Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for modifying a group list server to perform syndication feed operations. A syndication feed creation software component, a content gathering component, and a content extraction converting component can be added to a group list server. The modified group list server can continue to function as a traditional list server and can also function as a traditional feed server that is able to interoperate with standard, client-side feed readers. In one embodiment, the modified list server can repurpose syndication groups as to operate as syndication feed channels and can repurpose group members to operate as feed items.

Abstract: Mechanisms for developing Diameter applications are provided. The mechanisms 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: An extended Web services description language (WSDL) is provided to allow for the merging of call flow XML with the interface description. This is accomplished through additional WSDL bindings for operations that associate an operation with segments or message points within the call flow. In addition, the extension to WSDL defines a set of interactions that provide additional semantics for how the operation interacts with the call flow. These interactions capture the interaction points between the WSDL. The WSDL interfaces that are created may be used for outbound interactions (i.e. initiated through Web services from some event within the call flow) or for the usual inbound request response. An additional lifecycle listener interface is used to convey different binding points between an enhanced converged Web service processing engine and a converged application implementation of the WSDL.

Abstract translation: 提供了扩展的Web服务描述语言（WSDL），以允许将呼叫流XML与接口描述合并。 这通过用于将操作与呼叫流中的段或消息点相关联的操作的附加WSDL绑定来实现。 此外，WSDL的扩展定义了一组交互，为操作与呼叫流的交互提供了额外的语义。 这些交互捕获了WSDL之间的交互点。 创建的WSDL接口可以用于出站交互（即通过来自呼叫流中的一些事件的Web服务启动）或用于通常的入站请求响应。 附加的生命周期侦听器接口用于在增强的融合Web服务处理引擎和WSDL的融合应用程序实现之间传达不同的绑定点。

Abstract: A system for managing failover in a server cluster. In response to detecting a failed server, subscription message processing of a failover server is stopped. A subscription queue of the failed server is opened. A marker message is published to all subscribers of a particular messaging topic. The marker message includes an identification of the failover server managing the subscription queue of the failed server. Messages within the subscription queue of the failed server are processed. In response to determining that a message in the subscription queue of the failed server is the marker message, the subscription queue of the failed server is closed. Then, the failover server resumes processing of its original subscription queue looking for the marker message, while processing yet unseen messages from the queue. Once the marker message is found in the original subscription queue, normal operation is resumed.

Abstract: Mechanisms for distributing rate limits and tracking rate consumption across members of a cluster are provided. One member of the cluster is responsible for controlling the distribution of rate capacity across members of the cluster. Rate capacity may be distributed in a hierarchical fashion to account for the needs of the various services, applications, and/or operations provided by the cluster members. A hierarchical tree structure may be formed by distributing rate capacity among a plurality of nodes arranged at a global, service, application or operation level of the tree. In some cases, rate capacity may also be distributed at a requester level to account for the needs of requesters who are granted access to the services, applications and operations provided by the cluster members.

Abstract: Mechanisms for burst traffic smoothing for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) processing elements are provided. A dispatch queue management engine determines whether a received packet is a TCP or UDP packet. If the packet is a TCP packet, the packet is automatically added to the dispatch queue. If the packet is a UDP packet, a value for a drop function ƒ is generated and a random or pseudo-random number r is generated. If r has a predetermined relationship to ƒ, then the UDP packet is added to the dispatch queue, otherwise the UDP packet is discarded. The value for ƒ is based on the current dispatch queue load, the network quality, the retransmission rate, and the allowable drop rate. Thus, the determination as to whether to drop UDP packets or not is configurable by an administrator and also adaptable to the current network and dispatch queue conditions.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于会话发起协议（SIP）处理元件的突发流量平滑的机制。 调度队列管理引擎确定接收的分组是TCP还是UDP分组。 如果数据包是TCP数据包，则数据包将自动添加到调度队列中。 如果分组是UDP分组，则生成丢弃函数ƒ的值，并且生成随机或伪随机数r。 如果r与ƒ具有预定的关系，则将UDP数据包添加到调度队列，否则丢弃UDP数据包。 ƒ的值基于当前的调度队列负载，网络质量，重传速率和允许的丢弃率。 因此，关于是否丢弃UDP分组的确定由管理员来配置，并且还适应于当前网络和调度队列条件。

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for a session initiation protocol application design, development, execution, and integration. A framework with a framework controller, an application data object, transition handlers, precondition handlers and post condition handlers is provided. When a message is received in a SIP application, the framework controller determines a state of application and parses the message to update application data by using corresponding handlers. The handlers for each state are specified in an input markup language model defined by a user externally via a Web service accessible component.

Abstract: A system and method for creating global sessions across different protocols and multiple converged protocol applications are provided. By creating a global session, state information for each of the individual protocol sessions may be communicated across protocols and utilized in performing operations across converged protocol applications. An edge server is used at the edge of a data network to correlate client interactions over different protocols and to associate them with a global session. The edge server acts as a session reference counter for individual client sessions that are part of a larger global session. The global session is created after the creation of the first protocol session and exists across the creation of future sessions on other protocols and other converged applications. Logical names and global session tokens are utilized to manage the various global sessions handled by the edge server.

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.
