Abstract: A system and method for developing Diameter applications are provided. The system and method extend the application server servlet model to support Diameter applications. A “base protocol” servlet is provided that handles the basic Diameter protocol functionality. Base application servlets are provided for each Diameter interface (for example, an “Sh” base servlet for the IMS “Sh” interface). These servlets are base classes for application code. The base application servlets implement additional semantics on top of the base protocol servlet to support additional attribute-value pair semantics. With the system and method, Diameter servlets share the same ServletContext as HTTP and SIP servlets. This mechanism facilitates communication between the various application entities and facilitates generation of converged applications.

Abstract: A network is provided herein comprising a plurality of network resources, and at least one network cluster having a plurality of cluster members. Each member of the cluster may be configured for utilizing one or more of the network resources and for tracking usage thereof. For example, each member of the cluster may include one or more token buckets for tracking that member's usage of the network resources. At least one member of the cluster (i.e., a “reservation coordinator”) may include a first set of computer-executable instructions for receiving network traffic destined for a particular network resource at a first rate (i.e., a maximum average sustained rate). In addition, the reservation coordinator may include a second set of computer-executable instructions for distributing the first rate among at least a subset of the cluster members. In some cases, each member of the cluster may include a third set of computer-executable instructions for changing how the first rate is distributed among members of the subset. For example, the third set of computer-executable instructions may include instructions for attempting to reserve a substantially larger or smaller portion of the first rate.

Abstract: A network cluster is provided herein having a plurality of cluster members. In order to control the admission of client requests sent to the cluster, one member of the cluster is elected “reservation coordinator.” The reservation coordinator runs a reservation algorithm for controlling the distribution of rate capacity across members of the cluster. For example, each member of the cluster may reserve some amount of rate from the coordinator to allow for passing of client requests. To ensure that each member is provided with the appropriate rate capacity, each member of the cluster runs an estimation algorithm to determine whether or not additional rate capacity should be reserved from the reservation coordinator, or released back into the cluster for redistribution. The estimation algorithm is run in real-time and allows the admission control algorithm to adapt to changes in rate distribution.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a system for implementing a software application programming interface (API) within a session initiation protocol (SIP) servlet. Such a system can utilize a state machine, a SIP servlet configured to execute the state machine, and an enterprise service bus (ESB). The state machine can be configured to send and receive a series of communications and can be defined in a definition document. The series of communications can represent the execution of a software function defined within an API. The SIP servlet can select a state machine based upon an indicator contained within a received SIP message. The ESB can be configured to execute a system function in response to communications with the state machine.

Abstract: A communication orchestration service automatically orchestrates dynamic multiple party, multiple media communications. A customer expresses his or her communications needs in the form of a high-level goal or goals. A goal-based search finds a combination of building block predicates that can be used to satisfy the customer's needs. In conjunction with the search process, the mechanism uses the SIP OPTIONS request or presence information to actively query device status and capabilities during the search. This enables the search to actively explore the communications environment at runtime. Once a solution is found, the necessary parties can be contacted, resources can be provisioned, and the multiple media, multiple user collaboration/conference can be initiated.

Abstract: A mechanism for ensuring the authenticity of written and printed documents. With the mechanism of the present invention, electronic ink is deposited onto a document, wherein the electronic ink deposited comprises at least one mark visible to a user. Current is applied to the electronic ink while the electronic ink is wet. The current is applied to the electronic ink in order to imprint a pattern in the ink. The electronic ink deposited on the document is then allowed to dry. The pattern in the electronic ink may then be examined to verify the authenticity of the document.

Abstract: A system for testing branch execution and state transition logic in session initiation protocol application modular components. A test harness constructs, sends, and initializes an artificial session initiation protocol runtime environment in order to test session initiation protocol application modular components. The artificial session initiation protocol runtime environment simulates session initiation protocol messages and a determines whether an appropriate session initiation protocol event occurs. Subsequent to determining whether the appropriate session initiation protocol event occurs in response to the simulated session initiation protocol messages, a report of the test results is generated.

Abstract: Given a SIP call flow definition and WSDL extended with SIP/call flow interactions, a converged application integration (CAI) engine provides service-oriented application practitioners with an ability to reuse existing Web services integration techniques in a new converged application integration green space. The converged application integration engine “wraps” a pre-existing converged Web service/SIP or a SIP-only application, listens to application-specific signaling, and based on a supplied WSDL with SIP/call flow extensions, makes and accepts interaction requests using Web services. Given a SIP call flow definition, a WSDL extended with SIP/call flow interactions, and the converged application integration engine, a converged application execution (CAE) engine that greatly eases developing new converged applications. At runtime, the CAE engine “stitches” the signaling onto the decomposed servlet model by following the WSDL extended with SIP/call flow interactions. At appropriate binding points, the CAE engine invokes the listener callback interfaces.
