  • Publication number: 20150039585
    Abstract: A global dictionary is described that corresponds to a database or table stored across multiple partitions. The global dictionary can be used to identify which partitions of the database contain records that are relevant to a user's query on the database. The global dictionary is made up of variable tables. Each variable table corresponds to a column of the database. A given variable table includes value tables where each value table corresponds to a defined value that has been assigned to a record in the database. A value table can include a list of partitions that contain a record having the related defined value.

  • Publication number: 20150029865
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing network traffic routing optimizations. One computer-implemented method includes calculating a direct connection cost for network traffic between two points in a network, the network including one or more nodes of an accelerated application delivery (AccAD) network, calculating an AccAD connection cost for the network traffic between the two points in the network using at least one node of the AccAD network, comparing the calculated direct connection cost and the AccAD connection cost, and determining whether the direct connection cost is greater than the sum of the AccAD connection cost and a minimum cost threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20150032721
    Abstract: In an example embodiment a sender report containing multiple rows and/or columns of information drawn from a data table may be displayed to a user of a machine. A user may select a portion of the displayed information. A sender adaptor may extract report-to-report selection criteria from the selected information. A receiver adaptor may identify other data tables where information related to the report-to-report selection criteria resides. If such information resides in multiple data tables, the receiver adaptor may join the multiple data tables into one or more data tables. The receiver adaptor may convert the report-to-report selection criteria into selection criteria for the identified data table(s) or joined data table(s). The selection criteria may be passed to a generic receiver report adapted to retrieve any information from any data table(s). The generic receiver report may retrieve information according to the selection criteria and display the information to the user.

  • Publication number: 20150033189
    Abstract: Methods and systems of navigating through process steps of a guided procedure are described. A plurality of process step identifiers may be caused to be displayed in a spiral formation in a graphical user interface of a device. Each process step identifier may identify a corresponding process step of a guided procedure. The process step identifiers may be displayed in positions along the spiral formation that reflect an order of their corresponding process steps in the guided procedure. User input may be received for one of the process steps of the guided procedure using the process step identifier that corresponds to the one of the process steps for which the user input is received. The plurality of process step identifiers may be caused to be rotated within the graphical user interface of the device.

  • Publication number: 20150033346
    Abstract: A mapping engine may be used to determine an attack model enumerating software attacks, the software attacks being represented by linked attack components, and may be used to determine a software architecture to be tested, the software architecture being represented by linked architectural components in an architecture diagram. The mapping engine may then associate each attack component and each architectural component with at least one attack tag characterizing attack requirements. A global test plan generator may be used to determine an attack test model, including associating attack components with corresponding architectural components, based on associated attack tags, and may thus generate attack test workflows from the attack test model, to thereby test the software architecture.

  • Publication number: 20150032802
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to synchronizing dictionaries of acceleration nodes in a computer network. For example, dictionaries of a plurality of acceleration nodes of a client-server network can be synchronized to each include one or more identical data items and data identifier pairs. Synchronization can include transmitting a particular data item, or a combination of a data item and an associated data identifier, to another acceleration node which includes it in its dictionary. A particular acceleration node can, instead of transmitting a data item, transmit an associated data identifier to another acceleration node. As all (or a subset) of the acceleration nodes can have an identical dictionary when employing the methods described herein, the particular acceleration node can use the same dictionary to communicate with all (or the subset of) other acceleration nodes of the computer network.
