20080222192 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING INFORMATION USING METABASE - A method and system for application-to-application data exchange provides data conversion from the format of a source application to the format of a target application upon receipt of data by the target application. To achieve compatibility among applications exchanging data, the preferred system uses a standard set of terms (metaterms residing in a metabase) and process names (residing in a process repository) for building metadata packets that inform both applications as to their respective data representation. A metadata packet includes a standard name (metaterm) and application specific data format, as well as an optional associated process name. Source metadata provided in connection with source application-specific data enables the conversion of the source format to the format compatible with the target. This method eliminates data conversion at the source application. This method assures that data conversion/translation is performed only once during an exchange event: that is, upon receipt at the target application. | 09-11-2008 |

20100054118 | SELF-OPTIMIZATION AND SELF-HEALING OF VOICE QUALITY PROBLEMS UTILIZING SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE - A method and system for automatically resolving a voice transmission problem in real time in a communication system. Service oriented architecture (SOA)-based reporter services report voice transmission characteristic measurements. An enterprise service bus aggregates the measurements into a combination of measurements. An analyzer that is a SOA service provider determines that the combination of measurements indicates a voice transmission problem. The voice transmission problem determination includes identifying a match between the combination of measurements and a pattern of predefined conditions stored in a database. The database associates the pattern with one or more corrective actions. Using the database, the analyzer identifies the one or more corrective actions that are associated with the pattern of predefined conditions. SOA-based fixer services execute the corrective action(s) to resolve the voice transmission problem. As new voice transmission problems become known, the system expands to add reporting services and fixer services. | 03-04-2010 |

20090080656 | METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PERFORMING CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER FAILOVER - Performing cryptographic provider failover utilizing an integrated cryptographic provider to register for each of a plurality of service type—algorithm pairs already registered by each of a plurality of underlying cryptographic providers, such that the integrated cryptographic provider specifies failover support for all registered service type—algorithm pairs using the one or more underlying cryptographic providers. Upon receipt of a first security request, the integrated cryptographic provider constructs a table including a list of cryptographic providers for each of the plurality of service type—algorithm pairs, wherein the table identifies a temporal order in which two or more of the plurality of underlying cryptographic providers were registered for each of the plurality of service type—algorithm pairs. In response to a subsequent security request received from an application, the list of cryptographic providers is used to identify a second cryptographic provider to which the request will be routed if a first cryptographic provider fails. | 03-26-2009 |
