20100281165 | METHOD FOR THE LOAD DISTRIBUTION IN A PEER-TO-PEER-OVERLAY NETWORK - A method provides for the even load distribution in a peer-to-peer-overlay network having a plurality of peers, each having an associated keyword region. A data resource to be stored, the keyword thereof being within the keyword region of a peer, is only stored with said peer if the number of data resources stored there has not reached a resource threshold limit. | 11-04-2010 |
20100303089 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A DISTRIBUTED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A method for operating a dezentralized communication network with network nodes is provided. The method is based on protocols in conventional peer-to-peer networks. The method provides rapid searching of resources whereby each network node manages a table containing information regarding all the other network nodes, such that a network that contains the resource is immediately retrieved among the table entries. Furthermore, the table contains device names of technical components on which the network nodes are mapped, so that a technical component is directly addressed also via its device name without use of the search process. | 12-02-2010 |
20120331143 | Method For Operating a Local Area Data Network - A method for operating a local area data network with a plurality of network nodes is disclosed, wherein the network nodes send requests to the data network using request values and each of the network nodes has an associated explicit identifier from a key space. A plurality of network nodes respectively has an associated one or more table entries in a value table distributed over the network nodes. In this case each table entry includes a request value having data associated with the key space and with the request value, the network node being responsible for a request value whose identifier is less than or equal to the request value. For the plurality of network nodes, the frequency with which requests for the request values associated with a respective network node are sent to the respective network node is respectively monitored. If it occurs that the frequency of the requests for one or more request values to a respective network node exceeds a predetermined threshold value then at least the table entry or entries for this or these request values are assigned to at least one other network node which is situated in a request path for the request. | 12-27-2012 |
20130079938 | CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION BASED ON SMART METER DATA - A method and system to determine customer segmentation based on energy consumption patterns is provided. An example system includes a communications module, a clustering module, and a matching module. The communications module obtains energy consumption data in the form of a plurality of value days. The clustering module groups the value days associated with a certain period of time into a set of clusters. The matching module identifies a customer profile as associated with a cluster from the set of clusters based on results of examining value days associated with the customer profile. | 03-28-2013 |
20130080210 | ENERGY BENCHMARKING ANALYTICS - A benchmarking computing application is configured to create a benchmark run for a segment of customer profiles. Customer profiles from the segment include a parameter, termed an adjustment parameter, that may affect energy consumption by the associated customer. The results of the benchmark run include energy consumption values for individual customer profiles in the segment, an average energy consumption value for the entire segment of customer profiles, and also adjustment energy consumption value. The adjustment energy consumption value reflects the portion of energy consumption by a particular customer attributed to the difference between the average value of the adjustment parameter for the segment and the value of the adjustment parameter for the particular customer profile. | 03-28-2013 |
20140351313 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING COMPOSED SERVICES IN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK - A method for providing a service containing facilities in a peer-to-peer network comprising peer devices is provided. The peer devices may be associated with groups, each group being defined by a pre-determined facility. The pre-determined facility may be executed by each peer device associated with a respective group, and a selected peer device of a group executes the respective facility. A sequence of facilities and specifications to be executed is publicized in the peer-to-peer network, on the peer devices executing the respective facility by a peer device requesting the combined service, and the selection of the selected peer devices is carried out according to the publicized sequence and the publicized specifications. | 11-27-2014 |

20080261521 | Monitoring Condition of Network with Distributed Components - In a system having distributed components arranged in a logical ring structure, each component monitors only their respective neighboring component in the structure and the condition of the neighboring component is determined. If a component determines a condition of its neighboring component that corresponds to a predefinable condition, the component informs the other components of the system of the predefined condition of the neighboring component. | 10-23-2008 |
20080313317 | Network Management Using Peer-to-Peer Protocol - A method operates a network management system comprising nodes which are used as manager and/or agent nodes. At least one node communicates with at least one other node using a peer-to-peer protocol. A network management system and a node in a management network system are used to carry out said method. | 12-18-2008 |
20080320163 | Method for Transmitting a Message, Network Node and Network - A method allows message transmission in a peer-to-peer network using chord topology, in which some of the nodes have access protection which allows reception of messages only from those network addresses to which a message has previously been sent. A network such as this is dependent on each node maintaining a list with further nodes, referred to in general as a finger list. In order to allow communication despite access protection, each node sends a request at fixed time intervals to the nodes in its list, to send it a message. This makes it possible for each node to send messages to the nodes in its list. A search request for a file is passed on via intermediate nodes in the network such that the searching node is provided with access to a destination node which can offer the file, and the access protection of the destination node is cancelled. | 12-25-2008 |
20090028165 | Method for Operating a Decentralized Data Network - A decentralized data network contains a plurality of network nodes. The network nodes are able to direct requests into the data network with the aid of checking values. The network nodes are each assigned one or more table entries in a value table distributed between the network nodes, with each table entry containing a checking value and the data associated with the checking value. Each of the plurality of network nodes are monitored to determine the frequency with which requests for the checking values assigned to a respective network node are directed to the respective network nodes. If it is found that the frequency of the requests for one or more checking values to a respective network node exceeds a predetermined threshold value, at least the table entry or entries for this or these checking values is or are assigned to at least one other network node. | 01-29-2009 |
