A particular method includes discovering a first component and a second component of a distributed computing environment, where the first component and the second component are associated with different discoverable technologies. Each component is discovered based on a match between a characteristic of the component and a technology specification associated with the discoverable technology. The method also includes discovering a dependency between the first component and the second component. | 09-23-2010 |
20100251263 | MONITORING OF DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS - Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for monitoring a distributed application. A particular method identifies a plurality of components of a distributed application. The method also identifies a specific technology associated with a particular component and attaches a technology specific interceptor to the particular component based on the identified specific technology. The method includes intercepting messages that are sent by or received by the particular component using the technology specific interceptor. At least one potential work item is generated based on the intercepted messages. The method includes determining whether to schedule the at least one potential work item for execution based on a predicted impact of the at least one work potential item on performance of the distributed application. | 09-30-2010 |
20140282406 | AUTOMATIC RISK ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE - Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing automatic risk analysis of software. An automatic risk analyzer may determine correlations between binaries of the software and source files of the software, between the source files and functions (i.e., sub-routines) of the software, between changes to source code of the software and defects, new features, and/or feature enhancements in the software, between attributes of the software (e.g., attributes associated with the changes to the source code), etc. at various time instances. The automatic risk analyzer may compare the correlations corresponding to a first time instance and the correlations corresponding to a second time instance to determine any of a variety of temporal relationships regarding underlying factors, including but not limited to new feature(s), feature enhancement(s), defect(s), churn rate, code coverage, code complexity, etc. The automatic risk analyzer may determine risk(s) for the software based on the temporal relationships. | 09-18-2014 |

20090327300 | MANIFEST-BASED ENHANCED PRESENCE PUBLISHING - Architecture that facilitates the formalization of contracts across multiple points of presence of a given user so that the multiple presence points can harmoniously publish presence. Enhanced presence publishing rules are formalized as a contract by all the endpoints of a given infoworker. An infoworker can signed on from different releases of software endpoints and to have a consistent presence experience. The infoworker can modify the publishing rules contract in a discoverable fashion by the other infoworker software endpoints. A container contract is provided having default container memberships (presence levels) and static publications. The rules associated with setting and verifying consistency of the default presence store container memberships (presence levels) is formalized. Additionally, the rules associated with making static publications at first time software endpoint registration and verifying consistency of the static publications at subsequent endpoint bootstrapping are formalized. | 12-31-2009 |
20090328062 | SCALABLE AND EXTENSIBLE COMMUNICATION FRAMEWORK - An extensible communication framework is presented that provides a standard, reusable implementation of common code for adding new modes of communication to a unified communications application. The framework loosely couples the signaling and media plane of unified communications to enable the two planes to be separated onto different computer systems or processes and to allow application writers to extend only the portion where they want to add new functionality. Thus, the extensible communication framework provides flexibility without excessive complexity. | 12-31-2009 |
20100024044 | SPECIFYING RIGHTS IN A DIGITAL RIGHTS LICENSE ACCORDING TO EVENTS - A digital license specifies rights with regard to corresponding digital content, and in particular specifies at least one event and for the at least one event at least one of a condition precedent to allowing the event to proceed and an action to be taken once the event has occurred. To respond to a request for an event from a rendering application with regard to the content, event code corresponding to the event is located in the license, and the condition within the event code is evaluated. If evaluated as true, the requested event is allowed to proceed, whereby the rendering application performs the event, and the action within the event code is executed. If evaluated as false, the requested event is denied. | 01-28-2010 |
20110179107 | Parking and Un-Parking of Conversations in Multiple Modalities - A park request is received from a first computing system. The park request is a request to park a conversation between a user of the first computing system and a user of a second computing system. The park request conforms to a protocol that supports parking and unparking of conversations having a first modality and conversations having a second modality. Furthermore, an unpark request is received from a third computing system. The unpark request is a request to unpark the conversation. Referral information is sent to the third computing system. The referral information enables the third computing system to establish a communication session to carry the conversation. | 07-21-2011 |
20130239005 | TECHNIQUES FOR REMOTE PRESENCE SUBSCRIPTION - Techniques for remote presence subscription are described. In an embodiment, a technique may include presenting a view interface to a client, where the client user may select what kind of presence information, and for whom, they would like to receive. The techniques may further comprise receiving a selection of presence data through the view interface from the client; creating a view from the selection at a web service; translating the view into a request having a protocol useable by a presence server to retrieve information for the view; requesting and receiving the information for the view using the request; and providing the information for the view to the client. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 09-12-2013 |
20140244721 | REAL-TIME COMMUNICATIONS USING A RESTLIKE API - A computing device executes a client-side instance of an application that supports bi-directional real-time synchronous communication and real-time asynchronous communication with a server computing device by way of an application programming interface (API) that conforms to representative state transfer (RESTlike) design principles. An eventing framework on the server computing device is used to aggregate updates to resources on the server that are requested by the client computing device, and is further used to transmit metadata to the client computing device that indicates which updates are available. Real-time sensitive updates are included in the metadata, and the client computing device can decide when and how to retrieve other available updates. An asynchronous operation is modeled on the server computing device by an operation resource that can modify other resources on the server computing device and cause updates regarding status of the operation to be sent to the client computing device. | 08-28-2014 |
20140244818 | RESTLIKE API THAT SUPPORTS A RESILIENT AND SCALABLE DISTRIBUTED APPLICATION - An application distributed amongst plurality of computing devices leverages an application programming interface that conforms to a representational state transfer architecture in order to provide resilient services to clients and adapt to a change in availability of devices. A proxy server routes communications between clients and servers, detects when a server becomes unavailable, and reroutes communications to a replacement server. A registration database on the proxy server records entries for clients, such that communications can be routed to active devices of a user. | 08-28-2014 |
