Abstract: An in-vehicle device is configured to access a cloud via a communication unit, and includes: a controller that includes at least one physical core; a first unit configured to be operated by the controller and control a sensor to generate detection data; and a second unit configured to be operated by the controller and execute a process based on the detection data.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller includes at least one physical core for executing a first unit related to control of hardware and a second unit related to provision of a service. The second controller starts the first controller in response to occurrence of a start trigger. The first controller starts the first unit, and then starts the second unit when the first controller is started by the second controller. The first unit and the second unit are restarted when an abnormality of the first unit is detected by the second controller or an abnormality of the second unit is detected by the first unit. The first unit, the second unit and the second controller are restarted when an abnormality of the second controller is detected by the second controller.

Abstract: In a storage session management system in a storage area network, the session information blocks periodically collected from the storage devices in the network are grouped based on the information indicating the relation between sessions. That is, since a storage session management server in the management system integrally manages constitution information and operation information, when there is a possibility that circumstances such as a failure and the deterioration of performance occur in information devices, a failure notification module displays such circumstances and makes notification of them to a minimum necessary range that is consolidated by a session consolidation module, thereby a storage session can be managed without applying loads on the respective information devices and the network.

Abstract: An integrated database system comprises a plurality of database systems connected to one another through a network, each of the plurality of database systems managing its own stored data independently of the other database systems and accessing the stored data in accordance with an access request, and an integrated database unit connected to the network. The integrated database unit includes a directory database which stores a correspondence between each of the data stored in the plurality of database systems and a database system in which each of the data is stored, a directory control unit which acquires, by using the directory database, directory information corresponding to target data of the accepted access request, a database identifying unit which identifies a database system, and a database control unit which issues, on the basis of the acquired directory information, an access request to the database system having the target data of the accepted access request.

Abstract: The invention relates to a network management method wherein: a service management equipment holds the mapping of services and virtual networks as management information; a managed server sends an advice to a VLAN management equipment when its status changes; and the VLAN management equipment receives the advice and refers to the information contained in the advice to thereby identify the managed server and the connection port of a network switch, and configures a virtual network belonging to the identified port of the network switch. The method alleviates the task of reconfiguration associated with the adding or deleting of servers.
