Various embodiments for identifying data in a data deduplication system, by a processor device, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises efficiently identifying duplicate data in the data deduplication system by identifying fingerprint matches using a direct inter-region fingerprint lookup to search for the fingerprint matches in at least one of a plurality of metadata regions, the direct inter-region fingerprint lookup supplementing a central fingerprint index.

Direct lookup for identifying duplicate data in a data deduplication system

An invention is disclosed for improved computer system management by allowing complex computer-monitored events to be handled in different formats for correlation, analysis and action. Specifically, a method and system are disclosed for processing multiple heterogeneous event types in a complex event processing (CEP) engine.

Processing multiple heterogeneous event types in a complex event processing engine

An electronic device for executing an application includes: application data, a central control unit for processing the application data according to a first method call, an interface for transmitting a description of the first method call to a second electronic device, and a synchronization entity for generating the description and passing the description to the interface. The transmitted description is used by the second electronic device to derive a second method call that is executable on the second electronic device.

Processing application data

The invention provides a method, system, and program product for dispatching an event to a rule. In one embodiment, the invention includes generating a table from a rule set, wherein the table includes an indication of whether each rule in the rule set corresponds to at least one event type; receiving an event; in the case that a plurality of rules in the rule set correspond to an event type of the event, dispatching the event to the plurality of rules; determining that the event should not be processed by at least one of the plurality of rules; and terminating the dispatching of the event.

Methods, system and apparatus are provided for advertising service offerings in a communication system. An example embodiment comprises at least one device. A first device broadcasts a message of a first type, chooses a value for a time limit and listens for a message sent by a second device. If no message has been received before time limit, elapse, it again broadcasts a message of a first type. Otherwise, the message received from said second device is analyzed and if said message includes valid information about said first device chooses a value for the time limit. However, if said message received does not include valid service description about said first device, a message of a second type is broadcast. This reduces useless broadcast of a complete service list. Broadcast may be initiated more often and, service discovery for new devices coming into proximity takes less time.

Method and device for prompt and efficient service discovery in wireless networks

A method and apparatus for controlling a computer device with a limited user-interface via a remote computer device having a more powerful user interface. Both computer devices are interconnected via a wireless communication channel and both computer devices support a common communications protocol. User-interface information is sent from the computer device with a limited user-interface to the remote computer device to provide a user-interface at the remote computer device for receiving user input at the remote computer device. The user input controls the computer device with a limited user-interface to execute commands therein corresponding to the user input.

A method of establishing a trustworthiness level of a participant in a communication connection between a first communication partner and a second communication partner is proposed whereby the communication behavior is adapted to the established trustworthiness level. The participant is equipped with a trustworthiness certificate and a therefrom separated securely stored participant private key. The first communication partner receives the trustworthiness certificate from the participant wherefrom the trustworthiness level is derived and established. The first communication partner tests whether the trustworthiness certificate belongs to the participant by using the participant private key. In case the trustworthiness certificate is confirmed by the test to belong to the participant, the first communication partner communicates the established trustworthiness level to the second communication partner. Then, at least one parameter of the communication behavior is chosen in dependence of the established trustworthiness level.

Scheme and apparatus ( ) for distinguishing services offered by a service-providing device in adjacency of the apparatus ( ) from services offered by a service-providing device not being in the apparatus' adjacency. All devices&mdash;including the apparatus&mdash;are part of a wireless local network. The apparatus ( ) maintains a record with information about services and associated identifiers as well as a list of identifiers about the service-providing devices. The associated identifiers and the list of identifiers are compared to determine an associated service as being in adjacency of the apparatus if it is rendered by a service-providing device being listed in the list of identifiers. An associated service is determined as not being in adjacency of the apparatus if it is rendered by a service-providing device not being listed in the list of identifiers. The apparatus ( ) comprises a network interface ( ) for wireless communication with the service-providing devices, and a service discovery module ( ) which maintains the record with information services and associated identifiers.
