A method, system and computer program product for providing a service to multiple tenants of an application. Responsive to receiving from a client of a tenant a request, a tenant context of the tenant is bound to the request. With respect to an access to an isolation point of the application in the request, the access to the isolation point is redirected to a partition based on the tenant context bound to the request. The partition may be pre-established for the tenant with respect to the application. Hence, it is possible to provide a multi-tenant solution in a convenient, fast, and cost-effective way, and, in turn, to achieve resource sharing to a greater extent and enhance the resource efficiency.

The invention discloses a method for real-time reserving of a parking space of a parking lot based on parking space prediction and parking selection. The method comprises the steps: carrying out the long-time prediction of unoccupied parking spaces of a parking lot nearby a destination in preset arrival time, and carrying out the selection of the parking lot under the consideration of the occupancy of the parking spaces, parking charge and walk distance of the parking lot, so as to select a to-be-reserved parking lot.

The method can iron out the defects that a conventional strategy has no unoccupied parking space risk and is low in resource efficiency, facilitates the increase of probability that there is still an unoccupied parking space when a user arrives at the parking lot, reduces the parking searching, improves the utilization efficiency of public parking resources, and improves the urban intelligentization level.

Various embodiments are described herein to address the need to have a method and apparatus that improve the resource efficiency of inter-PDSN (142 to 141) dormant mode handoffs. Promptly after the completion of signaling (218) for PPP connection establishment and MIP registration (if supported), as required for an inter-PDSN dormant mode handoff, an access network (AN) 121 expedites the release of communication resources such as the wireless traffic channel, the SCCP connection, and the A8 bearer connection. Thus, in an inter-PDSN dormant mode handoff the packet data session of an MS (101) is promptly transitioned back to the dormant packet data state. This enables communication resources to be freed for other calls and / or handoffs in a more timely manner than is enabled today.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for scheduling items in a system, such as, but not limited to a computer or communications system. An item is identified and processed. A processing amount (e.g., token bucket, deficit, or any other measure of allowed processing) is decreased by a value.
