摘要:
A system, method and computer program product for monitoring availability of end user devices needed for performing tasks. The system comprises a first network including one or more devices associated with an end user, at least one device adapted for communicating with a service provider over a second network, the service provider providing network-based services in the system. The system includes a memory storage device for maintaining information of tasks associated with an end user, the information including recommended end-user devices adapted to perform the tasks, the information being accessible to at least one end-user device. At least one end-user device detects non-availability or performance deficiencies of any end-user device required in performing end-user tasks, and communicates with the service provider for invoking network-based services to facilitate correcting non-availability of any end-user device. Such a system, method and computer program product enables students to receive these reminders and alerts, to order the necessary upgrades from suppliers via web services, and to monitor delivery from a single user interface provided on one of their devices.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, determine that a second e-mail is associated with a first e-mail and that one of the recipients of the first e-mail was a blind-copy recipient, and, in response, send the second e-mail to the blind-copy recipient of the first e-mail. In various embodiments, the second e-mail may be a reply to or a forward of the first e-mail. In an embodiment, the second e-mail has an encrypted portion, which includes an identifications of the blind-copy recipient, the sender of the first e-mail, and the other recipients of the first e-mail. The blind-copy recipient of the first e-mail is not identified in the first e-mail to the other recipients of the first e-mail. In this way, blind-copy recipients of e-mails may be notified of further associated e-mails.

The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for caching dynamically generated queries such as SQL (Structured Query Language) statements. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises: providing a partial update query for updating at least one column in a table stored in a database; generating a key using a number representative of an update status of each column in the table; and determining if a prepared statement corresponding to the partial update query is located in a prepared statement cache using the key.

A system and method includes steps, or acts, of: defining one or more events to provide a unified specification; registering one or more events to be detected; detecting an occurrence of at least one of the registered event or events; generating a monitoring entry each time one of the registered events is detected; and entering each of the monitoring entries generated into a single logical entity. The method can also be implemented as machine executable instructions executed by a programmable information processing system or as hard coded logic in a specialized computing apparatus such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Systems, especially operating systems, are becoming more complex to the point where maintaining them by humans is becoming nearly impossible. Many corporations have recognized this trend and have begun investing in autonomic technology. Autonomic technology allows a piece of software to monitor, diagnose, and repair itself. This can be used for improved performance, reliability, maintainability, security, etc. Disclosed herein is a mechanism to allow operating systems to hot swap a piece of operating system code, while continuing to offer to the user the service which that code is providing. This can be used, for examples, to increase the performance of an application or to fix a detected security hole live without bringing the machine down. Some autonomic ability will be mandatory in next generation operating system for without it they will collapse under their own complexity. The invention offers a key component of being able to achieve autonomic computing.

In some embodiments, a method comprises hosting a virtual universe in which one or more avatars interact with one or more virtual objects. The method can also include presenting energy conservation options that reduce amounts of power consumed in rendering the avatars and virtual objects in the virtual universe, detecting a selection of the energy conservation options, and configuring logic for rendering the avatars and virtual objects according to the selected energy conservation options. The method can also comprise rendering, according to the selection of energy conservation options, the avatars and virtual objects in the virtual universe.

In an embodiment, a first debug agent at a first computer receives a packet. The first debug agent adds a debug command and an identifier of the first debug agent to the packet and sends the packet to a receiving computer. A second debug agent at the receiving computer removes the debug command and the identifier of the first debug agent from the packet and sends the packet to a second program that executes at the receiving computer. The second debug agent further executes the debug command, which causes the second program that executes on the receiving computer to halt execution at a breakpoint or address watch memory location. The second debug agent sends the state of the second program to the first debug agent, which presents, at the first computer, the state and a listing of the second program.

Real world energy usage can be reduced using a virtual environment. A virtual universe energy conservation system (“system”) can determine comprehensive energy usage at a physical site where a client accessing a virtual universe is located. The system can determine that the comprehensive energy usage at the physical site exceeds an energy usage threshold. The system can also notify a virtual universe user account associated with the client that the comprehensive energy usage at the physical site exceeds the energy usage threshold.
摘要:
In an embodiment, a request is received that is directed to a page. A determination is made whether a session associated with the request already exists by determining whether the request is dependent on a previous request. If the session does not already exist, then a decision is made whether the request will result in creating a session. If the request will result in creation of a session, then a server is selected based on a load-balancing metric instance associated with the page, and the request is sent to the selected server. The load-balancing metric instance has an algorithm and an input parameter to the algorithm. The server is selected by executing the algorithm and selecting the server identified by an output parameter from the algorithm.
