An exemplary system for monitoring search spam and protecting against search spam includes a self-monitoring subsystem to uncover spam patterns and a self-protection subsystem to protect against spam by providing spam-related information to strengthen a relevance ranking algorithm. An exemplary architecture for monitoring search spam includes a first component to receive one or more spammer targeted keywords and to search, scan and analyze URLs based at least in part on the one or more spammer targeted keywords, a second component to receive one or more URLs from the first component and to verify one or more of these URLs as a spam URL and a third component to collect spammer targeted keywords associated with one or more spam URLs and to provide one or more of the spammer targeted keywords to the first component. Other methods, systems, etc., are also disclosed.

An exemplary method for protecting web browsers from spam includes providing a multi-layer model that includes a doorway layer, a redirection domain layer, an aggregator layer, a syndicator layer and an advertiser layer; identifying domains as being associated with at least one of the layers; and, based at least in part on the identifying, taking one or more corrective actions to protect web browsers from search spam. An exemplary method for identifying a bottleneck layer in a multi-layer spam model includes providing a multi-layer spam model, collecting spam advertisements, associating a block of IP addresses with the collected spam advertisements and identifying a bottleneck layer based on the block of IP addresses. Other methods, systems, etc., are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method and system for ranking possible causes of a component exhibiting a certain behavior is provided. In one embodiment, a troubleshooting system ranks candidate configuration parameters that may be causing a software application to exhibit an undesired behavior using support information relating to problems resulting from the settings of configuration parameters. The support information may be collected from problem reports generated by product support services personnel when troubleshooting problems that users encounter with the application. The troubleshooting system ranks the candidate configuration parameters as likely causing the application to exhibit the undesired behavior based on analysis of the support information.
摘要:
System events preceding occurrence of a problem are likely to be similar to events preceding occurrence of the same problem at other times or on other systems. Thus, the cause of a problem may be identified by comparing a trace of events preceding occurrence of the problem with previously diagnosed traces. Traces of events preceding occurrences of a problem arising from a known cause are reduced to a series of descriptive elements. These elements are aligned to correlate differently timed but otherwise similar traces of events, converted into symbolic representations, and archived. A trace of events leading to an undiagnosed a problem similarly is converted to a symbolic representation. The representation of the undiagnosed trace is then compared to the archived representations to identify a similar archived representation. The cause of the similar archived representation is presented as a diagnosis of the problem.
摘要:
A system arid method for enabling highly scalable multi-node event distribution networks through the use of summary-based routing, particularly event distribution networks using a content-based publish/subscribe model to distribute information. By allowing event routers to use imprecise summaries of the subscriptions hosted by matcher nodes, an event router can eliminate itself as a bottleneck thus improving overall event distribution network throughput even though the use of imprecise summaries results in some false positive event traffic. False positive event traffic is reduced by using a filter set partitioning that provides for good subscription set locality at each matcher node, while at the same time avoiding overloading any one matcher node. Good subscription set locality is maintained by routing new subscriptions to a matcher node with a subscription summary that best covers the new subscription. Where event space partitioning is desirable, an over-partitioning scheme is described that enables load balancing without repartitioning.

摘要:
An optimistic distributed simulation method applicable to event-driven simulation that requires only a single rollback announcement per straggler message, with no need for other simulation processes to announce their roll backs. The method is accomplished by maintaining transitive dependency information between the simulation processes in the form of a simulation vector. The present invention eliminates the need for output queues and also the possibility of multiple roll backs per simulation process and avalanche of anti-messages. Alternatives to reduce blocking and minimize the size of the simulation vectors are also disclosed thereby reducing the overhead requirements for systems with large numbers of logical processes.
