摘要： Methods and systems are provided relating to a decentralized algorithm for managing replicas of a resource in a peer-to-peer network to satisfy quality of service requirements. Individual nodes within the network storing a resource replica continually monitor the node performance against quality of service (QoS) parameters and when necessary, take appropriate action to either add or delete the resource, all the while informing the other nodes within the network that maintain a replica of the resource of the particular action for dynamic fluctuation of the count of resource replicas therein.

摘要： An overall processing time to rasterize, at the first device, the electronic document to be rendered is computed. Also, a rendering time to render, at the first device, the electronic document to be rendered is computed. When the overall processing time to rasterize at the first device is greater than the rendering time to render at the first device, the electronic document to be rendered is parsed into a first document and sub-documents. A productivity capacity of each node is determined, the productivity capacity being a measured of the processing power of the node and the communication cost of exchanging information between the first device and the node. A sub-document is rasterized at a node when a productivity capacity of the node reduces the processing time to rasterize the electronic document to be rendered to be less than the computed overall processing time. The rasterized first document and each rasterized sub-document are aggregated to create a rasterized electronic document to be rendered at the first device.

摘要： Methods and systems for selecting a service provider are disclosed. Information pertaining to print service providers, including associated user and general reputation scores, are received. Each user reputation score identifies a user's perception of a print service provider's reputation. Each general reputation score identifies a general strength of the print service provider's reputation. A first set of providers is selected based on a threshold user reputation score. A second set of providers is selected (pseudo-)randomly. A trust score is determined for each provider in the first and second sets based on the associated user and general reputation scores. One or more negotiation providers are selected from the first and second sets based on the associated trust scores. One or more of the user and general reputation scores are updated for negotiation providers based on a quality of service provided or an offer provided to or by the negotiation provider.

摘要： A system and method for the dynamic allocation of resources based on multi-phase negotiation mechanism. A resource allocation decision can be made based on an index value computed by a selection index function. A negotiation process can be performed based on a schedule, a number of resources, and a price of resources. A user requesting a resource for a low priority task can negotiate based on the schedule, the user demanding the resource for a medium priority task can negotiate based on the schedule and/or the number of resources, and filially the user requesting the resource for a high priority job can successfully negotiate based on per unit resource price. The multi-phase negotiation mechanism motivates the users to be cooperative among them and improves a cooperative behavior coefficient and an overall user satisfaction rate.

摘要： A user of a computerized device creates an item capable of being printed and stores the item within storage of the computerized device. An instruction to perform delayed printing of the item is received from a user of a computerized device when the user is outside a predetermined physical range of at least one printing device. The computerized device detects when the computerized device is within the predetermined physical range of the printing device and, when this occurs, the computerized device provides the user a printing option to print the item on the printing device. If the user selects the printing option, the methods herein forward the item to a conversion device. The conversion device makes the item print ready so that the item can be printed using the printing device. The methods herein then cause the item to be forwarded from the conversion device to the printing device and printed on the printing device.

摘要： The embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus and a system for protocol identification. The implementation of the method includes extracting the identification tuple of a message, wherein the identification tuple at least includes a network address; searching an identification table for the algorithm application list corresponding to the identification tuple; and performing a content identification for the message with an algorithm in the algorithm application list to obtain the protocol type of the message. By using the identification tuple which at least includes IP address and is extracted from the message to search for the corresponding algorithm, and then performing content identification for the message with the searched algorithm, the above implementation can improve the message identification precision and reduce the identification error.
