US Patent:

7275131, Sep 25, 2007

Filed:

Dec 22, 2004

Appl. No.:

11/019874

Inventors:

Brian D. Goodman - New York NY, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 12/16

US Classification:

711106, 711118

Abstract:

We present, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a novel method for providing cache refresh within a finite time window (i. e. , a time-box) with predictable accuracy and given constrained resources. Instead of refreshing the entire cache in a specified time window, we introduce an error. As used herein, the term “error” refers to a period of time. By introducing error, we effectively and dynamically widen the time-box to distribute the refresh activity.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709219

Abstract:

A system, method, service, and program storage device implementing a method of transferring data, wherein the method comprises arranging a plurality of peer systems in a computer network; coupling at least one data server preferably comprises data to the plurality of peer systems, wherein the plurality of peer systems comprise a first peer system and at least one second peer system; the first peer system instructing the at least one second peer system to collaboratively transfer the data from the at least one data server to the first peer system; and the at least one second peer system transferring the data from the at least one data server to the first peer system. The plurality of peer systems is preferably grid enabled.

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

715758, 715752, 709204, 709206, 7071041

Abstract:

A context enhanced messaging and collaboration system in which resources related to the context of text messages may be automatically identified and exchanged between users in association with the text messages, is provided. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for instant messaging between client devices. The GUI operates in conjunction with a context analysis engine that automatically analyzes the context of the textual messages being exchanged between the users and retrieves resources that correspond to the detected context. Representations of these automatically identified resources may be presented to the user via the GUI. The user of the GUI may enter text messages into the GUI and may select individual ones of the retrieved resources for transmission in association with the text messages. Furthermore, an automated mechanism may be used to select resources to attach to individual text messages entered by the user.

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

713180

Abstract:

A system and method of performing cooperative non-repudiated message exchange from a first system to a second system in a computer network comprises checking for discrepancies between a current system time in the second system with an actual time; performing a time synchronization process to match the current system time with the actual time; exchanging public encryption keys between the first and second systems; sending a digitally signed message from the first system to the second system; decoding the digitally signed message; sending a digitally signed acknowledgment message from the second system to the first system; decoding the digitally signed acknowledgment message; and committing text of the digitally signed message to an official transcript on the first system.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707748, 707758, 706 12, 706 13, 706 14

Abstract:

An apparatus for managing outputs of a first application and a second application is provided. Each application is operable to execute on a data processing system and output of the first application is executed on the data processing system. The apparatus comprises a classifier for associating the first application and the second application with classification data, wherein the classification data is stored in a classification data structure; a comparator for comparing the classification data associated with the first application and the second application with the classification data structure to determine a priority; and a generator, responsive to determination of the priority, for generating metadata associated with at least one of: the output of the first application and the output of the second application.

Appl. No.:

11/043738

Inventors:

Brian D. Goodman - New York NY, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 12/00
G06F 13/00

US Classification:

711133, 711100, 711154

Abstract:

We provide exemplary systems and methods using structured markup to define objects with cache controls. Examples of structure markup include Extensible Markup Language (“XML”) and Standard Generalized Markup Language (“SGML”). A cache control structure (i. e. , the XML-schema) can be added to a variety of levels or layers of granularity in the object. XML data binding, which is the process of converting XML-schema to native object code, may provide an application access to the cache controls of an object. The XML-schema may be accessed using a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”), for example, for convenient remote access.
