Abstract: A computing device for receiving an update package comprising a plurality of updates for a plurality of hardware and/or software components of the computer device. An update engine may determine a time order for performing the updates based on relationships and groupings of the updates. The update engine may identify common groupings, interdependent groupings, and any independent updates in the received update package. The update engine may perform a common grouping update method for all identified common groupings and an interdependent grouping update method for all identified interdependent groupings. In the circumstance that all updates in the update package are determined to be independent updates, the update engine may perform an independent update method that enables a selected independent component to be made available at the beginning of the update period, while other components are updated and enabled, and then the selected independent component is updated last.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first storage area for storing firmware including a processing program for communication processing with an external terminal, and a processor. A processor starts execution of the processing program when a request to start the communication processing is received from the external terminal during execution of the firmware in the first storage area, and stores a modification program supplied into a second storage area when the modification program is received during execution of the processing program. The modification program is a modified program of at least a partial program in the processing program. The processor terminates execution of the processing program when a request to terminate the communication processing is received, and rewrites the processing program in the first storage area using the modification program in the second storage area when execution of the processing program is terminated.

Abstract: An application-centric continuous delivery (ACCID) architecture provides a service that automates the configuration and management of end-to-end application lifecycle management (ALM) tools, through an innovative application-centric metadata model that can be customized through a self-service portal. With the ACCID architecture, IT organizations can provide version management, build automation, test automation, artifact management, infrastructure build, and automated application deployment that is consistent with global IT policy and governance and delivered as a service to organizations. The ACCID architecture references customized application metadata models that describe the application services, ALM requirements, and target infrastructure, to employ end-to-end automation of: the software deployment lifecycle and promotion across application environments, e.g., Development, Test, Pre-Production, and Production environments, using private, public, or hybrid cloud deployment models.

Abstract: A bottom-up approach is taken to creating a condensed container, in which an automatic determination is made of the minimum set of requirements and dependencies, in forms of libraries and packages, for deployed applications/services and any corresponding user-specified content. The most fitting libraries and packages are merged with the applications/services, and the merged results are containerized using a minimized version of a container base image. Specialized unikernel generation includes automatically determining the minimum set of requirements and dependencies, in forms of libraries and packages, for the deployed applications/services and any corresponding user-specified content. The best available library operating system is identified, and compilation occurs to generate the unikernel.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for creating clusters on demand. The mechanism installs a cluster on the data processing system. The cluster comprises a master node and a managed node having distributed software installed thereon. The mechanism stores state of cluster on external volumes and removes references specific to the cluster from the state of the cluster stored on the external volumes. The mechanism takes a snapshot of the state of the cluster stored on the external volumes to form a set of volume templates and takes a snapshot of images of the master node and the managed node to form a set of node type images.

In an embodiment, a method involves, at a client device, downloading a launcher from a virtualized application portal to the client device, running the launcher at the client device, wherein running the launcher comprises checking for a first dependency and downloading a file of the first dependency if the first dependency is not installed on the client device, after checking for the first dependency, downloading an apploader from the virtualized application portal, and running the apploader at the client device. Running the apploader involves determining a configuration of the client device and downloading virtualized application components dependent on the configuration, determining specific needs of the virtualized application and downloading components dependent on the specific needs, and starting the virtualized application on the client device.

Abstract: A method of runtime analysis for a computer program can include generating runtime data relating to memory usage for an instrumented computer program and creating a memory map comprising a plurality of memory ranges of different types according to the runtime data. At least a portion of the memory map can be presented to indicate selected ones of the plurality of memory ranges.

Abstract: In some examples, a system receives information of vehicles, the information comprising information of programs executable in the vehicles. The system selects, based on the received information of the vehicles, program updates to include in a program release package, the program updates comprising a patch to update programs in the vehicles, the selecting based on determining how many vehicles are able to apply the program updates of the program release package.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring use, determining risk, and pricing insurance policies for a vehicle having one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous operation features are provided. According to certain aspects, the operating status of the features, the identity of a vehicle operator, risk levels for operation of the vehicle by the vehicle operator, or damage to the vehicle may be determined based upon sensor or other data. According to further aspects, decisions regarding transferring control between the features and the vehicle operator may be made based upon sensor data and information regarding the vehicle operator. Additional aspects may recommend or install updates to the autonomous operation features based upon determined risk levels. Some aspects may include monitoring transportation infrastructure and communicating information about the infrastructure to vehicles.

Abstract: A system provides cloud-based identity and access management. The system receives a request for performing an identity management service. The request identifies the service and a current version of a microservice. The current version of the microservice is in a first stateless middle tier in a first topology that includes a first web tier. The system performs the identity management service by the current version of the microservice using tenant data stored in a database. The system then determines an upgrade to be applied to the microservice, and deploys a second topology that implements the upgrade. The second topology includes a second web tier and a second stateless middle tier including a new version of the microservice. The system tests the new version of the microservice in the second topology using test data stored in the database, promotes the second topology, and drains and shuts down the first topology.
