A controller is provided for a Cloud based service handling multiple types of traffic in a telecommunications network, the controller comprising: a first stage configured to automatically model use of Cloud resources allocated to the service for specific workloads of each of a plurality of traffic types, so as provide a variety of models for each traffic type; a second stage configured to automatically reduce the number of and generalise the models so as to provide generalised models for each traffic type applicable to other workloads than the specific loadings; a third stage configured to automatically evaluate accuracy of the generalised models for various combinations of given workloads, in each combination each of the given workloads being of a corresponding traffic type, and to select one of the generalised models dependent upon evaluated accuracy; and a fourth stage configured to control operation of the Cloud resources according to the selected model.

Controller for a cloud based service in a telecommunications network, and a method of providing a cloud based service

The invention concerns a method for transmitting data via a data link in a computer network, wherein a device at an endpoint of a section of said data link is selected () from devices of said computer network, a computer program adapted to process said data, is transferred () to said device and said data is processed () by said device by executing said computer program.

Method, a system, a server, a device, a computer program and a computer program product for transmitting data in a computer network

The invention concerns a computer software product comprising a plurality of peers () adapted to participate in a peer-to-peer network where the computer software product comprises detection means for detecting actual presence information of a peer and where the computer software product comprises retrieval means for retrieving actual information about the peer, where the detection means is located on neighbor partner peer () of the peer () for detecting continuously whether the peer provides still actual information and the computer software product comprises propagation means for outdating the information about this peer in case of detecting that the peer is not alive. The invention further concerns a network device and a method therefore.

Distributed presence management in peer-to-peer networks

A method for retrieving content of a distributed directory of a telecommunication system comprising a plurality of nodes arranged in a directed ring topology, the method comprising the steps of identifying a storage location of said content by means of a distributed hashing function, where the hashing function maps an element onto a node, where the node is responsible carrying elements with a hash value between the node and its successor node. The invention further concerns a corresponding computer software product, telecommunication device, and a telecommunication system.

Distributed hashing mechanism for self-organizing networks

An initiating processing unit is normally occupied during the programming of flash EEPROMs. The time of occupation becomes ever longer with increasing age and degree of utilization of the flash EEPROMs. Here, the processing unit uses an initiatable interrupt routine, which triggers a programming of the flash EEPROM and is then terminated in order to use the programming to further process a main program at the same time. A timer function in a processing unit is used to trigger an interrupt routine. The interrupt routine checks the initial conditions and in the case when an initial condition has been fulfilled, the programming of the flash EEPROM is triggered, whereupon the execution of the main program continues in the processing unit during the programming.

Method and a device for performing a flash EEPROM

A method of operating a flash memory which can be recorded in 'byte' o in 'word' form, but can only be erased in blocks, is disclosed. A memory optimization algorithm is used where the degree of filling of the individual blocks in the flash memory is determined and compared to a threshold. According to the degree of filling, data are shifted to the end of the memory, or it is determined whether an entire block can be erased, or whether copying can take place into open areas of blocks within the memory so that an entire block can be erased, or whether files can be temporarily stored in areas marked for erasure and reconstructed after the block has been erased, or if files can be overwritten to areas marked for erasure by means of a linkage. In the event that optimization is not possible, a user inquiry may be made.

Creation of an all-digital answering set with voice control, which is able to perform a multitude of functions. The software for performing functions is subdivided into individual software modules which execute sub functions. These can be used in multiple ways and are integrated into a digital signal processor (DSP) of the answering set.
