    摘要: A computer implemented method, a computer program product, and a data processing system manage regions within a virtual universe. A current location of an avatar is identified within a virtual universe, the current location being within a currently populated region. A vectored movement of the avatar is identified. Any adjacent region that may probabilistically encounter a horizon of the avatar within a region activation time of the virtual universe is identified. If the adjacent region is deactivated, then the adjacent region is activated. An unpopulated region that is currently active is identified, wherein the unpopulated region is within an extended distance from the avatar's current location. The unpopulated region is then deactivated.

    摘要: A method of copying an operating system image in a cluster computing environment that has virtually unlimited scale does not require the strict amounts of control over installation that current methods have, but rather causes operating system images to propagate themselves in a cluster environment, spreading from one node to the next until the entire cluster is installed. Broadcast storms and response storms during installation are avoided by employing a regulation method that automatically delays installation during busy periods. The method does not require any prior knowledge of the number of nodes in the cluster, or the cluster network configuration.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for the customization of virtual machine images. The method comprises identifying and retrieving a virtual machine image template. A customized virtual machine image is created from the virtual machine image template. The customized virtual machine image template being created by identifying at least one file-system or memory image that is associated with the virtual machine image template, identifying within the at least one file-system or memory image at least one data set, wherein the at least one data set comprises metadata. The metadata contains information detailing the required execution context customization aspects for at least one specified image subset of the virtual machine. Execution context-specific information that is required to customize the image subset of the virtual machine is retrieved. Further, the image subset of the virtual machine is modified in accordance with the retrieved execution context-specific information.

    摘要: A method for managing object attributes in a virtual world environment selects a plurality of selected objects based on a supplied criterion from the user. A plurality of objects meeting the supplied criterion are visually identified to a user of the virtual world environment. The user then chooses a plurality of chosen objects from the plurality of selected objects. An object component for the chosen objects is then modified.

    摘要: A system for calculating and rendering a risk level. In response to receiving an input to perform an action within a data processing system, a level of risk to the data processing system to perform the action is calculated based on a set of rules. It is determined whether the calculated level of risk presents an elevated risk. In response to determining that the calculated level of risk does present the elevated risk, a user interface is rendered with an appropriate elevated visual warning based on the calculated level of risk.
