20130124609 | PROVIDING IMAGE DATA TO A CLIENT DISPLAY DEVICE - Providing display information to a client display device communicating with a plurality of servers is disclosed. Each of the servers provides a pre-assigned partial region of an overall image for display on the client display device. The client display device sends a request to each server via a multicast or broadcast communication channel. The request includes an identification of a plurality of partial regions of an image to be displayed on the client display device. The client display device receives image data from each server that is assigned to generate image data for partial regions identified by the client. Each of such servers asynchronously provides the image data for its pre-assigned partial region by sending the image data over one or more respective data communication channels to the client display device, in accordance with the request sent to each server via the communication channel. | 2013-05-16 |

The server may update a user profile to indicate that a functional extension was received from a user operating the client device and, additionally, may transmit the functional extension to the second client device when the server receives an indication that the user is operating the second client device. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124701 | METHOD, ARRANGEMENT AND PROGRAM FOR EFFICIENT CONFIGURATION OF NETWORK NODES - A method for configuration of a plurality of network nodes for use with a network includes: for each network node of the plurality of network nodes in a first step, assigning, by the network, a preliminary Internet Protocol link to the network node; in a second step, transmitting, by the network, preliminary configuration parameters to the network node; and in a third step, using, by the network node, the preliminary configuration parameters to retrieve, by using a standardized naming convention in a request to the configuration server entity, additional configuration information, wherein the additional configuration information comprises at least one of a vendor- or technology-specific commissioning file. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124702 | Method and System For Network Configuration And/Or Provisioning Based On Metadata - Disclosed are various embodiments for configuring a virtual machine. A template for a virtual machine may be generated. The template may include metadata that references data for port profiles for the virtual machine. The template for the virtual machine may be stored in a template repository, and the data for the port profiles may be stored in a port profile database that is separate from the template. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124703 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SETTING UP GATEWAY FOR AUTOSAR-BASED VEHICLE NETWORK - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for setting up a gateway for an AUTOS AR-based vehicle network. The apparatus for setting up the gateway includes a candidate selection unit for selecting an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) connected to at least two communication clusters, from among a plurality of ECUs, as a gateway candidate, and a gateway generation unit for generating a gateway instance with reference to the ECU selected by the candidate selection unit, and generating a gateway meta-model including the gateway instance based on instance generation input values entered by a user. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124704 | RELEASING COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS IN A NETWORKED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - Embodiments of the present invention relate to the release of computing infrastructure components (e.g., hardware, software, combinations thereof, etc.) from a networked computing environment for potential use by another networked computing environment. In a typical embodiment, a computing infrastructure component is identified from set of computing infrastructure components associated with a networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether the computing infrastructure component can be released from the networked computing environment. Then, responsive to the determination, the computing infrastructure component may be released from the networked computing environment. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124705 | MANIFOLD PROXY FOR GENERATING PRODUCTION SERVER LOAD ACTIVITY ON TEST MACHINE(S) - A method of replicating on a test server a production load of a production server. The method can include creating the production load on the production server by processing client requests received from clients. The method further can include, while the client requests are processed, via a processor, in real time, replicating the production load to generate a replicated production load that represents the client requests and defines state information representing unique states formed between the production server and the respective clients. The method also can include, in real time, communicating the replicated production load in order to replicate the production load on the test server. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124706 | SCALABLE NETWORKED DEVICE DYNAMIC MAPPING - Technologies are generally described for providing a system of scalable networked devices that may be mapped employing a naming convention that enables an optimized route to the devices through device search algorithms for network-connected and non-network connected devices. The naming convention and corresponding algorithms may enable users to search for a desired functionality, access suitable scalable networked device(s), and utilize the desired functionality. Furthermore, a spider algorithm may be employed to continuously map and update a mesh of scalable networked devices. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124707 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLOW MANAGEMENT IN SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKS - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for facilitating flow definition management in a switch. During operation, the system identifies a generic flow definition which specifies a flow that is not specific to any input port of a switch. The system further stores in a flow lookup data structure one or more port-specific flow rules based on the generic flow definition, wherein each port-specific flow rule corresponds to a respective port capable of processing data flows. | 2013-05-16 |
20130124708 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVE COMPOSITE SERVICE PATH MANAGEMENT - A system for adaptive composite service path management includes a service path control function module configured to search for and select component services according to a template of a composite service and generate a service chain and a service path on the basis of collected contexts from user, service and network. A service binding module is configured to call the component services according to the service path and execute the template of the composite service. | 2013-05-16 |
