  And it gives us a chance to gain acceptance in some key areas," said Amit Patel, emerging-technology strategist for alphaWorks.
  ...
  "Right now it is being used by almost 11,000 computers in 70 different countries that are trying to solve the Reyman Hypothesis, a very large and well-known math problem attempting to verify the zeroes of the zeta function," Patel said.
  
  A second technology, the GFRM (Grid File Replication Manager), which improves on the existing open source-based Replica Location Service from Globus, is a Web-based tool for managing grid replicas.In working with dozens of development partners who are widely dispersed geographically, it is often necessary to create remote and read-only copies, or replicas, of files.Replication can be used to reduce the latency commonly associated with accessing files.
  
  "This can make it easier to manage replicas of data on the grid.It also gives you an easier way to create and search through entries in the (Globus) Replica Location Service," said Patel.
  
  The third technology is the DPPEJ (Distributed Parallel Programming Environment for Java), a set of tools for compute-intensive applications mainly in the fields of Bioinformatics as well as financial analytics, which often require the creation of markedly faster, distributed, and parallel applications.
  
  "This (technology) introduced the concept of distributed threads so developers can concentrate their programming on applications that require these threads.It provides the infrastructure support for the distribution and execution of those threads as well as message passing and synchronization.Essentially, it addresses the issue of performance in a highly computational environment," Patel explained.

  ..... "We are showcasing five new technologies," Amit Patel, emerging technology strategist at IBM, told 5 Minute Briefing.They include Method Scheduler for Java, which allows developers to execute methods on Java objects asynchronously and repeatedly to keep the data cache fresh and reduce response times; Java Load Tester, an extensible Web performance stress tool that help to evaluate the performance and capacity of server and Web applications; and Objects for Application Feedback for Java, which eases the managing and reporting process during the development and execution of applications.The method scheduler, Patel noted, has been used internally at IBM since 2001.

  ... "This is a pre-beta release," Amit Patal, emerging technology strategist at IBM, told 5 Minute Briefing."We are looking for feedback which will help guide the development of the product."According to Patel, the technology has been developed by IBM Research in New Delhi, India, as part of a larger effort to create e-government solutions.About 40 percent of the technology showcased on alphaWorks is ultimately incorporated into a commercial product, usually within six months to two years.... "This is truly unique for business managers.It addresses the underlying cost of data administration.Sometimes you don't need a DBA to set business policies," Patal said.

  ... The common theme, according to Amit Patel, emerging technology strategist at IBM, is to make DB2 more accessible, particularly to developers without deep knowledge of databases."URI Access to DB2 is for Web applications developers easy access to DB2," he told 5 Minute Briefing in a private interview.Along the same lines, WebSphere Studio Plug-in for DB2 Intelligent Miner allows developers to incorporate data mining functionality while working within the Eclipse/WebSphere IDE.... The replication tool addresses a growing pain point in many enterprises, Patel added.Although DB2 Version 8 contained some ability to configure replications, this tool encompasses all versions of DB2."It provides a single point of contact for all the databases," he said.... alphaWorks is a showcase for all emerging IBM technologies."This is a big announcement," Patel said.

  IBM on Monday will release five new technologies for testing, developing and evaluating Java software and services, said Amit Patel, emerging technologies strategist for alphaWorks at IBM.
  
  One of the new technologies will be an Eclipse-based development tool for bridging the communications gap between Java and COM applications, Patel said.The Development Tool for Java-COM Bridge, which comes out of the IBM Rational division, enables the integration of both COM- and Java-based components in one application and allows these components to communicate bi-directionally through Java Native Interface technology.
  
  IBM will also release Method Scheduler for Java, or MS4J, a technology used internally on IBM's intranet site to keep the site's data cache fresh, Patel said.The technology allows developers to schedule a set of instructions for Java objects, called methods, to help improve performance of Web sites built in Java."People who manage Web sites will be interested in this," he said.

  It's a red flag for spam, said Amit Patel, emerging technology strategist for IBM Alphaworks.
  
  FairUCE does not "spam the spammers," or send spam back to those who send it, as had been reported erroneously in some news stories about the technology, Patel said.But it gives users several options on how to react to spam.One is to block domains known to originate spam, Patel said.
  ...
  However, there is no firm date for when all commercial e-mailers will publish their domains on authentication systems, Patel said.
  ...
  In FairUCE's defense, Patel said that legitimate e-mailers should have no problem with challenge-response.

  Another technology is Asynchronous Input/Output (I/O) for Java, or AJava, which is aimed at helping Java servers manage high-volume distribution.The technology potentially boosts the number of simultaneous clients that can be connected to a Java application by allowing for asynchronous I/O.That enables the operating system to handle other tasks while messages between Java servers and clients are being completed, Patel said.
  
  "In synchronous input/output, each new connection needs a new thread, so the OS limits the amount of threads," he said.
  ...
  The game allows developers to program application logic in Java through the Eclipse open-source framework, using collaborative development processes, Patel said.
  
  Developers can evaluate all the alphaWorks technologies for free; however, IBM allows companies that want to embed the alpha technologies in their products to license them through its alphaWorks commercial licensing program.So far, IBM has sold nine licenses for the 14 emerging development technologies available on alphaWorks, Patel said.

  "We are not creating spam," said Amit Patel, emerging technology strategist, IBM.
  ...
  "This is much simpler than content look-up," said Patel, adding that not only is traditional content filtering very hardware-intensive, but "spammers will find a way to defeat your filter."
  ...
  Down the road, the software would work with look-up tables and registries of reputable e-mail sources, according to Patel.

  According to Amit Patel, emerging technology strategist at IBM's AlphaWorks, the novel idea behind FairECU is that it seeks to identify the spammer's domain identity.The system tries to determine if the e-mail is "spoofed," which means that the e-mail address and the server name from which it is sent do not match.E-mail identified as spam is sent back to the server from which it originated.In cases of uncertainty, the software generates a challenge-response to the sender.
  
  According to Patel, the traditional approach of content-filtering, or looking at specific key words in an e-mail is outdated, because it leads to an "arms race" with spammers who are driven by economics to find ways around it.
