A system and method are provided for encoding data in accordance with the present invention. The system includes a first subsystem for encoding a second data protocol within a formatted data protocol without disrupting display operations associated with the first data protocol. An encapsulation sequence is provided to isolate the second data protocol from the formatted data protocol, wherein a monitoring subsystem receives status from the first subsystem via the second data protocol.

A system and method for enabling highly scalable multi-node event distribution networks through the use of summary-based routing, particularly event distribution networks using a content-based publish/subscribe model to distribute information. By allowing event routers to use imprecise summaries of the subscriptions hosted by matcher nodes, an event router can eliminate itself as a bottleneck thus improving overall event distribution network throughput even though the use of imprecise summaries ...

A method and system for analyzing the impact on software of an update to a software system is provided. The impact analysis system identifies resources that are affected by an update to the software system and identifies resources that are accessed by various software components during execution of the software components. To analyze the effects of an update, the impact analysis system identifies those accessed resources of the software components that are affected by the update as being impacte...

A method and system for identifying a configuration parameter of a "sick" computer system that is at fault for causing an undesired behavior based on analysis of configuration parameters from other computer systems is provided. In one embodiment, a troubleshooting system collects "suspect" values for "suspect" configuration parameters used by a "sick" application when the undesired behavior was exhibited by the sick computer system. The troubleshooting system then compares the suspect values to ...
