    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communicating method capable of notifying a message in real time without blocking server resources or without using bandwidth excessively. SOLUTION: A user registers that the user receives one or more messages and transmits a list of pieces of desired information through a client process that operates in a user's computer system. When the user side is ready for message reception, the client process connects to a notification server and gives its reception address ID. The client process next separates from the notification server and waits for a message. A message monitor detects the occurrence of an event that triggers notification and notifies the notification server of the event. The notification server confirms a notification receiver and transmits the notification to the receiving address ID of the client by using an end-to-end message transfer mechanism started by the server. The notification can also be used as a control signal for controlling one or more applications and also to remotely control an appliance through a network.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for urging browse of an advertisement on a public network, a system and a computer program product. SOLUTION: This advertising method on the public network and this host server are released. One or more advertisement banners are served from the host server to a user through the public network. The user requires download of a perfect advertisement from the server. The server records which user requires download of which perfect advertisement. The server decides which user browses the perfect advertisement, and gives a reward to each browse. The decision is done by asking the users one or more questions on the advertisement completely browsed by them. The reward may be a coupon for a travel ticket or have another royalty type form. In addition, an advertiser is asked to pay only for actually completely browsed advertisements.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for transacting future production capacity by an electronic network auction. SOLUTION: In an industry having a production process for regulating production capacity, a method, a device and a computer program product for auctioning the production capacity on-line in regard to a product range by using an electronic network. The production process includes at least on step about product production and at least one input in each production step. The production capacity is placed on sale through the electronic network by using an auction mechanism. The product range of a certain step depends upon the quality and quantity of the input of the step. At least one bidding is received from one or more bidders through the electronic network in regard of a certain product from the product range obtained from an optional production process regardless of a set of previously bid products and corresponding production distribution management or scheduling requirements, and at least one successful bid is made in regard to the product. The product is merchandise, a service or a combination of the merchandise and service.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for pre-provisioning a virtual machine instance. The method includes deriving a weight function for at least one virtual machine request based on historical data of the at least one virtual machine request to create a weighted virtual machine request for each request, capturing at least one inter-arrival pattern of requests, and applying the at least one pattern to the at least one weighted request to create a prioritized ordering of the at least one weighted request, and pre-provisioning at least one instance of a virtual machine image based on the prioritized ordering of the at least one weighted request.
