  • Method and system for reducing message passing for contention detection in distributed SIP server environments
    Patent number: 8977730
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for reducing message passing for contention detection in distributed SIP server environments. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to determine that a first site is waiting for a first object locked by a second site. The programming instructions are further operable to determine that a third site is waiting for a second object locked by the first site, and to send a first probe to the second site to determine whether the second site is waiting. A second probe is received and indicates that a site is waiting for an object locked by the first site. The second probe further indicates a deadlock in a distributed server environment to be resolved.

  • System and method for accessing really simple syndication (RSS) enabled content using session initiation protocol (SIP) signaling
    Patent number: 8949854
    Abstract: A system and associated method for subscribing Really Simple Syndication (RSS) enabled content using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) are disclosed. An application server coupled to a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server in the Internet intermediates a SIP message and a request for a RSS feed. An end device requests subscription of the RSS feed in a SIP message. The HTTP server enables the application server to subscribe the RSS feed and to track changes in the RSS feed over the Internet by use of a Serving Call/Session Control Function (S-CSCF) servicing the SIP message. The HTTP server enables the end device subscribing the RSS feed to fetch the web content from the media cache in later part of the subscription by providing updates to the application server.

  • OPTIMAL PERSISTENCE OF A BUSINESS PROCESS
    Publication number: 20150032678
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide for automatically selecting optimal fetch settings for business processes as a function of database query load and relational context by monitoring usage of a data retrieval point with respect to a defined unit of work. A multilayer feed-forward neural network is used to predict, as a function of training sets composed of historical data generated by the monitored usage of the data retrieval point, a future value of a data size of results from an eager fetch setting for the data retrieval point. The eager fetch is automatically revised to a lazy fetch setting in response to determining that the future data size value of the eager fetch setting results is larger than a permissible memory resource threshold.
