20090089440 | PROTOCOL FOR LEASING SOCKETS - A system for establishing a communication session in a networked deployment includes a negotiation between a client application and a service regarding the duration of the communication session. A client application sends a packet or datagram having a load and a request for a communication link. The request for a communication link includes a first proposed interval for a lease term between the client application and the service. The service may accept the first proposed interval and begin processing the load. Alternatively, the service may deny the request or counter-propose a second proposed interval for the communication link. Substantially concurrently with sending the second proposed interval, the service may begin processing the load. | 04-02-2009 |
20110023053 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONSOLIDATING MIDDLEWARE FUNCTIONALITY - A method and server manage a consolidation of multiple middleware threads, by identifying types of a plurality of middleware, selecting a main middleware from the plurality of middleware, and initializing the main middleware as a main middleware thread. The managing also includes identifying other middleware from the plurality of middleware, based on a consolidated middleware functionality, and selecting slave middleware from the identified other middleware. The managing further includes initializing the slave middleware as slave middleware threads by the main middleware thread, such that each initialized slave middleware thread functions independently of the main middleware thread. | 01-27-2011 |
20110119381 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ALLOCATE RESOURCES ASSOCIATED WITH A DISTRIBUTIVE COMPUTING NETWORK - Methods and apparatus to allocate resources associated with a distributive computing network are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving resource allocation information associated with a service that is to be hosted by a distributive computing network, determining a first configuration type and a second configuration type specified within the received resource allocation information, determining at least one configuration group associated with the first configuration type and at least one configuration group associated with the second configuration type, determining physical resources included within the distributive computing network to host the service, electronically allocating the physical resources for the at least one configuration group associated with the first configuration type, electronically allocating the physical resources for the at least one configuration group associated with the second configuration type, and hosting the service within the physical resources in accordance with the allocations. | 05-19-2011 |
20120297073 | Methods And Apparatus To Allocate Resources Associated With A Distributive Computing Network - Methods and apparatus to allocate resources associated with a distributive computing network are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving resource allocation information associated with a service that is to be hosted by a distributive computing network, determining a first configuration type and a second configuration type specified within the received resource allocation information, determining at least one configuration group associated with the first configuration type and at least one configuration group associated with the second configuration type, determining physical resources included within the distributive computing network to host the service, electronically allocating the physical resources for the at least one configuration group associated with the first configuration type, electronically allocating the physical resources for the at least one configuration group associated with the second configuration type, and hosting the service within the physical resources in accordance with the allocations. | 11-22-2012 |
20120331045 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONSOLIDATING MIDDLEWARE FUNCTIONALITY - A server manages middleware communication between the server and a plurality of client terminals through a communication network. The server includes a network interface device that communicates with the plurality of client terminals, storage that stores middleware management operational programs and data, and a processor that executes the middle management operational programs. The server implements a multi-layered marshaling process, which marshals middleware communications between the server and the plurality of terminals, and a consolidated middleware management process, which manages execution of middleware, the multi-layered marshaling process. The consolidated middleware management process is accessible to the plurality of client terminals communicating with the server via a plurality of different types of middleware. | 12-27-2012 |
