A system for maintaining an object repository within an object management system where the objects are software constructs and the system provides a set of tools for creating packages of the objects that can be reused as well as monitored as they are changed or recombined. The packages themselves become new objects for the repository to store. The set of relationships within a package is also stored as are any relationships between any of the objects within the object management system object repository.

QoS is built into a peer network within existing Internet infrastructure itself lacking QoS, by enabling a network peer to continuously discern the network's ability to deliver to that peer a particular Content Object (distributed in groups of component Packages among neighboring VOD peers) within predetermined times. Content Objects are divided into groups of component Packages and distributed to Clusters of neighboring network peers, enhancing QoS upon subsequent retrieval. Tracking Files (lists of network peers storing Package groups) and Tracking Indexes (lists of network peers storing Tracking Files) are generated to facilitate “on demand” Content Objects retrieval. Dynamically monitoring network traffic (including VOD functionality, bandwidth and reliability) creates “distributed closed-loop feedback,” and in response, attributes of individual network peers (e.g., Trust Level and membership within a particular Cluster) are modified, and “content balancing” functions performed (e.g., redistribution of Package groups among network peers) enables maintaining high QoS.

The present invention provides systems and methods for dynamic content management, the method including generating content associated with an object, dynamically adjusting the content associated with the object according to a user profile to form a user-defined object-based content package, displaying at least one captured image of the identified object on the device, and uploading the user-defined object-based content package associated with the identified object to the device simultaneously with the displaying step to provide dynamic content to the user on the device.

Described is a system and method in which software images including updates are provided as packages. The package is self-describing, thereby facilitating the replacement of only component parts of an image. A software build process maps operating system features (comprising files, metadata, configuration information and so forth) into the packages, and executable code is processed for relocation purposes. The final package includes a device manifest file that describes the package and conveys dependency information and information about the priority of settings (shadow data).

A software distribution method (300) is proposed. The solution of the invention relates to the deployment (from a source host to selected endpoints) of main packages that require one or more prerequisite packages. In this case, the source host builds (304-326) and transmits (330-332) a multi-segment distribution structure that embeds the main package and any prerequisite package that is not available on at least one of the endpoints. Each endpoint receiving the distribution structure only installs (336-360) the prerequisite packages that are not available on the endpoint. The main package can then be installed (362-366) correctly (with the required configuration of the endpoint)

The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer instructions for mapping and labeling XML schema elements and types. In an exemplary embodiment, each XML schema element and type is uniquely labeled, using distinguishing parameters such as namespace to create name parts like a Hashing code and suffixes in order to achieve unique mapping. The parameters selected are predetermined in order to achieve naming that remains distinct across successive consumptions of a schema. The selection disclosed accomplishes unique labeling, while also permitting one to still adhere to the strict naming standards of the target language (e.g., Java). As a result, schema components belonging to multiple namespaces can be mapped to Java components belonging to a single package.

Techniques for improving a troubleshooting experience by providing a common troubleshooting framework. Such a framework may enable use of common elements between troubleshooters and lead to similarities between troubleshooting packages, which may improve the user experience. Further, a framework may reduce the amount of knowledge and time necessary to create troubleshooting packages, and thus encourage increased development of these troubleshooting packages. In some implementations of the framework, a troubleshooting package may be implemented in a declarative manner that outlines / describes the problems it solves and the potential solutions to those problems. The declarative troubleshooting packages may then be provided to the troubleshooting framework and may provide direction to the framework, in that the framework may execute functions as directed by the troubleshooter.

A system for organizing data in multiple text data files and for automatically parsing data directly into named variables within a single, user-configurable graphical user interface (GUI) or workspace. Results organization, analysis algorithms, and file viewing all take place from within the workspace. No apriori knowledge of the dimensionality or length of data is required. Results may readily be placed into reports. Multiple data files may be processed using batch commands. Metafile capability is provided wherein data within a first level file may be the name of another data file allowing cascaded processing of data files. This unification of a user-configurable workspace, an integrated file viewing method and a parsing method minimizes distraction to a researcher allowing him or her to focus on analysis of experimental data rather than on the mechanics of data processing. The system of methods interacts with third party data analysis application software packages.
