The invention includes a system, apparatus, and method for storing media content within a service provider network. The system includes multi-service servers associated with access points adapted to allow end-user devices to access the service provider network. Each multi-service server includes a common storage partition adapted for storing media content and a plurality of end-user storage partitions adapted for maintaining associations to media content. The system includes media servers that communicate with the multi-service servers for providing media content to the multi-service servers. In response to a request for media content received from one of a plurality of end-user devices, the requested media content stored in the common storage partition is associated with a selected one of the end-user storage partitions associated with the end-user. The request for media content is received in response to end-user directed advertisements received at any of the plurality of end-user devices.

Method and apparatus for managing multimedia content

A practical language for writing analysis and transformation tools for C/C++ and other languages is provided. This language, YATL, is imperative in style and designed to be easy to use for someone familiar with the grammar of the target language. It allows the developer to describe transformations with reference to elements of the target grammar through a pluggable personality to a compiler. This provides the means for powerful, yet easy to write, transformation programs, while fundamentally remaining language agnostic.

Yet another transformation language (YATL)

A front end component and a technique are provided. The front end component allows a transformation rule writer to specify syntax structure of interest, as well as what action to take when a syntax structure of interest is found. Example syntax structures include function call, variable declaration, math expression, etc. Typical actions include matching, replacement, or copying. The technique allows transformation tool writers to translate the specification into actual query and manipulation commands on the program representation. It is structured to be target language agnostic and, therefore, can be easily re-targeted to different programming languages.

Technique for constructing syntax-directed search and modifications in program transformation systems

A method for handling preprocessing in source code transformation creates a semantically correct view of a program being transformed. This semantically correct view is called a transformed form and it is capable of being parsed with a regular grammar. The original use of preprocessing macros is determined, including their relationship to the transformed form and the preprocessing is reconstructed in the modified source code.

Method for handling preprocessing in source code transformation

A method and apparatus for optimizing a distributed polling system in a network comprising a plurality of nodes. The method includes identifying bandwidth constraints on polling traffic for each of the plurality of nodes. Selecting, from a plurality of unpolled nodes within the plurality of nodes, at least one poller node according to a maximum number of unpolled nodes assignable to each of the at least one poller node without violating bandwidth constraints, and respectively assigning the unpolled nodes as pollee nodes to the at least one poller node. The apparatus includes a central manager and a plurality of pollee nodes coupled to at least one poller node via at least one routing path. At least one aggregating node is coupled to the at least one poller nodes, where the aggregating node is further coupled to the central manager.
