摘要： Improved network topology discovery techniques are disclosed. For example, an automated method for discovering a topology of a network, having a plurality of nodes, includes the following steps. A first traceroute process is performed for a given source node and one or more destination nodes listed in a target list so as to discover one or more paths through one or more intermediate nodes between the given source node and the one or more destination nodes. The one or more intermediate nodes discovered during the first traceroute process are added to the target list. A second traceroute process is performed for the given source node and the one or more intermediate nodes discovered during the first traceroute process so as to discover one or more paths through one or more additional intermediate nodes between the given source node and the one or more intermediate nodes discovered during the first traceroute process. When one or more additional intermediate nodes are discovered as a result of performance of the second traceroute process, the one or more additional intermediate nodes are added to the target list and the traceroute process is repeated to determine the existence of any further intermediate nodes. When no new intermediate nodes are discovered as a result of performance of the second traceroute process or a subsequent traceroute process, the nodes in the target list are identified as a target closure set for the given source node.

摘要： In the context of problems associated with self-healing in autonomic computer systems, and particularly, the problem of fast and efficient real-time diagnosis in large-scale distributed systems, a “divide-and-conquer” approach to diagnostic tasks is disclosed. Preferably, parallel (i.e., multi-thread) and distributed (i.e., multi-machine) architectures are used, whereby the diagnostic task is preferably divided into subtasks and distributed to multiple diagnostic engines that collaborate with each other in order to reach a final diagnosis. Each diagnostic engine is preferably responsible for some subset of system components (its “region”) and performs the diagnosis using all available observation about these components. When the regions do not intersect, the diagnostic task is trivially parallelized.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for the dynamic placement, management and monitoring of Internet advertising. A provider of Internet content distributes the Internet content by embedding an advertisement placeholder in the Internet content; and provides the Internet content to an aggregator web site. The aggregator web site presents the Internet content to at least one end user with at least one advertisement in the advertisement placeholder. The advertisement placeholder is processed by a third party agent to automatically share revenue from the at least one advertisement with the provider of the Internet content and a provider of the aggregator web site. The advertisement placeholder can optionally be embedded in the Internet content using one or more templates. The third party agent also evaluates the content and at least one policy of multiple parties to identify at least one advertisement to present in the advertisement placeholder. The advertisement placeholder embodies a three party agreement between the provider of the Internet content, the provider of the aggregator web site and at least one advertiser.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for identity verification for at least one user to a text-based communication. An identity of at least one user to a text-based communication is verified by obtaining a plurality of characteristic features of at least one prior text-based communication between the at least one user and at least one additional user; comparing the plurality of characteristic features to a current session of the text-based communication; and verifying the identity of the at least one user based on a result of the comparison. The text-based communication can optionally be suspended if a user is not verified and/or an alarm can be generated.

摘要： A system and method for designing a dial plan for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems includes generating an abstract dial plan design which is platform independent, the dial plan including rules for routing communications in a VoIP network structure. The dial plan is validated through simulations prior to deployment to evaluate the dial plan performance under simulated conditions. The dial plan design is translated to provide compatibility with a deployed network using platform specific configuration adaptors.

摘要： Techniques are provided for discovery and monitoring of an environment using a plurality of robots. A plurality of robots navigate an environment by determining a navigation buffer for each of the robots; and allowing each of the robots to navigate within the environment while maintaining a substantially minimum distance from other robots, wherein the substantially minimum distance corresponds to the navigation buffer, and wherein a size of each of the navigation buffers is reduced over time based on a percentage of the environment that remains to be navigated. The robots can also navigate an environment by obtaining a discretization of the environment to a plurality of discrete regions; and determining a next unvisited discrete region for one of the plurality of robots to explore in the exemplary environment using a breadth-first search. The plurality of discrete regions can be, for example, a plurality of real or virtual tiles.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for managing pay-per-use licensing models that determine a licensing fee based on user consumption. A client-side method is provided for monitoring usage of a portion of a software application by a user, by monitoring actions of the user at an image level; determining if one or more predefined user actions are detected, wherein the predefined user actions comprise usage of a function of the software application; and providing a notification of the predefined user actions to a mediation server for payment processing. The notifications are optionally performed periodically for a plurality of the notifications. Execution of the software application can optionally be suspended if payment is not made for the usage, or if the notification is not received by the mediation server.
