Abstract: The present invention is method for scheduling jobs in a grid computing environment without having to monitor the state of the resource on the gird comprising a Global Scheduling Program (GSP) and a Local Scheduling Program (LSP). The GSP receives jobs submitted to the grid and distributes the job to the closest resource. The resource then runs the LSP to determine if the resource can execute the job under the conditions specified in the job. The LSP either rejects or accepts the job based on the current state of the resource properties and informs the GSP of the acceptance or rejection. If the job is rejected, the GSP randomly selects another resource to send the job to using a resource table. The resource table contains the state-independent properties of every resource on the grid.

Abstract translation: 本发明是一种用于在网格计算环境中调度作业的方法，而不必监视包括全局调度程序（GSP）和本地调度程序（LSP）在内的资源的状态。 GSP接收提交到网格的作业并将作业分发到最接近的资源。 资源然后运行LSP以确定资源是否可以在作业中指定的条件下执行作业。 LSP根据资源属性的当前状态拒绝或接受该作业，并通知GSP接受或拒绝。 如果作业被拒绝，GSP将随机选择另一个资源将作业发送到使用资源表。 资源表包含网格上每个资源的与状态无关的属性。

Abstract: A method, system, and program managing analysis of a degraded service in a grid environment are provided. In a grid environment of multiple diverse systems, a service availability management agent is enabled to receive multiple types of error messages generated from the multiple diverse systems within the grid environment. Each error message is parsed to determine a general error indicator. Then, the service availability management agent attempts to resolve the general error indicator and return a solution to each parsed error message. Solutions may include an adjustment of resource usage by a particular service, an explanation of a particular error message, or a recommendation of alternate resources. The service availability management agent preferably specifies the transmission of the solution in a format specified for the requester system.

Abstract: A method, system, and program for maintaining application operations within a suboptimal grid environment are provided. An application profile expresses the operational requirements of an application across multiple heterogeneous resource platforms and expresses the priority of modular breakdown of an application so that usage of resources by the application can be adjusted when suboptimal conditions are detected for the application. The application is submitted to at least one resource node from among multiple resource nodes within a grid environment. Then, a service availability management agent monitors a performance status of the at least one resource node. The service availability management agent compares the performance status with an operational requirement specified for the platform of the at least one resource node in the application profile. If the performance status does not meet the operational requirement, then the service availability management agent adjusts the use by the application the resource nodes according to the application profile, such that the application continues to operate when suboptimal conditions arise in a grid environment.

Abstract: A method for monitoring payments, payment authorizations, and payable events in an inventor recognition program for a company. The present invention comprises an Award Reminder Program (ARP), an Award Status Program (ASP), and an Award Monitoring Program (AMP). The ARP monitors the award tracking database associated with the present invention and sends the inventor's manager an email requesting authorization of payment when required. If the manager does not authorize payment, the ARP sends the manager a reminder email. If the manager still does not authorize payment, the ARP proceeds up the company's organizational chart until payment is authorized. The ASP monitors the award tracking database and updates the status of each docket in the award tracking database. The AMP allows a user to view the award tracking database, print a payment report, print a payable events report, or send a reminder email to the inventor's manager.

Abstract: A method and implementing processing system are provided in which, in addition to normal playback modes, users of voice mail devices are enabled to select a vignette playback mode in which shortened versions of received messages are played back to the user. In one embodiment, a user is able to have the shortened versions or vignettes played back sequentially without interruption. In another embodiment, the user may select to pause after each playback in order to manage or otherwise dispose of the played message. In yet another embodiment, the user is enabled to select vignette mode playback default values including, but not limited to, selecting which portion of received messages are to be played back, and the duration of each vignette message playback. The user is also enabled to input new vignette playback values in place of the default values for each received message or group of received messages. User inputs and menu options are implemented using any input and/or selection means including, but not limited to, voice recognition and voice processing methodologies, device button selection with reference to a displayed “soft” menu, voiced menu presentation from the receiving device, voiced input from a user, and/or wireless or hard-wired stylus input from a user.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for facilitating communication through a messaging system by identifying times when a user of the system is most likely to be available for a messaging session. The apparatus comprises an event monitor, a database, a usage processor, and a usage indicator. The event monitor detects messaging system events and records information about these events in the database. The usage processor retrieves the recorded information from the database and uses the information to compiles statistical usage data for a given user. The usage indicator then displays the statistical usage data in a summary format to an end user. In the preferred embodiment, the event monitor, usage processor, and usage indicators are all implemented as computer instructions. These three components may be executed independently of each other, or they may be integrated into a single computer program. Similarly, each component may operate independently or be integrated into an existing messaging system.

Abstract: A method and system are provided in which broadcast signals are received and converted into data streams for processing. A user is enabled to select preferred broadcast stations for monitoring and signals from the selected stations are converted into digital data streams which are input to first-in first-out (FIFO) memory units to enable a local storage of a segment of predetermined duration of broadcast signals on different FIFO tracks in a user receiving device. The FIFO is dynamically allocated for the selected stations and as each FIFO memory for each selected station becomes full, old information or content is moved out of memory as new information or content is applied to the FIFO. The receiving device includes means for enabling a user to move forward or backward within the stored segment. Partitions or markers are provided to separate broadcast content items, such as sequentially played songs within the stored segment, to enable incremental movement to selected positions within the stored segment. Sections of stored segments which are selected for user processing are copied to separate memory locations for access to avoid interference with the continuing FIFO storage of received broadcast signals.

Abstract translation: 提供一种方法和系统，其中广播信号被接收并转换成用于处理的数据流。 用户能够选择用于监视的优选广播站，并且来自所选择的站的信号被转换成数字数据流，其被输入到先进先出（FIFO）存储器单元，以使得能够本地存储预定持续时间的段 在用户接收设备中的不同FIFO轨道上的广播信号。 为所选择的站动态地分配FIFO，并且当新的信息或内容被应用于FIFO时，由于每个所选站的每个FIFO存储器变为满，旧的信息或内容被移出存储器。 接收设备包括用于使用户能够在所存储的段内向前或向后移动的装置。 提供分区或标记以分离广播内容项，例如在所存储的段内的顺序播放的歌曲，以使得能够向所存储的段内的选定位置进行增量移动。 被选择用于用户处理的存储段的段被复制到用于访问的分离的存储器位置，以避免对所接收的广播信号的连续FIFO存储的干扰。
