An acceptor for admitting incoming requests to a server application includes a session manager that determines the class of an incoming request. The class includes a first class and a second class. A queuing module is provided to store the request if the incoming request is of the second class. A priority control module is provided to ensure that a predetermined number of requests are sent to the server application for service in each cycle. The priority control module allows (1) the predetermined number of the first class requests to be sent to the server application if the first class requests received in a cycle are at least equal to the predetermined number, and (2) a mixture of the first class requests and the second class requests to be sent to the server application if the first class requests received in a cycle are less than the predetermined number. A method of handling incoming requests to the server application is also described.

A motion compensating coder which includes a control section for setting quantizer step size accounts for both the buffer occupancy and the texture of the image being coded. The coding control method, using well-accepted assumptions relating to the human visual sensitivity to quantization distortion in an image, employs a recursive strategy that maintains a coding rate which closely approximates the number of target bits.

Method and apparatus for a demand scheduled partial carrier load planning system for the transportation industry, designed to distribute planned and random orders, each order having a source point and a destination point in the territory served, and for distributing products and materials in a predetermined geographic territory, primarily intended for use in connection with wheeled vehicles traveling over public highways.

In one embodiment, a data set is received at a network service element of a network service, a location record for that data set is generated, and the location record is sent to a location registry within the network service to monitored locations of that data set within a network service. The network service element is operatively coupled to a communications link. The location record is generated based on a portion of the data set and a cryptographic key associated with the network service element. The location record uniquely identifies the presence of the data set at the network service element.

A capacity planning system (100, 200), comprising a memory device (112, 212) storing a number of historical input data files (115, 215), a number of input data configuration files (120, 220), and a number of simulator configuration files (125, 225), a processor (130, 230) communicatively coupled to the memory device (112, 212), a decision policy module (110, 210) communicatively coupled to the processor (130, 230) that creates a number of decision policies based on an environment in which the system (100, 200) is operating and the historical input data files (115, 215), and a simulator (135, 235) that executes the number of decision policies based on the data provided to it by the processor (130, 230) and provides a dynamically evolving model of an environment as a number of resources defined in the number of simulator configuration files (125, 225) move through the environment.

In one implementation, encrypted data and a virtual machine are stored together as a virtual machine-data image, wherein the virtual machine is configured to EXERT management control over the data based on policies set by an owner of the data. In another implementation, metadata defining or tagging policies for usage of data is associated with the data. Control capabilities of service providers are mapped to the policies, wherein those service provider environments that best satisfy the controls mapped to the policies are identified.
摘要:
A collaborative work environment is provided that supports collaboration among users for performance of a people service that is associated with ad-hoc activities. An information base is provided that includes information relating to responsibilities of the users and work items for the ad-hoc activities. An interactive guidance structure is presented in the collaborative environment to guide actions of the users with respect to the work items. Materials produced as a result of the actions to update the information base are collected.
摘要:
A template-based technique for making a best practices framework actionable includes creating a formal representation of a best practices framework, where the representation includes a machine-readable template. A portion of the template is interpreted to link the portion of the template with logic that corresponds to an action. Execution of the logic is triggered to perform the action in response to occurrence of a trigger condition.
摘要:
Candidate service providers for a desired service are ranked. Terms describing service requirements for a desired service are determined. Service capability documents describing the services of the candidate service providers are determined using the terms describing the service requirements. Using singular value decomposition (SVD) and a metric, similarities between the terms describing the service requirements and the service capability documents are determined. The candidate service providers are ranked based on the similarities.
