Improvements in intrusion detection are disclosed by providing integrated intrusion detection services. Preferably, these services are integrated into a system or server that is the potential target of attack. Stack-based security processing is leveraged for access to cleartext data within the layers of the protocol stack. Layer-specific attacks may therefore be processed efficiently. Evaluation of incoming traffic for an intrusion is preferably performed only after an error condition of some type has been detected. This approach reduces the overhead of intrusion detection by reducing the number of packets to be inspected, and at the same time allows more efficient packet inspection through use of context-specific information that may be used to direct the inspection to particular candidate attacks. Generic attack class capability is also disclosed. Intrusion detection policy information may be used to direct the actions to be taken upon detecting an attack.

Systems and methods for providing traders an opportunity to improve prices for an item trading in an active market are provided. After a trader HITS or LIFTS a bid or offer, a market becomes active. When the market is active, traders can submit orders that improve on the price of the current market price of an item. Whenever a price improvement order is currently available for use in a transaction order, a price improvement indicator is displayed to indicate to other traders that price improvement is occurring. When a price improvement order is used to fill a transaction order, a portion of the difference between the market price and the price improvement price may be divided between the trader associated with the price improvement order, the trader associated with the transaction order, and the system host.

One aspect of the present invention provides a workflow model to effectively respond to outage events within an IT infrastructure. This workflow model enables a combination of manual and automated processing to effectively deploy a flexible, plannable, and testable recovery to outages and problems encountered within IT infrastructure settings. In one embodiment, a shared processing context is created to accompany the operations of the workflow, thereby collecting useful data in one location related to events and status information during the outage and the outage response. Within the workflow, analysis of the outage event is performed, an appropriate recovery plan is selected, the selected recovery plan is implemented, and recovery to the outage event is completed. Data collected within the processing context can be analyzed to obtain post mortem analysis and continuous service improvements. Accordingly, the improvements can be implemented within the IT infrastructure directly or within the appropriate recovery plan.

An enhanced broadcast data service with reports locations of traffic enforcement camera locations e.g., red light cameras and speed cameras) to users. Traffic enforcement camera information is aggregated, verified (e.g., particularly as to traffic enforcement camera type) and stored (e.g., at a server). A broadcast signal comprising program channels and at least one data channel having traffic enforcement camera information is transmitted to a plurality of receivers. Receivers store at least a subset of the traffic enforcement camera information available from the server and synchronize to it using periodic transmitted updates. Receivers compare receiver location data with stored camera location data, and display or generate audible alerts when the receiver is within a Selected geographic range of a traffic enforcement camera. Alerts can be filtered as to camera type. A alerts can employ different color camera icons superimposed on a screen map depending on camera type or whether the camera is newly added.

A computer-implemented system and method for executing trades of financial securities according to a combination passive / aggressive trading strategy that reliably executes trades of lists of securities or blocks of a single security within a desired time frame while taking advantage of dynamic market movement to realize price improvement for the trade within the desired time frame. A passive trading agent executes trades at advantageous prices by floating portions of the order at the bid or ask to maximize exposure to the inside market and attract market orders. An aggressive agent opportunistically takes liquidity as it arises, setting discretionary prices in accordance with historical trading data of the specified security.

Alert messages are generated containing a text description of an interruption of service of a component in a networked computer system infrastructure; a service provider identity tag that identifies a type of service provider personnel required to engage the computer system infrastructure and abate or diagnose the service interruption; and one or more component tags that identify a component associated with the service interruption. A message board system posts the generated alert message on a support message board that is accessible by support team service provider professionals, each identified by the service provider identity tag and the component tags. Support team members post different reply messages that each comprise different service provider identity tags, and the message board system broadcasts different simple syndication outputs to different recipients based on their associations with the different respective service provider identity tags.

The invention provides an IT service improvement system comprising a data acquisition unit, a data calculation unit, a judging unit and a display unit, wherein the data acquisition unit is used for acquiring corresponding actual service data according to the service index data set by users; the data calculation unit is used for calculating the difference value between the service index data and the corresponding actual service data; the judging unit is used for judging whether the difference value is a positive value; and the display unit is used for displaying the actual service data and the difference value when the difference value is the positive value. The invention further provides an IT service improvement method. By the technical scheme provided by the invention, the actual service can be analyzed and processed according to the service index set by the users, so that the services which need to be improved and the improvement direction of the services in the IT services can be determined.

The invention discloses a collection and analysis system for a nuclear power plant condenser characteristic test. The collection and analysis system includes: a data acquisition system for obtaining data required for the condenser characteristic test; an IMP collection system for collecting the acquired seawater inlet and outlet Temperature, condensate temperature, back pressure data, and process the collected data; the calculation and analysis system is used to read the data from the IMP acquisition system in real time and receive the nuclear island thermal power, generator electric power and circulating water salt input by the user degree data, and calculate and display the test result data according to the design parameters of the condenser and the received data. The implementation of the technical scheme of the present invention is easy to operate and accurate in analysis, which ensures the analysis and evaluation of the thermal performance of the condenser, so as to ensure the good operation state of the condenser through maintenance and improvement, and then improve the level of safe and economical operation of the unit. Moreover, because the IMP acquisition system is used to collect and process the test data, it is convenient for equipment installation and maintenance.
