Abstract: The present disclosure relates to voicemail categorization and access. An apparatus, for example a PBX, is provided for categorizing voicemails. The apparatus is configured to store voicemail messages and to determine and store metadata associated with the voicemail messages. The apparatus allows searches of the stored voicemail messages to be performed using the associated metadata. A user interface may reside on a user device or be provided by the apparatus. The interface allows other user to search for voicemails using the metadata associated with them and subsequently displays information about the voicemails which match the search criteria.

Abstract: According to the present invention, an architecture of multiple agents is provided for setting up and enforcing policies within each site of a virtual network. A policy server represents the global policies of the site and each agent manages its own policies. Policies are dynamically downloaded from the policy server into agents that carry the responsibility to enforce them. Agents propagate their policies to the policy server to detect any conflict that may rise between agents during dynamic mapping and resource reservation. A negotiation mechanism is provided to resolve such conflicts. An authorization-based mechanism is also provided such that agents must request authorization before performing any action, in response to which a ticket is delivered to the requesting agent for accountability and security reasons.

Abstract: A method of detecting feature interaction conflicts between agents in response to events in a multi-agent system comprises posting said events as tuples and event requests as anti-tuples from said agents in said multi-agent system, receiving said events and said event requests in a tuple space, generating responses to each of said agents for said events which match said event requests of said agents, wherein feature interaction conflict is detected when more than one of said agents are to exert control over an event.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to communications, and more particularly, to a seamless interworking of call control between autonomous systems. In an illustrative embodiment, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device can be connected to multiple autonomous networks, for example, a private network through a Private Branch Exchange and a public network through a Public Switched Telephone Network. The user device can have multiple network interfaces. Alternatively, there can be one network interface to access the autonomous networks. These networks each can provide unique collaboration services. Collaboration services can include, but are not limited to, associations, roles, availability and features. The electronic device can setup connections and initialize a call through both networks. Through the device, each of the networks can add or delete participants to the call under the direction of the user. The networks can also provide the user device with suitable feature keys.

Abstract: A method for a computing apparatus for evaluating a virtualized application is provided. Accordingly, performance characteristics for a virtual machine as well as predetermined criteria based on resource requirements for a proposed virtualized application can be received through the network interface of the computing apparatus. The method also allows for determining, at the computing apparatus, whether the predetermined criteria are satisfied based on the performance characteristics and transmitting instructions to cause the proposed virtualized application to be set up within the virtual machine if the predetermined criteria are satisfied. Once the virtualized application is set up, it can be monitored and if the performance characteristics do not satisfy the virtualized application's performance requirements, the virtualized application can be caused to be moved to a different virtual machine. Performance characteristics of a virtual machine can also be determined on the basis of a parking database.

Abstract: The present invention provides a quotation mechanism for service environments where the service level is negotiated. A client makes a request for a type, quality or volume of service. The service provider provides a response in the form of a quote. A quote binds the service provider to providing a service at a specified price. The quote also contains parameters of type, quality, or volume of service that the service provider can provide at that price. The client, after evaluating the quote, can either accept or reject a quote. The client can also obtain quotes from multiple service providers and enter a service contract with the service provider of its choice. This choice will not be based solely on price, but also on the levels of service quoted, since the service provider might not be able to supply the service at the requested level.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了协商服务级别的服务环境的报价机制。 客户请求类型，质量或服务量。 服务提供商以报价的形式提供响应。 报价将服务提供商绑定到以指定价格提供服务。 该报价还包含服务提供商可以以该价格提供的类型，质量或服务量的参数。 客户在评估报价后，可以接受或拒绝报价。 客户还可以从多个服务提供商获取报价，并与其选择的服务提供商签订服务合同。 该选择不仅仅基于价格，而是基于所引用的服务水平，因为服务提供商可能无法在所要求的级别提供服务。
