Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for execution of a stateless service on a node (204,206,208) in a workload execution environment is provided. The method may include defining for each node (204, 206, 208) a workload container (210, 216, 222, 228) including a cache component (214, 220, 226, 232) of a cache-mesh. The method may include, upon receiving a state request from a stateless requesting service from one of the cache components (214, 220, 226, 232) of the cache-mesh in an execution container(210, 216, 222, 228), determining whether a requested state is present in the cache component (214, 220, 226, 232) of a related execution container(210, 216, 222, 228). The method may include, upon a cache miss, broadcasting the state request to other cache components (214, 220, 226, 232) of the cache-mesh, determining, by the other cache components (214, 220, 226, 232), whether the requested state is present in respective caches, and upon any cache component (214, 220, 226, 232) identifying the requested state, sending the requested state to the requesting service using a protocol for communication.

Abstract: A software license management system for computer applications runs in a peer-to-peer network. At least one server acts as a provider and at least one server acts as a user but each server 201 comprises the same means. The means are suitable for carrying out a method, implemented as a computer program, for the control of program installations according to respective license regulations. Executable programs are distributed to requesting servers from storage means, preferably from an update file server 205. A metafile, comprising license information on licensing conditions for a corresponding executable program code, is generated and stored, preferably on a licence server 204, and dispatched. A request 202 for transmission of a metafile for a corresponding executable program code is sent, a metafile is downloaded 203 and stored and the executable program code is downloaded, installed and executed under control of software license management system.

Abstract: Ein Verfahren, ein Computersystem und ein Computerprogrammprodukt zur Ausführung eines zustandslosen Dienstes auf einem Knoten in einer Betriebslast-Ausführungsumgebung werden bereitgestellt. Die vorliegende Erfindung kann für jeden Knoten ein Definieren eines Betriebslastcontainers umfassen, der eine Cache-Komponente eines Cache-Netzes umfasst. Die vorliegende Erfindung kann nach dem Empfangen einer Zustandsanforderung von einem zustandslosen anfordernden Dienst aus einer der Cache-Komponenten des Cache-Netzes in einem Ausführungscontainer ein Ermitteln umfassen, ob ein angeforderter Zustand in der Cache-Komponente eines zugehörigen Ausführungscontainers vorhanden ist. Die vorliegende Erfindung kann nach einem Cache-Fehltreffer ein Rundsenden der Zustandsanforderung an andere Cache-Komponenten des Cache-Netzes, ein Ermitteln, durch die anderen Cache-Komponenten, ob der angeforderte Zustand in jeweiligen Caches vorhanden ist, und nachdem eine beliebige Cache-Komponente den angeforderten Zustand erkennt, ein Senden des angeforderten Zustands an den anfordernden Dienst unter Verwendung eines Protokolls für die Datenübertragung umfassen.

Abstract: An apparatus 10 for remotely awakening an electronic device comprises power supply means 12 to supply external power; a receiver 38, 14 for an electromagnetic signal; a capacitor 18 connected to said receiver; a switching circuit 20 connected to said capacitor and a controller 22, being part of said electronic device, connected to receive power from said switching circuit and to provide a keep awake signal 24 to said switching circuit. Said switching circuit comprises connection means to connect said controller with said capacitor when said capacitor is loaded with a predefined amount of power via said receiver as well as switching means 40 responsive to said keep awake signal to disconnect said controller from said capacitor and to connect said controller with said power supply means afterwards. Herein said controller performs an initialization phase in response to first receiving power and enables said keep awake signal after completing said initialization phase.

Abstract: Approving a group purchase request for a group of articles, by selecting a sub-group of articles, wherein a unique article approval index is as­signed to each of the articles and a highest article approval index is de­termined. An article is selected into the sub-group following at least one article selection criteria: the unique article approval index is above a predetermined approval index threshold and equal to the highest article approval index. The group purchase request is approved for the group if the group purchase request for the sub­group is approved; and rejected if the group purchase request for the sub-group is rejected. Approval steps may require particular agreement from for example a manager or director within the procurement hierarchy, as part of the workflow. Similarities between articles and alternative additional articles may be considered, using a ratio of shared attributes.
