport, James L. Van Oosten

Patent number: 7472195Abstract: In a hierarchy of layered applications and corresponding protocols, a port and protocol sharing method is disclosed. Traffic is received over a single shared logical port, and the traffic is routed to an interlayer communications process disposed between two layers in the hierarchy. A discrimination algorithm is applied to select a particular application/protocol layer in a higher one of the two layers to which the traffic is to be routed. The traffic is routed to the selected particular application/protocol layer. An additional application/protocol layer is added to the hierarchy. The discrimination algorithm is replaced with another discrimination algorithm program to consider the additional application/protocol layer during the selection process. The additional application/protocol layer is considered in the selecting step. When selected, the traffic is routed to the additional application/protocol layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2003Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik J.

Patent number: 7349966Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for providing context-based dynamic policy assignment in a distributed processing environment. The system comprises: a first resource management host in communication with a client system via a distributed network architecture; at least one application executable by the first resource management host; a dynamic policy assignment system executing on the first resource management host; a plurality of policies stored on the first resource management host; and an application profile associated with the client system. The application profile is received by the first resource management host to receive application hosting services. The application hosting services include executing the application on behalf of the client system.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Logan M.

Patent number: 6898717Abstract: A method and implementing computer system are provided in which a Quality Of Protection (QOP) indication is established in a tagged component for servers in a network domain. Each server may have one QOP setting associated with the server for inbound messages and another QOP setting associated with the server for outbound messages. In an exemplary embodiment, the QOP settings are contained in a list which may be updated to include additional QOPs which the server may be equipped to support.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2000Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Alexander Buslawski, David Yu Chang, Robert H.
