Task Computing computer system by segmenting the system into a plurality of implementation tiers of a presentation layer, a remote procedure call programming interface (API), a middleware layer to which the presentation layer interfaces via the remote procedure call API to real-time, dynamically generate a computer implemented task interface at the presentation layer to a semantically described source of function as a service on a computer system, and a service layer and a function source realization layer providing the semantically described source of function as the service on the computer system to which the middleware layer interfaces. Real-time and dynamically composing an executable task that comprises one or more services using the generated task interface at the presentation layer to one or more services on the computer based upon the semantically described application-, device- and service-rich computer.

Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for dynamically integrating software resources (such as web services and other back-end software resources) using the services of a content framework (such as a portal platform). A portlet model is leveraged to allow programmatic portlets to serve as proxies for web services, thereby extending portlets beyond their traditional visual role. A deployment interface and a system interface are described for these portlet proxies. The deployment interface is used for composing new web services, and a composition tool is described. The system interface allows for run-time management of the web services by the portal platform. The service provider for a particular function may be bound to the portlet proxy at development time or at run-time.

The present invention is directed toward a computer implemented method and device for configuring a user agent (e.g., a web browser) to act as a web server, and host services to be available to the end users of other user agents (e.g., web browsers) acting as clients. Such services may be provided by executing web widgets written in a scripting language, or provided as simple HTML services. The present invention further provides various techniques (e.g., Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal) for allowing requests for a service to pass to the user agent acting as a server, by making such requests appear to a firewall as responses to an initial request made by the user agent.

In one embodiment, a computer system configures an online service to function as a service delivery platform, where the online service includes a plurality of service delivery platform components configured to process inputs received from services that are to be hosted by the online service. The computer system receives an indication that a service is to be hosted using the online service, where the indication includes a service configured for hosting by the online service and a portion of use information indicating how the service delivery platform components are to be used to host the service for various computer clients. The computer system processes the portion of use information received with the indication to configure the service delivery platform components in an appropriate manner for hosting the service and provides the hosted service to computer clients in the appropriate manner as determined by the accessed use information.

A method for improving the performance of functions-as-a-service including receiving a first function call including a first argument, performing a first function responsive to the first argument including by the first function call, producing a first function result, generating a first precomputation argument that differs from the first argument responsive to the first function call, executing a first persistent function responsive to the first precomputation argument, the persistent function including performing at least one precomputation operation, the at least one precomputation operation including performing the first function responsive to the first precomputation argument, producing a first precomputation result, storing the first precomputation result, receiving a second function call including a second argument, comparing the second argument to the first precomputation argument, and upon determining the second argument is identical to the first precomputation argument, transmitting the first precomputation result from a source of the second function call.

An idle-mode service system, and more particularly, to a service system in which a personal computer is used as peer to peer (P2P) / WEB to phone (W2P) to provide contents on the idle-mode screen of a mobile communication terminal is provided. A system of providing contents information on the idle-mode screen of a mobile communication terminal using a personal computer that functions as a server comprises an on line portal server for providing contents to a personal computer through a communication network, a personal computer in which contents extraction / conversion programs for extracting contents from the on line portal server to convert the extracted contents to be displayed on the idle-mode screen of the mobile communication terminal are built, and a mobile communication terminal for receiving the contents from the personal computer to display the received contents on the idle-mode screen.

A system for providing a function as a service (FaaS) is provided. The system includes a communicator which receives a request for setting resources to execute the function, a memory which stores one or more instructions, and a processor. The processor executes the stored instructions. When the processor executes the instructions, it analyzes characteristics of the function and provides recommendation information related to the setting of the resources to execute the function based on a result of the analyzing.

The invention discloses a cloud remote collaborative office data protection system and method. The invention relates to the field of communication technology, and solves the problem that the existing technology cannot realize simultaneous login and cooperative work of multiple computers, and there is a risk of single point failure. The system includes: a server, an interconnection device, and multiple clients. The client accesses the server in C / S mode, shares the resources of the server, and realizes collaborative office and data sharing on the server; the interconnection device can realize one-click VPN connection between the client and the server, and store the current online client Information, sort multiple clients according to the order of the time when the client accesses the server from early to late. The server synchronizes the data of the server to multiple clients every preset time period. When the server cannot provide services, it starts from the first online client connected to the server in a polling manner, so that Multiple clients take turns to act as the server and take over the functions of the server.

A meshed virtual private network system includes L junction nodes each including a device being capable of making a radio VPN communication and each being registered in advance, wherein L is an integer equal to or greater than 2, and a database, the meshed virtual private network system making communication to a receiver node from a sender node through the junction nodes, each of the junction nodes being capable of acting as a VPN server by carrying out predetermined steps.

A method for operating a communication network includes at least two radio access networks (10-1, 10-2) in which a user equipment (12) can simultaneously be registered and, for each of the at least two radio access networks (10-1, 10-2), a serving entity (14-1, 14-2) in the control plane. The method including the steps of assigning (s16) a master role to one serving entity (14-2) and a slave role to the other serving entity (14-1) or entities; and when a serving entity (14-1) to which a slave role is assigned has to perform control plane signalling (s18), transmitting (s20), by the serving entity, a signalling message to the serving entity (14-2) to which the master role is assigned, so as to perform (s22) the control plane signalling Servers acting as serving entities, systems including such servers, and computer programs executable on the servers are also disclosed.
