摘要： Systems and method for providing an auction. A computer server has a searchable database of items offered for sale by a plurality of sellers. The database is accessible by a plurality of sellers and a plurality of buyers. A conglomeration agent running on the server identifies related items for sale as a single conglomeration and stores the conglomeration in the database. The buyer may view both individual items for sale and conglomerations of items for sale, and place a bid on a conglomeration of such items or the individual item. If the bid matches the conditions set forth by the sellers, the sale of either a conglomeration or an individual item is completed. The system also generates a performance metric for both buyers and sellers which are also made available to buyer and sellers and may be used to assess the desirability of dealing with certain buyers or sellers.

摘要： A system, method and computer program product for monitoring availability of end user devices needed for performing tasks. The system comprises a first network including one or more devices associated with an end user, at least one device adapted for communicating with a service provider over a second network, the service provider providing network-based services in the system. The system includes a memory storage device for maintaining information of tasks associated with an end user, the information including recommended end-user devices adapted to perform the tasks, the information being accessible to at least one end-user device. At least one end-user device detects non-availability or performance deficiencies of any end-user device required in performing end-user tasks, and communicates with the service provider for invoking network-based services to facilitate correcting non-availability of any end-user device. Such a system, method and computer program product enables students to receive these reminders and alerts, to order the necessary upgrades from suppliers via web services, and to monitor delivery from a single user interface provided on one of their devices.

摘要： A method of managing instant messaging communication over a computer network is provided. One or more instant messaging session windows are organized in an instant messaging session manager. At least one distinguishing session characteristic is attributed to each of the one or more instant messaging session windows. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic is at least one of a sound clip associated with a user of the session, an instant messaging session window background associated with a user of the session, and a change in at least one of a color and an intensity of the instant messaging session window. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic increases a likelihood of identification of each of the one or more instant messaging session windows.

摘要： Real world energy usage can be reduced using a virtual environment. A virtual universe energy conservation system (“system”) can determine comprehensive energy usage at a physical site where a client accessing a virtual universe is located. The system can determine that the comprehensive energy usage at the physical site exceeds an energy usage threshold. The system can also notify a virtual universe user account associated with the client that the comprehensive energy usage at the physical site exceeds the energy usage threshold.

摘要： A server computer system includes a keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism that monitors current operating conditions and dynamically adjusts the keep-alive specification to optimize the keep-alives for the current operating conditions. The keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism monitors the total number of clients, and the average number of requests per client. The value of a keep-alive specification that determines how log to keep a connection open may be dynamically and autonomically adjusted by the keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism according to the monitored current operating conditions. The keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism may also include the ability to autonomically enable and disable the keep-alives. In this manner the performance of the server may be tuned to optimize the effect of using keep-alives according to current operating conditions.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for optimizing “Hypertext Preprocessor” (PHP) processes by identifying the PHP pages which are active on a server and forwarding requests for specific pages to a processor which has recently processed that page. A request processing optimization (RPO) utility assigns an initial request received at the server for a PHP page based on a number of factors which may include a relative usage level of a processor within a pool of available processors on a server. The RPO utility assigns a request to additional processors based on: (1) a threshold frequency of page requests; and (2) a resource intensive factor of a page request measured by average response time of the page request. The assignment of PHP pages to a particular processor(s) enhances cache performance since the requisite code for a specific PHP page is loaded into the processor's cache.

摘要翻译： 一种方法，系统和计算机程序产品，用于通过识别服务器上活动的PHP页面并将特定页面的请求转发到最近处理该页面的处理器来优化“超文本预处理器”（PHP）进程。 请求处理优化（RPO）实用程序根据可能包括服务器上的可用处理器池中的处理器的相对使用级别的因素来分配针对PHP页面在服务器处接收的初始请求。 RPO实用程序基于以下方式向其他处理器分配请求：（1）页面请求的阈值频率; 和（2）通过页面请求的平均响应时间测量的页面请求的资源密集型因素。 将PHP页面分配给特定处理器可以增强缓存性能，因为特定PHP页面的必需代码将加载到处理器的缓存中。

摘要： A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, calculate the average number of servers that executed an application in a previous time period, decide whether the current number of servers that execute the application is less than the average number of servers, and, if so, power on the average number of servers. The application is then distributed across the average number of servers. In an embodiment, the server is powered on by increasing the clock speed of the processors associated with the servers. In an embodiment, a determination is periodically made whether the response time of the application is greater than a threshold, and, if so, the servers are powered on and the application is distributed across the servers. In an embodiment, a determination is periodically made whether the response time of the application is less than a threshold, and, if so, servers are powered off and the application is distributed across the remaining servers.

摘要： A system and method includes steps, or acts, of: defining one or more events to provide a unified specification; registering one or more events to be detected; detecting an occurrence of at least one of the registered event or events; generating a monitoring entry each time one of the registered events is detected; and entering each of the monitoring entries generated into a single logical entity. The method can also be implemented as machine executable instructions executed by a programmable information processing system or as hard coded logic in a specialized computing apparatus such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
