The systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products described herein provide the capability for an entity to identify and autonomously contract via a blockchain database with an unknown and anonymous host device for access rights to a high volume raw data stream generated by a sensor of the host device. The systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products further provide the capability for the entity to push or upload a software module to the host device to allow the entity to process the high volume raw data stream into a low volume data stream directly on the host device, i.e., at the source of the high volume raw data stream.

Nested recovery scope management systems and methods for a multiple process computer system having a dynamic multiple address space server are disclosed. Stateless recovery agents are employed, under the control of a supervisory program called Recovery Director, during initialization or restart of servers to restore recoverable data in response to identified failures or other abnormal termination. The Director controls the recovery of protected resources in a systematic manner. The Director is initialized when a first address space of a first server is started. Then, as each instance of a recoverable component is initialized, the component registers with the Director by providing a reference to a stateless recovery agent that can later perform recovery functions for it if needed. As part of the registration, a token representing the current failure scope of the registration is generated and provided to the recoverable component by the Director.

Nested recovery scope management for stateless recovery agents

A pattern-based policy method for service component architecture (SCA) defines a policy pattern for SCA. The policy pattern includes a plurality of roles and one or more constraints between said plurality of roles. Each of said plurality of roles defines a plurality of intents or policy sets or combination thereof. One or more roles assigned to said one or more SCA components are identified and one or more intents or policy sets or combination thereof associated with said one or more roles are automatically applied to said one or more SCA components. Said one or more intents or policy sets or combination thereof applied to said one or more SCA components are validated based on said one or more constraints.

Pattern-based policy application mechanism for SCA

A method of dynamically generating stateless session beans (EJBs) during installation of a Service Component Architecture (SCA) composite to expose simple SCA POJO components to Java EE callers. During SCA composite installation, an installation utility receives an installation request for a SCA composite with a simple POJO service. If EJB service binding is defined, the installation utility collects data from a service interface to generate a corresponding bean interface and implementation classes. Generic EJB home, bean and interface class templates are pre-defined using EMF JET templates. Data collected from the service interface is fed into pre-defined EMF JET Templates to generate service-specific EJB classes. The installation utility also matches the java interface to the EJB interface to ensure compatibility. Generated bean method has code snippets to delegate calls to SCA components during runtime. Given a simple SCA POJO Service, the installation utility generates Stateless Session bean without Java EE tooling.

An apparatus and system are disclosed for implementing service qualifiers that define on-demand management requirements for a loosely coupled software service in a service component architecture (SCA) for an integration server by associating a service qualifier with one or more of an SCA service reference, an SCA wire, an SCA interface, or an SCA implementation based on an SCA component definition, requiring the integration server to augment an implementation execution for the SCA service to honor the service qualifier; and accepting user modification and definition of declarative service qualifiers. By allowing the association of service qualifiers with SCA service references, SCA wires, SCA interfaces, and SCA implementations, additional quality of service with which components are executed can be maintained.

A method for safely interrupting blocked work in a server including: creating a registry; registering a potential blocking event in the registry; executing the potential blocking event; determining that the potential blocking event is not responding; accessing a registry entry corresponding to the blocking event; and taking an corrective action indicated by the registry entry corresponding to the blocking event.

Method for safely interrupting blocked work in a server

A transactional name server. One or more objects of the name server are managed as transactional objects, thereby providing a transactional name server. Atomic updates are provided in the name server by the addition of transactional semantics. The transactional semantics include making the objects of the name space managed objects and providing a local interface to a directory service that propagates a transactional context from the name server through a directory down to a resource manager.

Transactional name service

A method and apparatus for controlling the number of servers in an information handling system in which incoming work requests belonging to a first service class are placed in a queue for processing by one or more servers. The system also has units of work assigned to a second service class that acts as a donor of system resources. In accordance with the invention, a performance measure is defined for the first service class as well as for the second service class. Before adding servers to the first service class, there is determined not only the positive effect on the performance measure for the first service class, but also the negative effect on the performance measure for the second service class. Servers are added to the first service class only if the positive effect on the performance measure for the first service class outweighs the negative effect on the performance measure for the second service class.
