Patent number: 9787791Abstract: A processor-implemented method manages a data cache for a computer system. One or more processors maintain a cache for one or more data resources requested by a client process. In response to a request from the client process for a cached data resource, the processors send a first request to a server process for the data resource, and a second request to the server process for an indication of whether or not the data resource has been modified since the data source was most recently cached. Responses to the first or second requests from the server process are compared with the cached data resources so as to identify whether the response to the second request is inaccurate. One or more processors disable caching for the data resource in response to a predetermined number of inaccurate second requests associated with the data resource being identified.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2013Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Malolan Chetlur, Stuart J. Hayton, Zygmunt A. Lozinski, Susan P. Paice

Patent number: 7212623Abstract: A method of communication among telephony services using an event context cache can include, in a messaging telephony service, receiving a telephony event from a node in the public switched telephony network specifying a called directory number, a calling directory number, and service context data. The service context data can be stored as an entry within the event context cache. The event context cache can be accessible by at least one other telephony service. The entry can be associated with a key for the event context cache. The key can be specified by the called directory number and the calling directory number.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2002Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas E.

Patent number: 7167917Abstract: A method for visually generating a service component can include specifying at least one service building block, wherein the specification includes visually selecting a plurality of event handlers for inclusion in the at least one service building block. The method can also include exporting the at least one service building block. The exporting step can produce a deployment descriptor which describes events for which the at least one service building block has been configured to handle. The at least one service block can be visually arranged, wherein the arrangement can form the service component. Finally, the service component produced by the visual arrangement can be configured for insertion in a SLEE in an advanced intelligent network. Notably, in one aspect of the method, the method can further include the step of encapsulating the service component in a service application container.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2002Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas E.
