Software maintenance in software engineering is the modification of a software product after delivery to correct faults, to improve performance or other attributes. A common perception of maintenance is that it merely involves fixing defects. However, one study indicated that over 80% of maintenance effort is used for non-corrective actions. This perception is perpetuated by users submitting problem reports that in reality are functionality enhancements to the system. More recent studies put the bug-fixing proportion closer to 21%.
Methods and apparatus to support dynamic allocation of traffic management resources in a network element
Methods and apparatus to support dynamic allocation of traffic management resources in a network element. Shared pools of traffic management resources comprising an aggregation of local line card resources distributed across the line cards or a network element maintained by apparatus software. Incoming packets are classified into subscriber flows using a hierarchical classification scheme. In view of subscriber services and flow application types, traffic management resources are dynamically allocated from the shared pools, and traffic management policies associated with the subscriber services and application types are applied to the subscriber flows via the allocated resources. In response to detecting a subscriber flow has terminated, the allocated resources are release and made available to be dynamically re-allocated to subsequent subscriber flows.

System and method for real-time generation of software translation
ActiveUS20050050526A1Ensure product consistency across marketAvoid mistakesExecution for user interfacesSpecial data processing applicationsRunning timeText string
A system and method for generating language-translated versions of software include a parsing engine to scan original-language versions of software, and detect textual string or other expressions which may require translation for other countries or markets. After testing for prior translation, those strings may be converted to appropriate expressions in other languages, and for instance stored in paired-memory or other format. Users may download the original version of the software, and then install run-time, language-specific resources to tailor the software to their market or country. The run-time, language-specific resources may be or include resource-only dynamic link libraries (dlls). In embodiments the target language into which translation may be made may be automatically detected using the regional settings of the user's machine, or otherwise. Because translation resources for various sets of languages may be generated before the release of the original code, software products may be deployed in various markets and countries at the same time as the original code. Staggered release of localized versions of a software product in one country after the other is therefore not necessary, and software maintenance is made more efficient.

Data processing apparatus and method for controlling access to secure memory by virtual machines executing on processing circuirty
ActiveUS20090222816A1Software simulation/interpretation/emulationMemory systemsVirtual address spaceMemory systems
A data processing apparatus and method are provided for controlling access to secure memory by virtual machines executing on processing circuitry. The processing circuitry executes hypervisor software to support the execution of multiple virtual machines on the processing circuitry. A memory system is provided for storing data for access by the processing circuitry, the memory system comprising secure memory for storing secure data and non-secure memory for storing non-secure data, the secure memory only being accessible via a secure access request. Address translation circuitry is responsive to an access request issued by a current virtual machine specifying a virtual address, to perform an address translation process to identify a physical address in the memory, and to cause a modified access request to be issued to the memory system specifying the physical address. A trusted virtual machine identifier is maintained and managed by the hypervisor software, with the hypervisor software setting the trusted virtual machine identifier if the current virtual machine is to be trusted to access the secure memory. Accordingly, in response to the access request issued by the current virtual machine, the address translation circuitry is only able to cause the modified access request to be issued as a secure access request specifying a physical address within the secure memory if the trusted virtual machine identifier is set. By such an approach, the hypervisor software is able to support multiple virtual machines at least some of which have access to secure memory under conditions controlled by the hypervisor software.

One-to-many device synchronization using downloaded/shared client software
InactiveUS7613834B1Easy to manageEliminates slow synchronizationDigital data information retrievalMultiple digital computer combinationsComputer hardwareFile synchronization
A method and system for performing one-to-many synchronization using a central server and also using downloadable client software. The system includes a central server, e.g., a web server or an enterprise server, that synchronizes with multiple electronic devices including, for example, a personal digital assistant, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a cell phone, a pager, etc. Before the data synchronization takes place, and after the electronic device initiates communication with the server, the server downloads client software to the electronic device. The client software allows the electronic device to perform data synchronization with the server. After the synchronization is complete, the client software may be removed from the electronic device. The server data is located in one place and can be accessed from any location using almost any electronic device and the data can be readily protected. The invention provides geographically independent synchronization for the same device. The invention reduces the amount of metadata required to perform synchronization, eliminates slow synchronizations and also operates on standard or pre-existing data structures. The shared client software technique also reduces software maintenance and administrative issues and is helpful for application service providers (ASPs).
