摘要： Embodiments of the present invention relate to the release of computing infrastructure components (e.g., hardware, software, combinations thereof, etc.) from a networked computing environment for potential use by another networked computing environment. In a typical embodiment, a computing infrastructure component is identified from set of computing infrastructure components associated with a networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether the computing infrastructure component can be released from the networked computing environment. Then, responsive to the determination, the computing infrastructure component may be released from the networked computing environment.

摘要： An addressable device receives a user-characterized rewind description. The addressable device stores the user-characterized rewind description. The addressable device renders an at least one media file to include a resume point of the at least one media file. The addressable device receives a command to preferentially rewind. The addressable device, responsive to receiving the command to preferentially rewind, re-renders the at least one media file to the user-characterized rewind description such that the display shows the at least one media file at a replay point of the media file at least the user-characterized rewind description prior to the resume point.

摘要： A method and apparatus for managing executable files. Responsive to detecting a request to run an executable file on a computer, a processor unit determines whether the executable file was downloaded to the computer within a period of time associated with a recent download. Responsive to a determination that the executable file was downloaded to the computer within the period of time, the processor unit determines whether feedback for the executable file from a number of users of the executable file is present in a repository. The feedback identified for the executable file in the repository is presented using a presentation system. User input as to whether the executable file should be run is prompted for by the processor unit after presenting the feedback.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for broker facilitated, publisher peer-to-peer (P2P) collaboration in a publish-subscription (pub/sub) environment. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, a broker system acts as an intermediary between publisher systems and subscriber systems in the pub/sub environment. Along these lines, the broker creates an administrative communication channel between known publisher systems and the broker system. Using this administrative communication channel, the broker system informs individual publisher systems about other publisher systems such that peer-to-peer communication channels between two or more publisher systems can be established. This can be accomplished using the broker system's knowledge of data being published by the individual publisher systems. Regardless, the publisher systems can then use information received from the broker system to: establish a P2P communication channel with one or more other publishers; identify a set of data that has commonality to the peers (and thus has a potential to be cached); and negotiate a caching schema/approach to store the data in a cache. The broker system may generate a set of cache key/unique identifiers and communicate the unique identifiers to at least one of the publisher peers, which will then share the unique identifiers among the peers. The set of data will then be cached (e.g., by a publisher system, a broker system and/or a subscriber system) using the unique identifiers.

摘要翻译： 本发明的实施例提供了一种用于在发布预订（pub / sub）环境中的代理促进的发布者对等（P2P）协作的方法。 具体来说，在典型的实施例中，代理系统充当发布者系统和公共/子环境中的用户系统之间的中介。 沿着这些方式，代理在已知的发行商系统和代理系统之间创建一个管理通信渠道。 使用该管理通信信道，代理系统通知个别发布者系统关于其他发布者系统，使得可以建立两个或多个发布者系统之间的对等通信信道。 这可以使用代理系统对由各个发布者系统发布的数据的知识来实现​​。 无论如何，发布者系统然后可以使用从代理系统接收的信息：与一个或多个其他发布者建立P2P通信通道; 识别与对等体具有共同性（因此有可能被缓存）的一组数据; 并协商缓存模式/方法来将数据存储在缓存中。 代理系统可以生成一组高速缓存密钥/唯一标识符，并将唯一标识符传递给发布者对等体中的至少一个，然后这些发布者对等体将在对等体之间共享唯一的标识符。 然后，该组数据将使用唯一标识符来缓存（例如由发布者系统，代理系统和/或订户系统）。

摘要： A method, system and computer program provide a mechanism for intelligently synchronizing a portable video device with a digital video recorder. The intelligent synchronization handles conditions under which a complete transfer of difference content is not possible due to available storage limitations of the portable video device. The synchronization process determines a content difference between the content on the portable video device and the content on the DVR, determines available storage space on the portable video device and compares the available storage space on the portable video device to a size of the content difference. If the size of the content difference is greater than the available storage space, the size of the content difference is reduced, by compression or truncation, without completely excluding video programs from the transfer.

摘要： Mechanisms for instantiating an interface or abstract class in application code are provided. An object-oriented programming language is extended such that interfaces and abstract classes can be instantiated in application code without a concrete class specified. Metadata is defined which maps each interface or abstract class instantiation in the application code to a concrete class to be used either by the compiler at build time, or the virtual machine at runtime. Once the appropriate concrete class is determined from the metadata, the class is instantiated with a conventional class loader. The metadata may be provided, for example, as a separate file, such as a markup language file, defined with a virtual machine switch, as annotations in the application code, or the like.

摘要： Generally speaking, systems, methods and media for managing donations of shared inventory items in a virtual universe are disclosed. Embodiments of the method may include receiving a request to make available for donation a shared inventory item list that can be borrowed simultaneously by a plurality of users of a virtual universe where the request includes an indication of donation conditions for the donated shared inventory item. Embodiments may also include generating and storing metadata associated with the donated shared inventory item and receiving a request from a plurality of users to borrow the item. Embodiments may include lending the donated shared inventory item to the plurality of borrowing users such that multiple users are borrowing the item simultaneously. Embodiments may also include tracking usage of the donated shared inventory item by the plurality of borrowing users and optionally determining a donation amount resulting from the tracked usage.

摘要： Mechanisms are provided for collaborating between two or more operating system image repository systems. A first operating system image (OSI) repository system is associated with a second OSI repository system. Each of the first and second OSI repository systems store one or more OSIs for use either natively or virtually by client computing devices. One or more collaboration rules are defined that define a manner by which OSI information in the first OSI repository system is shared with the second OSI repository system. A collaborative operation is performed between the first OSI repository system and the second OSI repository system. An extent of the collaborative operation is circumscribed by application of the one or more collaboration rules.

摘要： Methods, services, program products and devices are provided for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment. A first user of a virtual universe domain environment selects or defines an artifact tag comprising rendering data and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol comprising a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to another second user of the virtual universe domain environment. A first user requesting application of a tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain, causes a setting or updating of a protocol compliance value. An avatar of another, second second user engaging the artifact item causes a virtual universe client of the engaging second user avatar to render the item to the second user in compliance with the tag rendering data if a set or updated compliance value meets a compliance prerequisite.
