In an approach for determining temporal solar capacity navigation routes, a computer receives navigation criteria navigation criteria that includes at least a starting location, a destination, a date, a time, and a temporal solar capacity. The computer determines one or more navigation routes based on the received navigation criteria. The computer creates a temporal solar capacity navigation map based on the received navigation criteria. The computer determines one or more suggested navigation routes from the determining one or more navigation routes based on the created temporal solar capacity navigation map.

Temporal solar capacity navigation

A computer-implemented method for automated service management includes identifying a period of time to perform a service on a transporter, wherein the transporter is one of: a vehicle, an aircraft, a watercraft, or a rail based transportation. A first location within a vicinity of the transporter is identified, wherein the vicinity is based at least in part on a known location of the transporter. The transporter is instructed to relocate to the first location and responsive to the computer determining the service of the transporter is complete, the transporter is instructed to relocate to the known location.

Automated service management

Resources are retrieved asynchronous through the use of resource requests to a feed server. When the feed server returns an initial requested resource, a URI for a next resource is sent to the requesting subscriber. The URI for the next resource was pre-generated by the feed server before the next resource was created, thus allowing the subscriber to have a pending asynchronous resource request at the feed server. This resource request persists on the feed server until the new resource becomes available.

HTTP-based publish-subscribe service

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to multi-source messaging and provide a method, system and computer program product for sequencing multi-source messages for delivery to multiple destinations. In one embodiment, a multi-source message synchronization data processing system can be provided. The system can include a common clock and a message server configured for communicative coupling to a multiple message sources, each message source including a corresponding clock synchronized with the common clock. Multi-source message sequencing logic can be coupled to the message server and can include program code enabled to concatenate different message sequences produced by different ones of the message sources into a unified message sequence based upon timestamps applied by the message sources to messages in respective ones of the message sequences.

Sequencing multi-source messages for delivery as partial sets to multiple destinations

A mediation server assigns customized 'plug-ins' to particular network access servers (NAS) that allow a service provider application to use a single interface to communicate with multiple types of NASs. Vendor specific details of NAS transaction processing are hidden in the customized plug-ins implementations in which a service provider application has no knowledge of such transaction processing information. The mediation server extracts a user identifier from a call request, and uses the user identifier to select a mediation handler plug-in. The mediation server then uses the mediation handler plug-in to communicate with a particular NAS. In addition, a RADIUS server uses a NAS identifier to assign a RADIUS handler plug-in to a NAS session, and uses the assigned RADIUS handler plug-in to communicate with the NAS.

Multi-vendor mediation for subscription services

A system and method for deploying a resource over a content-specific session is provided. A client requests a resource from a service provider, such as an ISP. The service provider provisions the order and records the order in a data store. A service login identifier is created with attributes, such as bandwidth, that correspond to the requested resource, such as a movie or network accessible storage. The client logs into the service provider using the service login identifier and the client's normal password. The service login is authenticated and a session is established using the attributes that correspond to the requested resource. The client is directed to the requested resource by using a resource URL that was provided by the service provider, such as a URL to a requested movie or network accessible storage.

System and method for service development over content-specific sessions

A system with a network interconnecting a server and a plurality of user stations. The server stores a plurality of user applications for downloading to user stations and further stores access permissions for the applications for each user. When a user attempts to log onto the system, the server uses the user's log-on identifier to build a list of applications for which the user has access permission. The server downloads to the station a list of applications to which the user has access permission. The user station uses the list to build a folder containing only the applications from the list to which the user has access permission. The system further verifies from the list that the user has access to applications that are represented by objects that the user may have added to his or her desktop at an earlier time. For each user desktop preference specified by the user at an earlier time that corresponds to a user application, the access permission for the user to the user application is checked from the list, and, if the application is not included on the list, the desktop object representing the application is removed from the desktop.
