Pushing data to mobile devices can be problematic because mobile platforms may support a number push services, each of which have different cost and reliability characteristics. The problem of being able to push data to multiple different types of mobile devices from a single server is solved by a push service aggregator supporting multiple push services. Upon receiving a push request, one or more push services are selected for pushing data to a client. The selection may be based on a delivery profile included with the push request, information about the client, past performance of the push services, current status of the push services, or combinations of these. The status of the push may be tracked and monitored so as to retry in the case of non-delivery.

A method and system is disclosed for resolving a single server bottleneck. Logically associated data is typically collocated within a single filesystem or a single block device accessible via a single storage server. A single storage server can provide a limited I/O bandwidth, which creates a problem known as “single I/O node” bottleneck. The method and system provides techniques for spreading I/O workload over multiple I/O domains, both local and remote, while at the same time increasing operational mobility and data redundancy. Both file and block level I/O access are addressed.

A system and method for processing form documents across a communications network that includes a first access device, a second access device and a form server is provided that includes the steps of receiving one or more requests from an operator of the first access device to process a form document, determining whether the operator of the first access device is authorized to process the document, receiving one or more responses including information from the first operator to complete the form, receiving one or more requests from an operator of the second access device to process the form document, determining whether the operator of the second access device is authorized process document, and receiving one or more responses from the second operator including information to complete the form. The system may determine whether the operators of the access devices have the proper credentials to access or modify a particular form document or particular section of a form document. The system may require submission of a digital signature by an operator and record the date and time the digital signature was submitted and not permit the form to be modified until an additional digital signature is submitted and an additional date and time recorded.

Execution of a restartable sub-tree of a query execution plan comprises determining whether use of parallel processes is a preferred or optimal mode of executing the sub-tree. The determination is based, at least in part, on how long it takes to restart the sub-tree using two or more parallel processes and/or how long it takes to probe the sub-tree, i.e., to fetch a row that meets one or more conditions or correlations associated with the sub-query, using the two or more parallel processes. Thus, a dynamic computational cost-based operation is described, which determines at query runtime whether to execute the restartable sub-tree using a single server process or multiple parallel server processes.

Methods and systems for out-of-application bytecode instrumentation and performance monitoring of applications, such as globally-distributed applications, decouple (1) acquiring measurements through sensor execution at applications; (2) instrumenting application bytecode with sensor bytecode and buffering and sending measurements at collector nodes; and (3) controlling instrumentation and correlating measurements at a central monitoring node. Collector nodes and applications may employ secured, high bandwidth network connections (e.g., a typical LAN connection). Collector nodes and the central monitoring node may employ non-secured, lower-bandwidth network connections (e.g., a typical WAN connection) and may use encryption and/or compression without burdening the monitored application. Multiple parallel instrumentation engines in collector nodes eliminate the possible instrumentation bottleneck presented by one centralized instrumentation engine in a single server. Moreover, decentralized buffering of monitoring event data allows management of peak measurement loads on the monitoring node.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods of creating and deploying electronic forms for collecting information from a user using a browser, where the browser may be one of a plurality of browser platforms. Characteristics of forms are entered by a human designer using a form designer by using drag-and-drop operations, and stored in XML template files. The form may be previewed by the designer. When a user on the Internet (or an intranet) requests a form by a browser, the characteristics of the browser are sensed and a form appropriate for the browser is deployed to the browser by a form server. Information is then captured from the user. The form may also be saved or printed.

A system that automates the creation of websites for organizations that share similar organizational structure and for which publicly accessible information is available.

Development tools and a methodology for efficient development of distributed web services. A tool tracks changes in packages used to create images deployed for testing. Rather than build a complete image for each change, a current image may be created by substituting changed packages in a previously created image. Another tool allocates components of an image to a number of servers specified by a user of the tool. Such a tool simplifies integration testing of the web service by allowing a developer to initially test a web service on a single server or a small number of servers and then easily scale-up the test environment. The servers may be physical servers or may be virtual servers. Interface rules for packages that constitute the software for the web service are defined to reduce the likelihood of integration problems as the environment is scaled up.
