20110238686 | CACHING DATA OBTAINED VIA DATA SERVICE INTERFACES - A potential user query that can be subsequently received from a user is identified. An interface exposed by a data service is invoked, which includes providing the potential user query to the interface. Search results in response to the potential user query are received from the interface and maintained in a complex data set store. If a user query is subsequently received that maps to a normalized query that is the potential user query, then search results for the normalized query are obtained from the complex data set store and returned as the search results for the user query. | 2011-09-29 |
20110238687 | METRIC CORRELATION AND ANALYSIS - Techniques for improved metric correlation and analysis include, during a modeling phase, a user familiar with the types of system components deployed in an enterprise network and the metrics available for those types of system components specifying dependencies between metrics in a metric dependency model. During a binding phase, the metric dependency model is provided to a modified enterprise management (MEM) system which binds the model to particular enterprise system environment. During a metric correlation and analysis phase, the MEM system provides a user-interface through which a user visually compares metric data for metrics collected from system components deployed in an enterprise system environment bound to the model. The improved metric correlation analysis techniques allow users to more easily identify whether degradation in the performance of one metric is caused by performance degradation of underlying information technology system components as measured by related metrics specified in the metric dependency model. | 2011-09-29 |
20110238688 | CONTENT DISTRIBUTION USING EMBEDDABLE WIDGETS - A content distribution system allows authors to freely syndicate their content to content distributors in a way that ensures that the author receives appropriate credit for the impact of the content upon readers.

When client requests match a rule, additional request messages are forwarded to the server on behalf of a client application. In response to the additional request messages, the server provides corresponding response messages. A network proxy intercepts and caches the response messages. Subsequent client requests are intercepted by the network application proxy and compared with the cached messages. If a cached response message corresponds with a client request message, the response message is returned to the client application immediately instead of re-requesting the same information from the server. A server-side network proxy can compare client requests with the rules and send additional request messages. The corresponding response messages can be forwarded to a client-side network proxy for caching. | 2011-09-29 |

The script appends a previously established cookie value to the URL originally requested and the browser then re-requests the URL with the appended cookie value. (The server computes the cookie value based on the last modified time of the data used to generate the page.) If the most recent version of the page is in the browser cache, the browser gets a cache hit, which means the page is retrieved from browser cache rather than from the server, rapidly displaying the page to the user. If, on the other hand, there is only an older version of the page in the browser cache, there is a cache miss (because the rewritten URL will not match any URL in the cache) and the browser will send the request to the server to retrieve the most recent version of the page. | 2011-09-29 |
