Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, service, and computer program product for identifying incorrect domain name to IP address mappings. The method comprises: providing a domain name and a valid IP address for the domain name to a plurality of nodes; and at each node: performing a local domain name system (DNS) lookup for the domain name; determining if an IP address returned by the local DNS lookup comprises the valid IP address for the domain name; and providing a notification that an invalid IP address was returned for the domain name if the IP address returned by the local DNS lookup does not comprise the valid IP address for the domain name.

Abstract: An intermediary or intermediaries are provided to allow a service requestor to communicate with a service provider according to a service requirement or service policy set forth by the service provider which the service requester is unable to meet directly. To this end, the service requestor determines whether it can communicate with the service provider according to the service requirement. If the service requestor is unable to satisfy the service requirement, but does have some property which is translatable, then the service requestor finds an intermediary that can translate the service requestor's property in order to satisfy the service provider's service requirement. Once the intermediary is found, the service requestor requests translation of its property to satisfy the service provider's service requirement. Thus, the service requestor receives service from the service provider while adhering to the service provider's service policy.

In this regard, the routing policy selector further can include a coupling to the routing policies and the data store of cache metrics.

Abstract: The present invention is a system, method and apparatus for selecting a cache memory allocation to provide an optimized target cache hit rate in a caching component of a content delivery system. The method of the invention can include identifying a current cache size and a contemporaneously experienced trace footprint. A hit rate produced in response to the current cache size and the contemporaneously experienced trace footprint can be determined and a Zipf alpha coefficient can be computed for the current cache size, trace footprint and hit rate. An optimal hit rate can be selected and an optimal cache size for the Zipf alpha coefficient, trace footprint and optimal hit rate can be computed in consequence. Once the optimal cache size has been computed, the cache memory allocation can be modified based upon the optimal cache size.

Abstract: A method for the autonomic management of autonomic systems can include monitoring a managed system and recommending a course of action to be performed in the managed system. It can be determined whether the recommended course of action has been performed by an administrator. Responsive to the determination, it further can be determined whether an outcome from the course of action comports with a predicted outcome. If so, a point count can be changed responsive to a further determination that the outcome from the course of action comports with the predicted outcome. Conversely, the point count can be oppositely changed responsive to a further determination that the outcome from the course of action does not comports with the predicted outcome. In any case, when the point count crosses a threshold value, the management of the managed system can be transitioned to an adaptive component.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business whereby document components are secured or controlled using “security containers” which encapsulate the components (and other component metadata). A “security container” encapsulates the component (i.e., content) that is to be controlled within a higher-level construct such as a compound document. The security container also contains rules for interacting with the encapsulated component, and one or more encryption keys usable for decrypting the component and rules for authorized requesters.

Abstract: Under the present invention, one or more isolation zones are defined. Each isolation zone includes one or more computer programs grouped together, and can be defined manually by a user/administrator or automatically based on historical behavior. Once the isolation zone(s) are defined, a security prompt is displayed whenever an attempt is made to insert content across an isolation zone boundary. The security prompt can request confirmation by the user, or it can request a security credential before allowing the attempted content insertion.

Abstract: An autonomic system for diagnosing and correcting error conditions among interrelated components and resources.
