Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide operations to manage software licenses in relation to a virtualized image. In one implementation, a system may, during a first initiation of a virtualized instance, execute a process to determine and store registration information associated with the virtualized instance. Once stored, the system may delete the process and use the stored registration information during subsequent initiations of the virtualized instance to determine whether to permit software on the virtualized instance to be executed.

Abstract: A system for querying a graph model and methods for making and using same. An initial vertex set can be received for one or more query blocks. The one or more query blocks can be executed to generate respective output vertex sets. The output vertex sets and the initial vertex set can be enabled to interconnect in a vertex-set-flow graph based on the query blocks. The vertex-set-flow graph can have a Directed Acyclic Graph shape. A selected query block can generate an output vertex set based on an input vertex set with or without traversal over an edge. A selected query block can calculate a runtime attribute. Edges and/or vertices of the graph model can be updated during querying. A selected block can call a graph query as a generic function. Functions for querying the graph model are powerful and can advantageously meet various graph query needs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced detection of fraudulent electronic transactions are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system uses the ongoing stream of transactions to construct and maintain a dynamically evolving merchant relationship graph. When a proposed transaction is submitted to the system, the system computes a predicted likelihood that the given account would make a transaction with these characteristics with the given merchant. The graph is used to compute transitive relatedness between merchants which may be indirectly associated with one another, as well as to compute aggregate relatedness, when there are multiple avenues of relationship between two merchants.

Abstract: A system for updating a target schema of a graph model and methods for making and using same. A schema change job can be run to update the target schema. Loaded source data in the graph model can be updated based on the updated target schema. The schema can be changed at vertex type level, edge type level and attribute level for a pre-defined target schema after source data has been loaded. The loaded source data can be updated to be consistent with the updated target schema without a need of being reloaded. The schema change job can be defined declaratively. The target schema can be versioned and stored to maintain a history of target schema update. Advantageously, schema update can be easy to implement. The time-consuming and expensive reloading process can be avoided. Target schema updating can have high flexibility and high performance.

Abstract: A system for managing graph data and methods for making and using same. A loading plan can be generated according to a loading job. Source data can be loaded into the graph model based on the loading plan. The loading job can be defined declaratively. An interpreter can encode the loading job to generate the loading plan having a tree structure. The loading plan can instruct a loading engine to load the source data. The loading engine can be compiled independent of the loading plan. Advantageously, the loading engine can be compiled no more than once. The compiled loading engine can interpret any loading plan. The compiled loading engine can filter or transform the source data at runtime of the loading. Advantageously, time for compiling the loading engine and reading source data can be saved. Graph data loading can have high flexibility and high performance.
